I received a 6 pack of Woolzies Dryer Balls to review.
I was very interested to see if these would actually reduce drying time for both my diapers and regular laundry. I'm happy to report that they do! For a load of diapers in my front-loading dryer I set it on "Normal, More Dry". However, there's a sensor in the machine that tells the dryer to stop once it thinks the items are dry. When I check them, they're always still slightly damp and I'll reset the dryer to "time dry" for another 20 minutes or so. All of this usually takes about an hour. Since I've started using the Woolzies, the drying time has reduced to between 45-50 minutes. Those are the numbers for mainly microfiber diapers - when I dry natural fibers they do take a little longer but are still quicker with the Woolzies.
I have now converted to using Woolzies with all of our laundry. As recommended with baby laundry, we've never used dryer sheets when doing our son's laundry and I've always been annoyed with the static cling. Now, his laundry (and ours) comes out of the dryer soft and static free. By eliminating dryer sheets from our routine, we've cut out more chemicals from our lives and I'm loving it!
Another benefit for those that are sensitive to perfumes/scented dryer sheets - Woolzies smell like nothing at all. Your laundry will dry faster and be scent free.
Woolzies are now a permanent fixture in our dryer. We just leave the dryer balls in the dryer after each load, that way they're ready and waiting for the next one.
Win it: Woolzies is giving one lucky reader a 6 pack of their handmade wool dryer balls!. Open WORLDWIDE and ends on 1/29 at midnight. Good Luck!

Loving that these are natural, not just for babies, but also for those of us who deal with very sensitive skin. Seems the older I get the more sensitive I am. I'll be on the lookout to purchase these! Thanks!
