Nine Months & Beyond Doula Wool Dryer Ball Review and Giveaway **CLOSED**

Congrats to Beverly, comment #3, and Jessica, comment #24. You won! Enjoy your dryer balls!!

I've reached over 300 fans on my Facebook page, so in celebration, I'm posting my review and giveaway of wool dryer balls by Nine Months & Beyond Doula!

I have never used a wool dryer ball before. I hadn't even heard of them until about 2 months ago! I have been using fabric softener for most of my loads of clothes, except for my daughter's clothing. Lately I have started to notice an almost sticky-like covering on my clothes when I take them out of the dryer. It was really starting to bug me, so I decided I wanted to try going the natural way of fabric softeners and use wool dryer balls.

Krystal at Nine Months & Beyond Doula was nice enough to send me 2 dryer balls to try out: one blue, one green. I was very happy to see, when the balls arrived, that she had posted the instructions and information about using the dryer balls right on the package.  This is what she says about them:

reduces drying time and the amount of static cling
naturally softens clothing and fabrics
no harmful chemicals to worry about
wool doesn't harbour bacteria
lasts years
are cloth diaper safe
don't leave in damp laundry for extended periods of time or with hook and Velcro

So, testing time--do they really work? I've washed them with jeans, towels, bedding, baby clothes, regular clothes and had great results with each load! I've been able to shorten each load in the dryer by about 10 minutes each! Not only that, but now I don't have that sticky feeling on my clothes when they come out of they dryer, yet they are still soft! Plus, I never wanted to use the softener with my baby's clothes, but now she gets to have soft clothes too! I have read that the more dryer balls you have, the better they work. I'm planning on purchasing a few more soon to make my laundry time even better!

The people at Nine Months & Beyond Doula have generously offered to let TWO of my readers each win a set of dryer balls. One person will win an undyed set, the other a dyed set.
