If these are the new paper stick type then I don't think it's a good deal, better off with supermarket own brand buds for similar or cheaper price

Agreed the new paper ones are terrible and in my opinion dangerous as they bend far too easily

Just checked the reviews and going by the most recent reviews they are the paper ones even though the pic is of the plastic ones. Hope that's helpful to you all :thumbsup:

The new ones are rubbish

Thanks Natz265 - ordered. :smile:

Most retailers have committed to switching from plastic to paper in their own brand cotton buds by the end of 2017. The change is to prevent buds ending up on the beaches after being flushed down the toilet.

I haven`t tried the newer style yet. I don't mind Superdrug ones but thought these were a great price for the branded ones. Its a shame retailers have had to change what was a good product to a poorer one just because of people flushing them when they shouldn't.

Bloody morons who flushed the plastic one's down the toilet ruined it for everyone.

I agree. The new design is actually more dangerous as you cannot control how far & where the buds will hit!

Won't be buying after my next boxes are finished.

Surely the 'boffins' at J&J tested these...i.e used real humans with hands to test in ears etc etc?
