Irritation-Free Blue Balls!

These frisky little balls of fun are just dying to hop into your laundry and soften things up! If you love the fresh scent of a warm bundle of laundry, but find that the harsh fragrances used in many fabric softeners get your allergies raging, I highly recommend dryer balls. They last for load after load. Dryer balls are hypoallergenic, they reduce drying time, and they only cost $10!
Introducing blue balls everyone can appreciate. Even though they’re spiky, you’re gonna love ‘em. These little bouncers are environmentally-friendly, too! Not available in Kansas.

Don’t buy these things. They don’t work. I bought them at the LA fair. Waste of $20
Scott, interesting. A friend of mine swears by them, and I have liked them as well. The only bummer is that they don’t come in different colors
These work great! The oval ones work better and are a little quieter in the dryer.
They did overstate the marketing on these. The big advantage is that they work just as well as dryer sheets and last a long time. You aren’t throwing away sheets and adding chemicals to your clothes.
They overstated by trying to convince people they worked “better” than dryer sheets, which I think is a stretch.
Sara, I have seen them in pink and blue, but that’s your only color selection.
These are great for kids clothes because you aren’t putting chemicals on the clothes.

Thanks for the notes Randy! Do they reduce static the same way dryer sheets do? And when you say the oval ones work better….in what way do the regular ones fall short?
They do reduce static, but I don’t know how much in comparison to dryer sheets.
The big advantage with the oval ones is that they are much quieter in the drier (still loud, but quieter that the round ones). I didn’t mean to imply there was any other major difference.
I think they work really well. I’d just very sad because one of mine burst and now I only have one lonely little blue ball…
