Cheap cotton buds with paper (rather than plastic) sticks?

Hi all

Superdrug seem to have discontinued these - shame as they seemed to be the only high street retailer selling a compostable variety.

Has anyone seen them for sale - cheaply - elsewhere?

You should write a letter to their head office and point that out.

I found some on ebay for £2.49 per 200, and postage was free. Cheapest I managed to find online and I'd had no luck in the shops, so I now have enough to last a long time

Hi,

Marks and Spencer do 200 fairtrade cotton buds with paper sticks for £1.50. Hope that helps

Dook - thanks for that suggestion.

Wrote to Superdrug, and this was their reply:

"We have discussed your enquiry with our Buying Team and unfortunately we no longer stock this product in our stores. We have however, passed your comments on for future review."

If anyone else feels like emailing/writing to Superdrug, perhaps they'll eventually change their ways!

I bought some organic cotton buds, with the paper sticks (so you can compost them) from Ethical Superstore.

Hope that helps!
