Simple Natural ProductsWool Dryer Balls - Fabric Softener and Dryer Sheets for Laundry Supplies – Reusable Wrinkle and Static Guard Wool Balls – Unscented for Sensitive Skin (6 XL Pack)

I bought these several months ago after several of my friends raved about their experience with wool dryer balls and I saw lots of great reviews on this brand describing all sorts of amazing results with their laundry. I don't have any other wool dryer ball brands to compare these to, but I am wondering if a) this is an inferior brand or b) wool dryer balls have gotten more hype than they deserve. I don't have an answer to that yet.Here's what I know about my bag of dryer balls:1) from the beginning, I've never noticed any reduction in drying time, and I always use all 6 balls, even with very small loads of lightweight clothing...same amount of dry time in my observation.2) pilling of the dyer balls. Are they supposed to pill up after second use? I tried removing the pilling, but it kept happening, so I gave up and just used them as is. They don't seem to add any fuzz to the clothing being dried, so I tolerate this pilling.3) static: I've not noticed static reduction. Once in a while they have mild static even with the dryer balls, but for years I've done laundry without any dryer products (sheets, balls, etc. and I typically only have static on synthetics or during extreme dry/cold seasons, so I cannot tell if these balls are making any benefit here).4) softness: I think we might be getting a slight benefit from the dryer balls on this point. But it could just be that we bought brand new softer towels the same week we bought the wool dryer balls...it is hard to say.5) wrinkles: I think we might be getting benefits from the wool dryer balls on this point. But occasionally clothes still come right out of the dryer with little bits of wrinkling. I think it is more about which fabrics we're talking about on this point.6) Essential Oils and wool dryer balls: Just going to put this comment out there. "WHY?" Why would anyone add essential oils to dyer balls and toss them into any HEAT setting. Essential oils are heat sensitive, that is why people recommend COOL AIR/MIST DIFFUSERS, so before I knew this, I did try using EOs on the wool dryer balls, but the heat caused the smell to change and dramatically fade away too, causing me to use drops every time I put in another load...and still the clothes in that fresh batch didn't seem to benefit from the EO by the time the dryer quit running and the clothes cooled down.In all, I have felt like wool dryer balls are a mediocre "okay" product that MAY OR MAY NOT soften clothes and reduce wrinkles. I have not observed any obvious or easily noticeable major changes in my clothing from using them. So if you're looking for some "miracle product" that will totally transform your laundry experience, this claim seems in my experience to be "hyped up and overrated". I'm not experiencing any negative problems or effects on the clothing by using the dryer balls, but in nearly five months or so of constant use for a family of five, I have yet to see anything obviously miraculous or life-changing about this product. So I probably won't purchase this again, but since I already own them, we will continue to toss them in the dryer and use them in the event that they have mild benefits for issues with wrinkles, softness and static.Please note, I always use a natural detergent that does not have dyes, fragrances, phosphates or any brightener additives that cling to fabrics for light reflection. My clothes always come out completely clean without odor or fragrance. So I know that my dryer ball experience is not being negated by a poor choice of laundry soap or other additive.

The ad claims MADE IN NEW ZEALAND which is quality wool. The package shows MADE IN CHINA. See photos. This is an FTC violation of false advertising. It also looks to be a cheap counterfeit knock off of a fine New Zealand product.

I was linked to these dryer balls through a consumer report 2018 deeming these the best wool balls on the market. So far I am thrilled with the product. My clothes are getting dried quicker and I love the "hung on the line but not crunchy" feel to them. They are static free and as soft as I want them without feeling like they have a softener build-up or residue on them. Best of all....now my laundry routine is chemical free too. Thank you for a wonderful product. You've got my repeat business!!

I luv, luv, luv these wool dryer balls! After much research..i found these are actually 100% wool...compared to "woolzies" which are "mostly" made of wool. I've only been using them for 2 wks..but I am in awe! I have a front loader set and was skeptical....fearing they would off balance the load, or be noisy like my kids trying to dry their tennis shoes! I was impressed...I only use 3 of the 6...they are quiet and really do help cut down the drying time! I gave the other 3 to my mom since she has a front loader set too! *next I'm going to try adding the essential oils to them!* =)

I have been using these for several weeks and have realized they do not work as advertised. Stick with the dryer sheets.....the sheets work, these dryer balls do not. Unfortunately, I convinced several friends and family to try these and their results were similar.

Love these things. They fluff the clothes nicely and keep things from sticking together. Especially good at keeping heavy things from compacting and ending up with bunched and twisted areas that don't get air circulation. Was given some by a friend and got some more on my own. I also watched a video for and energy company evaluating whether they actually saved money by improving air circulation around and through clothing. They apparently do, but they also would take a whole to pay for themselves. Lots of pluses and much better than softener cloths.

I really like these Dryer Balls. First off, they are lovely to use/hold, and the cloth bag is handy to store them in while not in use. The bag gives suggestions about how many balls to use for various loads, and I like that. I found that the balls do reduce drying time, as promised. Yay. They have eliminated static. For most fabrics they provide softness. However, I found that towels don't get as soft as I prefer. However, I know that using fabric softener deduces absorbency, so from time to time I wash my towels without softener to eliminate the buildup. The balls are adequate to use in this situation.

I've now had these for several months and I love them! I bought some Edens Garden scented oil because I do like a little scent on laundry out of the dryer. The wool balls are so much better than dryer sheets. I haven't noticed a big effect on static or speed of drying time, but everything feels soft and dries in reasonable time. With the light scent I choose. Less waste and no chemical smells. Everyone should have these!
