About This Item:
The average person uses 415 disposable cotton swabs every year! Traditional cotton swabs, buds, and q-tips are made from plastic and contribute to deforestation, harming our environment and wildlife.
Our cotton swabs are made from bamboo, one of the fastest growing plants on the planet, and are a more sustainable option!
Each pack comes with 200 bamboo cotton buds in recycled kraft paper packaging.
End of life: To dispose the cotton buds, you can put them straight into your compost or food waste recycling. However, you can also remove the cotton and repurpose the bamboo sticks for art projects or anything else you could think of!
Customers praised these eco-friendly cotton buds as "sturdy" and compostable. Most found them comparable to traditional swabs, though some noted they can break with excessive pressure. Shoppers appreciated the bamboo construction and plastic-free packaging. "Work great" for makeup, cleaning, and personal care. Some mentioned they're slightly stiffer than plastic alternatives.
- The bamboo is strong whereas we've had other brands break easily
- Really like that these don't leave lint or little balls of cotton behind
- Great quality, great eco-friendly alternative and the subscription makes it so easy!
The cotton buds are pretty straightforward, I love the amount of them that are included. I put them in a small mason jar to store them and they’re aesthetically pleasing to any of my guests
The bamboo cotton buds are soft yet durable. I have used them in my makeup routine, cleaning, and crafts, and they work great for all of those uses.
This is my second purchase of the cotton buds. The cotton bud is thick and soft. Very absorbant. Like all Upcircle products you feel like you are doing your bit for the environment. I can highly recommend this product.
I was curious about these cotton buds on a stick so I gave them a try. They work great for me so far. I dip the buds in alcohol to help dry out the water that gets trapped in my ears after showering per my ENT recommendation. Grew up with numerous ear infections because of the canal shape inside my ears. No I do not stick them in far at all. Just enough to let the alcohol help dry them some. Haven't had an ear infection since I was 22 and I'm 51 now. I tried them out for makeup application, put ointment on a cut, cleaned little tight crevices of my Keurig, and many other tasks I was able to use them for. Really like that these don't leave lint or little balls of cotton behind like the Q-tips do. That's always been a big problem for me with those. Another thing I noticed is that the Bamboo Buds don't give way to bending when wet. When I'm done with the Bamboo Buds I toss them into my Bamboozle kitchen compost pail. These travel so much better than the other too. The kraft paper container is super sturdy and when the buds are all gone I can reuse the container to store something in it, make a craft with it, wrap a small gift in it, recycle it, compost it, or put some dirt in it, a seed, and start growing a flower or something. Got them on subscription so I can get them at a nice discount whenever I need them.
They look and feel like the real thing... except they're eco-friendly!
We’ve been using these for over a week and have been very happy with the experience. We will continue to buy them again.
These cotton buds are less fluffy than normal store bought ones but they hold up well and I feel better about not using ones that have plastic in them.
These were good. They felt sturdy.
Work great. Can snap if too much pressure is applied and a bit stiff. But overall a good sustainable alternative
These cotton buds are comfortable to use and easily compostable. Great alternative to plastic ear buds!
the cotton buds are great, love the container
We love these because they are made out of bamboo, not plastic
We loved these cotton buds! The size and shape of the cotton is perfect, and the bamboo is strong whereas we've had other brands break easily. There are still a small amount that break, but it's not from gentle use. Also, the amount sent for the price is also more than competitors! Will order again!
they get the job done for the most part but the stick isn't sturdy/bendy enough and often breaks in half way more than a typical cotton swab
Have used these before. Robust product.
I can use them without feeling guilty about what’s gonna end up in the landfill
The bamboo cotton buds are a great product. So nice to have a sustainable option. Definitely would recommend.
Best cotton buds on the market , they don’t bend !
Good that they are completely natural.
Exactly as advertised. I like that they're compostable!
I love these and buy them on repeat
I tried a reusable ear cleaner and it just wasn't for me. I've used regular cotton swabs and they are fragile while also not being a good option. I've been using these bamboo cotton buds for a few years now and really love them! Great quality, great eco- friendly alternative and the subscription makes it so easy to stay stocked up!
Just what I needed
Like that these are made from natural materials, and not as expensive as other similar products
Love that these are backyard compostable and the container is too.
Excellent quality, good value for money
Not sure what to say: they’re cotton buds. Can’t live without them. Well packaged, sensibly sized box. Good price. Cotton wool bit doesn’t fall off . They do important things in my make up routine. Indispensable
These cotton buds are rigid as they have the bamboo centre and much better than paper ones
