This is the box to the Woolzies! I love how simple, yet beautiful it is. I think it looks very retro! I'm a sucker for packaging :) As you can see on the box, these Dryer Balls are guaranteed to last for at least 1,000 loads! That's CRAZY! We do an average of 2-3 loads per day (depending on who is washing their clothes) so this should last us about a year! That's already saving us money! And keyword, it said "at least" So that means they could last longer! As I said above, these balls are a natural fabric softener. I love that it all comes in one single ball, and that you don't have to have separate items for drying/softening (I.e Fabric Softener and Dryer Sheets). These balls also reduce drying time by 25% in larger loads, and more in smaller ones! To be honest, I'm really not sure about this aspect. We usually just set our dryer to the slot it's always on, which isn't really timed, and whenever it's done, it's done. We don't really keep track of that, but I believe these would actually cut down drying time just because of the wool itself.
I have pretty big hands, and this is a photo to show just how large these actually are! They're nice and plump, and are very high quality. According to the website, these wool balls are also handmade! As a fellow crafter, I find that great. I love when things are handmade and not made by a machine or robot! There are so many pluses to these wool balls. They contain NO chemicals, instead they soften laundry fibers with gentle friction. After doing a test load, both me and my mom were surprised with the results! The clothes felt SO much softer, and were very comfortable. I was very amazed!
Here are 3 of 6 balls in our clothing in the dryer! The other 3 are already hidden among clothing. (See the Spiderman pants? Those are mine...yes, I'm a 20 year old girl and I have Spiderman pajamas ;)). These balls really rock. They help eliminate wrinkles AND reduce static! But the thing that happens to be my FAVORITE touch about these wool balls? They're noise free. If there is one noise in the world I hate a lot, it's the sound of those pesky little plastic/rubber dryer balls banging around in a dryer drum, that echoes throughout the house! I get headaches SO fast when I hear that noise, and now I don't have to suffer.
Here is one of 4 plastic dryer balls we have. This one USED to be completely yellow...now it's not. These things SUCK, but my mom swears by them. Now she likes the wool ones better. That's good for the environment AND my ears :) Not only are these loud, but they break apart. At one point we were using 2 blue ones that had cracked in half! What good is that? Not only are the plastic balls annoying, they also are one of the most poisonous plastics on the Earth, and when heated up can emit the dangerous materials inside. (Yes, I did some research on this.) So, I'm happy to say I think we've converted completely to Woolzies XL Dryer Balls! One last thing that is awesome is that these balls are safe for people with wool sensitivities, and are also hypoallergenic!
The box also came with this cute FAQ's card inside. I will be reciting the above for you below.
"What are Woolzies and how do they benefit me and the environment?
Regular fabric softeners, both in liquid and sheet form contain numerous harsh chemicals which are toxic to the environment and even more dangerous to many people who have serious allergic reactions to them. The elderly, ailing and small children can suffer from a variety of negative symptoms which are really just allergic reactions to the harsh chemicals contained in these commercial fabric softening products. Additionally, because Woolzies bounce around in your dryer, they naturally separate and create space between your laundry, thereby allowing the hot dryer air to circulate better and subsequently cutting down on drying time by about 25%-30%. This of course saves both time and money for you and energy for the environment. These 6 Woolzies dryer balls are enough for a small, medium or large load. If you are drying an extra large load, we recommend using 8 dryer balls.
How long will my Woolzies last?
Woolzies are guaranteed to last for at least 1,000 loads.
If I have an allergy to wool, can I still use Woolzies?
Yes! Absolutely! Since the wool is not directly touching your skin and does not shed, everyone can use Woolzies without any allergic reactions.
Why do the dryer balls seem to each vary slightly in size, shape and texture?
Our dryer balls are completely handmade. They are not mass produced by machine. Therefore, you will notice variations in size, color and texture.
Why are Woolzies better than rubber/plastic/tennis balls in the dryer?
Rubber and plastic balls are made from harsh chemicals including PVC's which are released onto your laundry by the hot dryer air. Not only are these types of dryer balls dangerous to your health, they are toxic to the environment as well. Additionally, the harsh tumbling action of rubber, plastic and tennis balls can damage your dryer's sensitive electronic sensors. Finally, some of these types of balls may even melt slightly and cause fabric staining."
There is also a "Did you know?" section on the back:
"1. Most commercial dryer liquids and sheets contain chemicals that destroy the fire retardant qualities in children's and adult's clothing and reduce the absorbancy of towels!
2. You can reduce static cling even more by simply rolling up a piece of plain kitchen aluminum foil into the size of one of the Woolzies balls and placing it in the dryer together with the 6 Woolzies dryer balls.
3. The Secret to Heavenly Scented Laundry:
After the laundry is completely dried, take out 2 of the Woolzies balls and apply desired amount of pure essential oil to each ball. Toss the 2 back into the dryer with the other 4 and run on Air Fluff (no heat) for 10 minutes. Your laundry will smell heavenly AND the scent will linger for several days! "

*I did receive this product for review purposes. This did not persuade me into writing a good review. I really loved these, and know my fellow readers will too.
