DDLBiZ Cotton Swab with Wooden Sticks for Clean Care Makeup, Pack of 200 Pieces (Color 2)

We wanted wooden cotton buds as we prefer them to plastic and saw these. However, as per the photos show THEY COME APART AND COULD POSSIBLY GET STUCK IN YOUR EAR.I've no idea how these have been allowed to be sold, but please take my advise and do not buy them

Should I stop using my regular single-use plastic cotton buds, to avoid them going into landfill, or being dragged through the oceans by seahorses? Sure. These wooden cotton buds do their job excellently (and for a reasonable price). I feel like a total hippie displaying them in a carelessly-placed Mason jar in my bathroom. I strongly consider growing out my armpit hair and becoming vegan. Then I am reminded that these unofficial eardrum-pokers have travelled all the way from China in a shipping container to get to me, and I go eat bacon.

Be aware, these come from China and take 2 weeks. I'd actually forgotten about them. Excellent product. Hard to get it wrong really!

THese are brilliant, since they have got rid of the blue plastic Johnson’s ones we have been lost as the white one just bend in your ears but these are fabulous!

I found the buds a bit smaller than I'm used to but thought that overall they were solid and well made. Unlike some of the cheaper plastic ones they seem unlikely to fray and come apart and damage the ear. Not being plastic they are better for the environment but they took a long time to arrive so I assume they came from far away, so there is the carbon footprint to worry about. Happy overall but, as mentioned, they took a long time to arrive.

Since our cotton buds are all pc now with flimsy paper sticks we searched for something stronger that was bio degradable, these are bamboo and seemed ideal. The ends are very good, but take care with the sticks as they do tend to snap in half if you put a lot of force on them and the bits are splinters as it is bamboo, however we do like them and will use them with care. My husband uses them in his workshop for cleaning smal items.

Good thing I don't speak mandarin, I don't want to know it says: "Do not insert in the ear canal... Ooops, too late... It's the best thing ever, but don't use my review as an excuse to put your health in risk. Be careful when using it. Never insert in the ear canal when walking, people are moving around you or if you feel something may make you lose control of movement of hands, arms, etc...

Perfect. Finally a cotton bud that doesn’t bend with the tiniest amount of pressure. Removing plastic is a great thing but the paper stemmed cotton buds have yet to be perfected and are frankly next to useless. These are amazing. Strength of the old plastic variety but using natural materials. Perfect!
