Swisspers Cotton Balls, Jumbo Plus Review

It would seem that most cotton balls are created equal, but that is not the case when it comes to Swisspers Cotton Balls, Jumbo Plus.  

There are 140 marshmallow-sized cotton balls in every jumbo bag. Unlike other generic cotton balls on the market, Swisspers are made from 100% pure natural cotton. I find them to be softer than the synthetic cheapie stuff I buy at the Dollar Store.

I use the jumbo plus-sized cotton balls for applying toners, removing eye makeup, moisturizing my cuticles, and removing fingernail polish. Although I've never had any problem with lint, I have noticed that some of the cotton balls "beard" a little because they are not tightly compressed. I'm not sure how to describe it better than that, but if you are a quilter and work with cotton batting, you probably know what I mean. But it's not a big deal because it doesn't impair the performance of the product.

Even with the occasional ball that is a little "off", the majority of the bag of Swisspers offered a seemingly endless supply of cushy cotton balls. They absorb well, and apply lotions and oils equally well.

Swisspers Jumbo Plus Cotton Balls might actually be too much of a good thing. They are so large that sometimes I'm tempted to cut one in half so as not to be wasteful. I'll probably continue to keep a bag of Swisspers Supreme Cotton Rounds on hand for times when I don't need quite so much cotton.

Overall, Swisspers Cotton Balls are a great buy for a quality product. I purchase mine from Drugstore.com because they usually have Buy One Get One deals.
