7 months later-- still fantastic!
I've had my Wool Dryer Balls for 7 months now and they are holding up great!
I live in Los Angeles, so my apartment only offers coin laundry, so every quarter counts. These balls have saved me a lot of dollars thus far! They allow my clothes to dry way faster than previously with dryer sheets, which is awesome because laundry prices keep going up in my building!
The balls are pretty big as you can see from the photo. They are larger than a tennis ball, but smaller than a softball. I almost always am doing a XL load so I always use all 6 of them in the dryer at once. Since the wool is unscented, I like to add a little boost of lavender. If you are into essential oils-- I definitely recommend you put a drop on each ball, leaves my clothes and the entire laundry room smelling fantastic. This is another reason why I would find it difficult to go back to using just dryer sheets -- I am allergic to a lot of perfumes, so adding my own scent from essential oils works in my favor.
So far I'm not having any issues with the wool unraveling. As far as I can tell they are high-quality. Would recommend to anyone.
