The average person uses 415 disposable cotton swabs every year! Traditional cotton swabs, buds, and q-tips are made from plastic and contribute to deforestation, harming our environment and wildlife.

Our cotton swabs are made from bamboo, one of the fastest growing plants on the planet, and are a more sustainable option!

Each pack comes with 200 bamboo cotton buds

Women Owned
This brand is owned by a majority of women. This includes everything from a small one-woman shop to a larger company where more than 51% of women make up the ownership team.

Bamboo
As a member of the grass family, bamboo is one of the fastest growing plants on earth. It requires no irrigation, pesticides or fertilizers to grow, and can be harvested within 3-5 years, as compared to approximately 30+ years for traditional hardwoods. Bamboo is extremely adaptable and produces more oxygen per acre than large tree species, while using a fraction of the water to grow. Its durable and lightweight qualities make bamboo a great alternative for hard wood products!

These biodegradable cotton buds feature bamboo sticks and compostable packaging. Customers praised the eco-friendly design, saying they're "backyard compostable" and "sturdy." Most found them high quality and durable, though slightly expensive. One concern noted: insufficient cotton padding affecting absorbency.

Love these-strong and gentle at the same time

The cotton buds are pretty straightforward, I love the amount of them that are included. I put them in a small mason jar to store them and they’re aesthetically pleasing to any of my guests

Swapping out Q-Tips

The bamboo cotton buds are soft yet durable. I have used them in my makeup routine, cleaning, and crafts, and they work great for all of those uses.

Cotton Buds

This is my second purchase of the cotton buds. The cotton bud is thick and soft. Very absorbant. Like all Upcircle products you feel like you are doing your bit for the environment. I can highly recommend this product.

I actually like these bamboo buds better than Q-tips

I was curious about these cotton buds on a stick so I gave them a try. They work great for me so far. I dip the buds in alcohol to help dry out the water that gets trapped in my ears after showering per my ENT recommendation. Grew up with numerous ear infections because of the canal shape inside my ears. No I do not stick them in far at all. Just enough to let the alcohol help dry them some. Haven't had an ear infection since I was 22 and I'm 51 now. I tried them out for makeup application, put ointment on a cut, cleaned little tight crevices of my Keurig, and many other tasks I was able to use them for. Really like that these don't leave lint or little balls of cotton behind like the Q-tips do. That's always been a big problem for me with those. Another thing I noticed is that the Bamboo Buds don't give way to bending when wet. When I'm done with the Bamboo Buds I toss them into my Bamboozle kitchen compost pail. These travel so much better than the other too. The kraft paper container is super sturdy and when the buds are all gone I can reuse the container to store something in it, make a craft with it, wrap a small gift in it, recycle it, compost it, or put some dirt in it, a seed, and start growing a flower or something. Got them on subscription so I can get them at a nice discount whenever I need them.

These cotton buds are less fluffy than normal store bought ones but they hold up well and I feel better about not using ones that have plastic in them.

great sustainable alternative

Work great. Can snap if too much pressure is applied and a bit stiff. But overall a good sustainable alternative

Great Cotton Buds!

We loved these cotton buds! The size and shape of the cotton is perfect, and the bamboo is strong whereas we've had other brands break easily. There are still a small amount that break, but it's not from gentle use. Also, the amount sent for the price is also more than competitors! Will order again!

they get the job done for the most part but the stick isn't sturdy/bendy enough and often breaks in half way more than a typical cotton swab

Sustainable Cleaning

I tried a reusable ear cleaner and it just wasn't for me. I've used regular cotton swabs and they are fragile while also not being a good option. I've been using these bamboo cotton buds for a few years now and really love them! Great quality, great eco- friendly alternative and the subscription makes it so easy to stay stocked up!

Not sure what to say: they’re cotton buds. Can’t live without them. Well packaged, sensibly sized box. Good price. Cotton wool bit doesn’t fall off . They do important things in my make up routine. Indispensable

very useful

These cotton buds are rigid as they have the bamboo centre and much better than paper ones
