Sometimes quick wins seem to have been gained in the war against plastic. One minute plastic stemmed cotton wool buds were there, the next they weren't. The plastic variety were cheap but I haven't found paper stemmed versions - which have largely replaced them - any more expensive.
Some people have felt that paper stemmed cotton buds weren't sufficiently robust. If this is you, you will find this pack of 200 bamboo stemmed cotton buds in a recyclable kraft card dispenser pack has stronger stems that won't bend. They're not flexible which may matter to you. Cotton buds appear to be used for a myriad of purposes from cleaning out ears to model making - and everything in between.
These Divchi cotton buds work well and have a decent amount of 'bud' at either end. Bamboo is sustainable and biodegradable, so eco-friendly. However, the £5.99 asking price at time of writing is a little steep, hence the deduction of one star.
