Review on ๐ŸŒฟ Environmentally-Friendly Organic Cotton Balls: Pack of 3 - 240 Natural and Biodegradable Balls by Trish Edens

Revainrating 4 out of 5

I can't go back now.

How can you praise a cotton swab? Saying this is the second softest thing you've ever put on your face? Thank it for not tearing it once you wipe your forehead with it? Yes, and a little more, so everyone else is telling the truth: they're huge and very soft. I love that they don't leave lint on my face, and since my skin can be **extremely** sensitive, they feel like a soft, dreamy departure from the spiky ones I've used most of my life . I've been buying organic cotton balls since they first became available (cotton industry, amirite?) but none of them looked like this one. I can't go back now, seriously. I ran away (and got kicked out of our Prime account before my birthday in late June) so I had to go through my cupboards and found some "huge" (half the size of this one, FYI) dispensaries I stopped by. I could not do it. They were far worse than I remembered; They actually hurt my face (I think they were the super super cheap ones I use on my nails) and left cottony threads all over the place. Although they're expensive for a cotton swab, I don't even think about it because they're amazing and there's nothing to improve on. And seriously, if you have someone with sensitive skin who needs to use cotton swabs for medical reasons (cleaning before dressing wounds, etc.), please get these. Update: Removed one star due to size discrepancy; I've come across several of these balls, so small I can't believe they came from the same bag. I don't remember this edition in my first bag so maybe Revain sells that. I'll double check after ordering again and see if that's the case.

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • Can hurt
