Friendsheep Wool Dryer Balls, Organic Fair Trade Reusable Fabric Softener, Extra Large, 6 Pack, Black Penguin - Cool Friends

I love these wool dryer balls! I have sensitivities to a lot of things and can't use dryer sheets, and these work just as well if not better. My laundry dries faster, there's zero static, and everything still comes out soft. Plus, the designs on them are super cute!

These are so cute and easy to use. They do a great job of helping my clothes dry more quickly than before. I used to have to run the dryer twice before everything was dry and with these I can run it once. My clothes come out soft. They don't make any additional noise in the dryer and seem to be a great quality. Love that they'll pay for themselves many times over since I don't have to buy dryer sheets.

Soot sprites that help with laundry! They’re incredible and bring joy to an otherwise droll chore. They work really well, last a long time, and I swear they make my clothes softer somehow. Less static too! I used to always have static with dryer sheets but not with these. I have sensitive skin and these don’t leave any weird films or scents on my clothes.

These are the most fun dryer balls ever!I needed new dryer balls - my old ones were finally beat to death and it was time for some fresh ones.When I first saw these bees, I thought they were sheep, like in Shaun the Sheep. Too cute! Then I realized they are bumble bees. Still too cute!The balls are strong, holding together beautifully, happily bouncing around in our dryer, making our clothes soft without adding chemicals. I could have paid less for plain ones, but the little smiles they always bring either of us as we look for them* make them worth the extra. Plus they are made and sold by a nice family business that deserves a little support!* as we look for them... Yes, dryer balls always try to escape, to make it out of the dryer and into the closet by snuggling into pant legs or shirt sleeves. The bees are no different - they do the same, so we play 'hide and seek' whenever they start the game.

These dryer balls are the bees knees!I’ve been looking to reduce the amount of chemicals I introduce into my environment, and this was a great choice. I add a dropper of jasmine essential oil to each of the balls periodically before putting all three of them in the dryer, and I find that they help the clothes dry more evenly while giving a lovely scent to the laundry. (The balls themselves are unscented.)I’ve used plastic dryer balls in the past, which I found to be noisy and ineffective with respect to scenting the clothing, and these balls are infinitely superior in both respects. Because they are wool, they are relatively quiet, and can absorb the scent of any essential oils you want to add. They’re each about the size of a baseball, soft, and slightly squishy to the touch.I plan to purchase more as housewarming gifts for friends and family - I just love these!

I’m not sure why they are called XL. When I first learned about these years ago they were really hard to find. It was easier and more cost effective to make my own. I can’t seem to find them now and see these for sale everywhere. I purchased some from Grove Collaborative and they left lint all over everything. I hated them. My dog ended up stealing them for himself. I held off on buying new ones for years because I can’t seem to find ones that are as large as they are supposedly supposed to be. From what my research tells me they should be the size of a soft ball. These aren’t. They are the size of a baseball so I’m not sure what is extra large about them.Aside from that beef I have with the supposed size they do work well. I was worried about getting anything with color since half of our wardrobes are light or white in color. So far I see no color transfer at all. I’ve seen people complain about them smelling but I smell nothing. They definitely speed up the dry time. Typically my towels take 45 minutes to dry and I have a dryer that’s less than 2 years old. I do not use fabric softener on my towels. (You’re not supposed to at all anyhow, you can’t dry yourself with a towel that has had fabric softener on it, the water doesn’t absorb into the fabric.) Using these dryer balls my towels are dry in less than 30 minutes depending on the humidity. I use more than one set in my dryer too because I’m still wondering why they are so small.My only real issue with them is they get stuck in side my laundry quite often. I find them stuck in the sleeves of shirts in every load. When I made my own and made them the size of a soft ball they didn’t do that as often. It would only happen maybe every 3 or 4 loads. These get stuck in every single load I do. I have to be careful because when I’m removing the laundry sometimes they fall out onto the floor and my dog tries to take them. They do make great and safe dog balls but not for the price they are. (I do see on their website they sell seconds so you can use “ugly” balls in your laundry for less or give them to your dog to play with. I am excited to get some but they are currently sold out.)Lastly I really love that they are as eco friendly as they can be. Their packaging and bags are all plastic free. I’m not sure what the thing is on the end of the tie string, it looks like some kind of nut shell, very unique and neat looking!

We found out about these through the AllTrue box that we get seasonally. And we are obsessed with them. They work sooo well - especially for linens!

These work very well! I like that they're black - adding essential oils to the balls doesn't leave visible stains. The balls are durable and add fluffiness to my laundry. Also, they're cute! I recommend these dryer balls.
