As you know I've used wool dryer balls before (and still do!) The chemicals in the commercial fabric softener sheets are so bad, I won't go into detail here this time but I'd encourage you to research it. They are filled with many toxic chemicals for your body. Yuck!
Anyway, these new dryer balls - Woolzies, that I'm talking about today are great! They are 100% natural and have no dyes or fragrances. My family has sensitivities to chemicals and fragrances so this is always a big plus. These balls are about the size of your palm, though because they are hand made each ball differs just slightly from the other.
I already had 4 dryer balls in my dryer before adding the 6 woolzies I got. Adding 6 more to my dryer has made a rather big difference in both the drying time and the amount of static in the dried clothes. :) I haven't noticed a huge difference in the time but I know that these dryer balls will make a huge difference in the amount of time is takes to dry clothes. It's just that my dryer doesn't work well and I need to replace it sometime. It roughly would take 110 minutes to dry 1 regular sized load with just my 4 dryer balls but now with the additional 6 it's only taking about 80 minutes to dry a load. This is great because to get 110 minutes on my dryer I would have to reset the dryer, and if you are a mom you know how much a pain that can be as you just forget about it too easily! :)
Dryer balls are great with cloth diapers (if you dry them in the dryer). The best part about dryer balls with cloth diapers is the fact that the drying time is cut back so much helping keep the wear and tear of the dryer down on your diapers. : ) You can read about the way I wash my diapers here.
These balls are made very well and will last a very long time with regular use. They are guaranteed to last 1,000 loads or your money back! They are firm yet soft and are not loud in the dryer at all as it spins around and around. My boys love when I do the laundry and to find all the balls and then through them back into the dryer. Sometimes they try to take them away and play with them but they are starting to understand that these are mommies balls and aren't play balls. : )

I use some that I made but would love to add more to my dryer!
I've not used dryer balls before. I'd not even heard of them until a friend talked about using them when drying her cloth diapers. I'd like to try them out!

I have never used dryer balls before.
I have never used dryer balls before but know a couple of people that have. I'm hoping that they reduce static in my clothes and shorten the drying time.
I haven't tried them, yet, but would love to since they are chemical free!
I like that you can use them with cloth diapers!
Ive made my own, Id love to try some others.
I have yet to try dryerballs but would love to try some

Never used them, but would love to try! I don't like the chemicals in dryer sheets and would like a better alternative :)
I've been wanting to try these. It sounds like a really interesting way to save money and be healthier at the same time.
I have never used them but have been wanting to try them for years! I would love to try them. :)
I have never used them, but found a tutorial recently to make them. I am interested because they are supposed to lesson dryer time.
I have heard so much about dryer balls, and I'm excited to try them! From what I've read, it seems like they save a lot of drying time. As a cloth diaper user, I do quite a bit of laundry each week. These would be great :)
I use dryer balls and love them. I think that they fluff my laundry nicely and I am always surprised at how quickly things dry! I would love to have some more though to speed up drying time even more.
These look really interesting!
I would love to give these a try. I saw them at a convention once and have wished I would have purchased some ever since!

I use a different brand and enjoy not adding chemicals to our laundry or the air outside.
I have not used wool dryer balls yet, but faster drying times and no need for fabric softener makes me excited to win~!
i want to use them with drying my cloth diapers!
I love that they don't use all the chemicals and that you can use them with cloth diapers. WE have some and love them. So easy and last so long
I have and I love them! No more need for dryer sheets and it cuts down on dry time
Currently have three and would like some more to decrease the drying time and static.
Yes, I love my dryer balls. I found out that regular dryer sheets have chemicals and animal fat in them which grossed me out. I have used my dryer balls so much they have shrunk considerably, so I will need to replace them soon.
I have never used them but Id love to see if they really cut down on dry time.
I use dryer balls in my laundry to avoid chemicals. My sister uses dryer balls with her diapers, but she could use more.
I have used dryer balls before (I'm currently using some), but I've never tried Woolzies, so I'd like to see how they compare. I'm also starting to have some static issues with the current wool dryer balls that I have, so trying another brand might be worthwhile.
I haven't used them, but I'd love to reduce drying time!
I have a set of Woolzies and love them! I need another set though b/c my toddler keeps sneaking them away to play with.
I have a set of Woolzies and would love another set.
I would like to see if wool dryer balls could cut down on my drying time.
I have used them before, but I only have three. Would love more to help cut drying time.
I have some woolzies and I'm hoping to win another set since my dryer loads are so big!
I do use wool dryer balls and absolutely love them!
I never use fabric softener or dryer sheets. I prefer doing things the natural way.
Our dryer is ancient and takes forever to dry! Would love to reduce drying time as naturally as possible!
I just started using them and need more!
i use them and love them. i like that they are natural
I have used dryer balls! Well, I used one legit one, and a couple home made ones (by me) that fell apart. We cloth diaper and cut out fabric softener before we started, so I'd love to have a natural fabric softener. Plus, I would love to cut our drying time down!
Just started to use them but need more!
I've been using dryer balls, but mine finally fell apart and I REALLY need new ones! This would be a huge blessing for me right now!
I have not tried the dryer balls yet. My family has a reaction every time I use dryer sheets, so I have been looking for an alternative.
I've never used them, but I want to see if they really cut drying time. Thanks!

I haven't used them before, but would like to. I really like the idea of replacing my dryer sheets...less waste and no chemicals!
I have never used dryer balls, but I would like to try them.
I had a few, but we left them in my dryer when we moved! :(
I've used plastic dryer balls in the past, but they fell apart and I worry about chemicals in the heat! I'd love to try wool ones to cut my drying time.
No have not used them but would like to because there's no chemicals
I currently use dryer sheets, but I would love to try woolzies because they are reusable and cut down on drying time!
I don't have dryer balls but would love to try them to get rid of static cling!
I've tried wool dryer balls before, and love them, however they started to wear and come apart. I suspect they were either not wrapped tight enough, or not felted completely.
I have never used them before, but I am excited to try!
I love my wool dryer balls! I like the idea of saving money every time I put them in my dryer.
This would be my first time using wool dryer balls. My mom uses dryer sheets but i'm going to try to get her to switch so that I can use the dryer for my cloth diapers!
I have never tried wool dryer balls. I really want to though! I usually have to run diapers through dryer twice, so I would love to cut that down to just once by using dryer balls!
I've not used them, but we intend to cloth diaper and I hear they're great for that...plus saving on fabric softener!!
I've never used dryer balls before but I would be interested in using them to save some money!

I just recently started using wool balls and I LOVE them! If I won these I would give them to my FIL. He was asking us questions the other day and seemed very interested in trying them too.
I have never used Dryer balls but they seem like they'd be great to speed up the drying of my cloth diapers since I never have a full load to keep things moving
I've never used dryer balls but I hear they're great and cut down on the drying time. That's a plus in my book!
I haven't tried dryer balls but would love to try them. Our dryer takes forever so maybe these would speed up the process!
I just started using them and am a big fan
I haven't tried them yet, but am interested because of the reduced drying time.
I would love to try to use one. Haven't yet.
I've used dryer balls. I love how much they cut down on drying time... And little guy loves playing with them and hiding them!

I have always wanted some of these! I would love to cut down on drying time.
Would love to try these.
I would like to try them because our cloth diapers take forever to dry and I would like them to come out a little softer
I haven't used them yet but I really want to. I'd love it if all of my diapers would dry on one cycle!
I've never used them but have wanted to try them since I first heard of them. I'm most interested in using them to reduce the dry time on my cloth diapers.
I have made some of my own dryer balls they do seem to reduce drying time, but not static. I have used them to reduce drying time in the winter when line drying is not an option. My homemade ones pill up and need to be felted again. I would love to try professional made to see if they do reduce static
i have never used them but want to! Ever since we stopped using fabric softener, my clothes have so much static!
I use them. I made my own, but they are unraveling one by one! I like that they reduce drying time though.
I've never used dryer balls before, but I'd like to try them. I'm sensitive to any type of fragrance in laundry products, so I think this would be a great alternative to fabric softener for me.
I haven't tried dryer balls, but would like to, as I'm sensitive to scented fabric softeners.
Yes I love thm. They save money
I have used them before. I like them.
I have never tried wool dryer balls, but they sound wonerful
I haven't tried them yet but I'm more and more curious. I just skip the fabric softener to avoid the perfumes and chemicals but these seem like a perfect alternative! :)
Just starting using them this month, would love to have a few more!
yes I have, and I love them! I love how they negate the need for any fabric softeners on all laundry!
I've never tried theme before but I would loveee to see how wonderful they are for my cloth diapers!

I made a couple of homemade balls. I like that they reduce static

I've never used dryer balls but am interested to see if they really work.
I love dryer balls. They really do help speed drying time. Especially with my cloth diapers.
I made some dryer balls once and I thought they worked ok. I only had two though and I hear the more the better. I really want to cloth diaper my next baby though so I know that dryer sheets is not an option for that. I will most likely be switching to all dryer balls when that happens.
I have used dryer balls before, ones I have made myself. I couldn't get mine as tight and felted as they should be so I think they are a little light. I think they are perfect for cloth dipes to keep them soft and to decrease drying time. I would love to try some that are made correctly :)
I haven't tried them but would love to try them to reduce drying time

I love dryer balls. We have 9 but they seem to vanish all the time, not sure if I should blame the dogs or the toddler or the crawling baby.
