This is my third set of Friendsheep Dryer Balls and I can’t imagine NOT using them. Yes, they do wear out - after 5 or 6 years! And yes, that’s how long I have used them.
I hated using dryer sheets, putting all those chemicals in my clothes. So I started with those plastic knobby dryer balls, which quickly ruined some of my clothes.
And then I discovered Friendsheep. They work brilliantly to help dry your clothes, greatly reducing static.
And, more importantly, they are handmade by women & disabled people in Nepal, of organic, reusable, & recycled materials.
Yes, you can find knock-offs that are much cheaper, but I will never even consider using anything except Friendsheep Dryer Balls, and I recommend them to all of my family & friends.
