Amazon Basics Cotton Balls 200ct Reviews Summary

Size

Pros:

• "The size was just about right for my need."
• "These cotton balls are very thick and durable. These balls are strong and will not fall apart."
• "They’re large so sometimes I do just rip them in half but they work great, are durable, soft, and exactly what I needed."
• "The cotton balls are indeed large. I have bought cotton balls at the drug store and they are about as large as the tip of my index finger. No use what so ever. The amazon basics ones are larger and when taking off nail polish they hold lots of remover. Very good. Will buy again."
• "Nice, large, absorbent cotton balls. Just what I wanted."
• "These are good sized for cotton balls, really sturdy."
• "I use them with alcohol for small cuts or abrasions and they don’t fall apart when saturated. Larger than usual and have a resealable closure that actually works. Good deal."

Cons:

• "These cotton balls are actually smaller than the regular sized cotton balls I have from the big box store."
• "Good quality but too small in size. It does not reflect the description as Triple Size. I was expecting a much bigger size (as shown on the picture)."
• "These are supposed to be triple size, they are no bigger that the standard size cotton balls."
• "These were advertised as triple sized. They are not in the least! Very small."
• "I am so disappointed!!!! The description said triple size, but that’s a lie. These are the smallest cotton balls."
• "They are small. I'd say maybe an inch if that."
• "I expected a lot when I ordered these and now I am stuck with them. They are super small, definitely not triple sized as described."

Quality

Pros:

• "First off, these cotton balls are actually pretty well constructed and don't fall apart like other ones do."
• "They also seem well made, meaning the cotton doesn't just pull off of them easily."
• "These cotton balls are great quality, as are most cotton balls. No need to spend on a 'brand' of them when Amazon offers such a great basic brand."
• "Nice cotton balls. They’re a good size and absorb well."
• "They are soft, gentle, and exactly what I expect from a high-quality cotton product."
• "These cotton balls are better than the most expensive brand out there. They are thick and cushiony."
• "Cotton balls are soft and absorb well."

Cons:

• "I have used other Solimo branded items but this one doesn’t stand up to other brands."
• "The cotton balls are very small and don’t hold together very well."
• "Not a consistent product in each bag. I had some cotton balls so densely packed they scratched my face while others were nothing but a little piece of fluff."
• "These cotton balls work great! I have used them to take nail polish off as well as eye make up. They are very soft but absorbed the remover without getting too wet."
• "I have no clue how but every single cotton ball has sharp specs in it that really, really hurt when you rub it into your skin."
• "I bought these after reading so many good reviews... But these are the worst cotton balls ever! They fray and fall apart easily when used and what's worse is that they are already falling apart right out of the bag."
• "These cotton balls are crunchy and very synthetic feeling."

Price

Pros:

• "And the best part? They won't leave a dent in your wallet. These cotton balls are reasonably priced."
• "Good for the money."
• "I'm seriously impressed with these Cotton Balls! They're soft, absorbent, and perfectly sized for all my needs... They're ridiculously affordable!"
• "Good buy! It’s a great quality cotton ball."
• "These meet my requirements, and with the low price, I have zero complaints."
• "Price is very good for what you get."
• "For just a few dollars a 200 count bag will last me half the year."

Cons:

• "So for the price, not a value."
• "I only had ordered these based on website description of ‘triple’ or ‘jumbo’ size. Disappointed to find they’re nothing of the sort."
• "They work well but my biggest complaint is that they are too rough."
• "These are not worth purchasing."
• "I bought these to get my order to the required minimum for free shipping. Otherwise, I wouldn' t have considered them, due to the price, which is more than in all the stores where I buy these. But, you get more cotton balls in this bag than in the store."
• "Why are reviewers saying these are so great?! These are the smallest cotton balls I have ever purchased- Why are they allowed to say Triple Size & Super Jumbo??!!"
• "These may be good for some uses but didn't suit my purpose. I bought these to remove nail polish and they fall apart easily and stick to nails."

Packaging

Pros:

• "The eco-friendly resealable packaging keeps the cotton balls fresh and hygienic."
• "The packaging itself is practical and resealable, ensuring the cotton balls stay clean and hygienic."
• "It is exactly as described but I want to point out that something unexpected was that the bag it comes in is resealable."
• "They are consistently of high quality and have always come packaged in a nice plastic bag."
• "The bag is actually bigger than I expected."
• "Worked well for many things including removal of make up, treating scratches etc and the bag was completely full of cotton balls."
• "I liked the convenience of having the cotton balls shipped to me."
