When I need cotton balls, I don’t want 250 of them.

I don’t even want 100 of them. I want like 10 to 25 max. But nooooooo.
Anyway, I have 92 cotton balls if anyone wants them.
If not they’ll get put underneath my bathroom sink and I’ll throw them out in 2 years.

@MsSwan ask your cat if it wants my cotton balls
I let my daughter make Christmas crafts with them. Makes good snowman stuff and santa beards 😁

@Bexsy I am giggling at the thought of dropping them off at my sister’s so my nephew can use them. He will take anything people don’t want. I’ve watched my sister try to convince him he doesn’t have a use for an empty plastic jug
@itsok you must! These cotton balls are in need of a home lol

You can use them with nail polish remover, or with essential oils to make ur house smell nicer. Or just make one stuffed toy

@greensnacks paper towels seem easier for nail polish. The 8 I used were with essential oils

@itsok You are stealing my lines! How will the Princess know I am trying to woo her? 🤨

There's a bag like that in my bathroom sink cabinet. Purchased 13 years ago. There's no expiration date on it so I assume they are still edible.

time for a wardrobe upgrade for the dogs!

@thepreposterouspanda I love it oh my gosh
Alibaba strikes again.

To get the volume discount, you've got to agree to a shipping container.

Willing to swap 1 box of rubbing alcohol for a bag of cotton balls, for the first aid cabinet.
@itsok Deal.
Will have it on your lawn tomorrow.🤭

@SethGreene531 are you covering shipping costs 👀
@itsok It's all good; I know a guy with a truck.
He'll just need food and lodging covered, on the crossing 🚢

Just use them for removing make up also good for cleaning cat or dog ears. 😛
itsok · 31-35, F
@Wallflow3r I don’t like how stringy they are for that. The cotton rounds are better, but I usually use wipes
I just bought a bag. It'll last me for ever.

@Spoiledbrat I’m writing these cotton balls into my will
@itsok I use them take my mascara off but I don't wear it every day so a bag will last me for years.

Why so many
itsok · 31-35, F
@deadgerbil I walked out of a store this afternoon because the smallest pack they had was 250 and I thought absolutely not. I found a pack of 100 elsewhere but I only needed 8. You can have the rest for your crafts
deadgerbil · 26-30
@itsok this is a problem you read about in math books
They are great to spray with perfume or put a few drops of scented oil on, (like a few of them) wrap in a tisssue, tie with....whatever, (rubber band, old hair tie, bread clip, string etc), and put in your drawers to scent your clothes.
Or use clove oil or peppermint or eucalyptus oil, and place in kitchen cupboards to deter pests.

@OogieBoogie that’s what I wanted them for. I did 8 with peppermint essential oil

Im curious How do you remove your makeup 👀 ? I use them a lot with my micellar water .
itsok · 31-35, F
@SW-User I use the belif makeup remover, and I’ll either just use my hands to rub it in and rinse and follow with a cleanser, or I’ll use the neutrogena hydro boost wipes with the remover. I’ve used the cotton rounds plenty in the past, but not the cotton balls. If you saturate the whole cotton ball it uses so much product and you still only get a very small surface area to wipe your face.

@itsok That’s smart.
itsok · 31-35, F
@SW-User try the flat rounds, they’re slightly more expensive but you’ll end up saving more using less micellar water

@rinkydinkydoink those are fighting words, squiddlydoink. Put ‘em up
pancakeslam · 41-45, M
I don't know what they're for. cleaning your ears?
itsok · 31-35, F

pancakeslam · 41-45, M
@itsok OK just be gentle. Not too deep. 😑
