Love the organic cotton buds. Love this brand
I love that the stem is recycled and the cotton is organic, especially since cotton is such a highly sprayed/GMO crop. Room for improvement- the PLA window in the packaging is completely unnecessary, adds to landfill and could be replaced with plant based packaging that is compostable.
Such a good alternative to those plastic versions. Does the job.
These are great, they are still stiff enough to clean well. Also a great bonus they are plastic free and made from organic cotton, since cotton has such a bad impact on the environment too.
The cardboard stem is eco-friendly and a deciding factor to switch over from regular cotton buds. However, it is less sturdy, so it requires a gentle hand, but by no means a deal breaker. My only complaint is the PLA window in the packaging. Contrary to general perception and understanding, polylactic acid plastic (PLA) is only biodegradable in a specialised industrial facility with specific conditions which Australia does not yet have and compostable only if certain conditions are met. PLA cannot be recycled with other regular plastic because the additives in the manufacturing of PLA will contaminate the regular plastics rendering them toxic and unsafe to be recycled for further use. PLA is, unfortunately, destined for the landfill, and it will decompose like regular soft plastic which takes about 1,000 years unless we have specialised industrial facility to decompose or recycle it; otherwise, the only difference is that it is made from renewable resource versus non-renewable petroleum resource. The PLA's waste life cycle impact on the environment is the same as regular plastic for now until there are specialised PLA waste life cylcle industrial facilities.
Soft effective cotton buds with no plastic !
Love that the cardboard stem doesn't break while in use. Very soft to use & gets the job done :)
Good product. Great to have non-plastic (note the 'plastic' window in packaging is PLA - biodegradable and compostable plastic). As others note, bends under pressure. Not made in China is a bonus for me. Organyc brand advise they are 100% Free of Chemicals, Dyes, Fragrances & Wood Pulp.
No plastic, so it's better all round.
Love these cotton buds
Great product that can be disposed of in green waste bin
A staple in our home as they are inexpensive and environmentally friendly. Agree that plastic in packaging could be removed as it is unnecessary and am contemplating moving to Green and Kind instead as they are made in Aus so therefore less fossil fuel to get to my door.
These are really soft and nice to use, but they do bend quite easily, so perfect for things that need extra gentle care.
i like it, im hoping to move to silicon bud as it is more eco friendly - as it is reusable, but this work well, and its better then the plastic one for sure
These were just what I have been looking for-happy to ditch the plastic ones and thrilled with these!
These feel just like other cotton buds and are so easy to use. No shedding either. Fab!
Works as cotton buds, no issues, would recommend.
They are a little weak so I prefer the green and kind brand but these are also good
These are good cottonbuds and the main reason I brought them is because they are more environmentally friendly then what is sold in supermarkets.
Surprisingly very sturdy. No different to usual buds but I love that these can be put in the compost. I agree with other reviews that there’s no need for the plastic on the packaging.
Super sturdy and work just like the normal q-tip. My only thing is that the packaging still has plastic on it. It's not super necessary and adds nothing to the product. Please get rid of the plastic!!
Does the job well, no different than the plastic ones . The cheapest option I can find on the market of eco ones . Still have a small amount of plastic on the box but that is my only concern
Sturdy stems without the guilt of using plastic.
These cotton buds are great. I thought that the stem might be flimsy but you can barely tell it’s cardboard and not plastic. Best price compared to the other brands on this site.
I am so pleased I have these and are doing something positive for the environment. Great product
Great alternative to plastic ones and not overall overpriced.
Great value and does the job!
Good strong stem and it doesn't break when you're using it.
Great alternative with good quality.
