UpCircle Bamboo Cotton Buds - 200 Pieces - Biodegradable, Sustainable, Plastic-Free, Fully Recyclable Ear Buds - A Staple For Any Bathroom

Have been using Johnson's for all my life as has my wife but they have been getting really soft and bendy of late and we have been looking for something else.Seen these advertised on here and noticed they are biodegradable which is always a good thing and more importantly they are made with or of bamboo and they don't bend.And boy do they not, i like to give my ears a damn good cleaning and finally with these you can. Super stong and sturdy and yes they bend a little but that's with a lot of force placed through them.Found our new everyday cotton bud and yes they are on the expensive side, but well worth it.

Bought because I love the bamboo buds, sturdy and made from sustainable plant material. Great value too.

Good quality bamboo buds. Work as expected.

The bamboo stick is genius as it remains sturdy unlike the bendy plastic variety

I was looking for something, which was more environmentally friendly, while being less flimsy, than the common plastic style. This is the case, in general. The bamboo cotton buds do the job and are definitely worth the money. I would recommend them, but with a caution:I find the common style bend too easily, when trying to use them. So, I thought these would be perfect, considering they are bamboo. However, my concern is that the bamboo snaps, if you apply pressure. I know they are not recommended for using inside the ear canal, but like most people, it is why I use them. There are a couple of occasions, where I was a little to eager and the bud snapped inside my ear. Luckily, I was able to retrieve the broken part, without pushing it any deeper. I think it's just something to be mindful of, when using these or anything similar.Overall, these are fit for purpose and are better for the environment. They do the job, which they advertise, but just be careful, when applying pressure, because they do snap easily. I was trying to find something that didn't bend, like the plastic buds do, but these snap instead. So, just be careful and gentle, regardless of what you use them for.

Nice. Doesn’t pull out

Very pleased with the quality and they do the job perfectly. I actually got them so I could pollinate my lemon tree as the bees don’t seem to want to come near it yet and they did a very good job and hopefully next summer I’ll have a good batch of lemons!

They don’t break down the cotton in your ear and best of all they are environmental friendly
