Forgo fabric softener altogether for these "dryer balls" that work the same way as fabric softeners or dryer sheets . . . except that you use them again and again and again. No wasted paper. No chemical additives. Even better, these balls will reduce the time your laundry has to spend in the dryer by approximately 25 percent.

I love these balls, as you don't have to keep buying dryer sheets. They don't have a fragarence that might cause asthma attacks, and they do soften even rough towels!

I love these dryer balls. I got them as a Christmas gift (my family knows my eco-friendly nature) and have used them tons. I feel so much better knowing that my clean clothes aren't laden with chemicals from my dryer sheets anymore. Not to mention the waste those single-use sheets produce. Even liquid fabric softener is mostly chemicals. Who wants to put on a clean shirt and have to think about which chemicals they are absorbing through their skin that day, anyways?

"As your wet laundry tumbles in the dryer, these bumpy balls lift and separate fabric to make it soft and fluffy, and allow air to flow more efficiently. Proven to make ironing easier, decrease lint and reduce drying time up to 25% in independent testing."
