“I use these biodegradable cotton swabs for everything – and I mean EVERYTHING!” – Emma W

Traditional ear swabs are often used for 5 seconds, but with plastic handles, can stick around on our planet for 500+ years! Unlike plastic swabs, these biodegradable cotton swabs are made completely from biodegradable and compostable materials (organic bamboo + cotton) that easily break down without harming our planet. 

A staple for any zero-waste bathroom, these 200 high-quality biodegradable swabs make an excellent, sustainable alternative to plastic buds.

So glad I found these

These are soft and durable, so much better than the plastic store-bought ones I used before. The packaging is fantastic, I love the box they come in - so convenient!

Sturdier and softer than the plastic cotton swabs! I compost them and it's nice to make a small change that has a much bigger impact!

Excellent

So grateful these exist. They’re the real deal. I bought several boxes to hold me up for months to come.

Not so great

For me, these were not so great. I have tried many ecoroots items and these were a bit of a let down. Other cotton swabs on the market are also compostable, but their packaging is not recyclable. For that reason, I was excited to try these. Not sure if it was just our batch, but my family ended up composting almost all of them because probably 1 out of 4 times when we'd go to use one, we had the stick splinter or break, several times in our ears. We were not pressing hard. This was not a great experience for us especially when they broke in our ears. I'd say that the concept is awesome, the cotton swab end was just right, but the stick felt a bit risky for us to use. Still love ecoroots.
