I met them shortly after the simple plastic chopsticks that we had all been accustomed to for years disappeared. The paper ones we find everywhere now are not functional at all, as they bend even with just a glance! Bamboo chopsticks are obviously more expensive than the paper ones, but they have nothing to do with them... these ones actually do their job without being annoying to use! And not only that, but personally I liked them even more than the plastic ones, as they are more rigid and give a clearer sense of handling!

The cotton is well applied to the stick. It also has a satisfactory thickness. The sticks do not always have the same thickness, resulting in the very thin ones breaking easily. The sound of them breaking is not a particularly pleasant experience for the ear. I would not buy them again.

Do not buy plastic cotton swabs anymore, kids, bamboo ones have the same price. It is a nice product and the tips are thin enough for both ears and makeup details.

The wooden stick is harder than the plastic ones, and they don't bend when you use them. The cotton is wrapped very well and doesn't unravel.

I have been bothered for years that the chopsticks are made of plastic. I am old enough to remember that this was not always the case. I was so excited to find these and I will be a loyal customer!
