How do They Work?

The Dryer Eggs work by separating your laundry so that air can circulate more freely and thus speeds up your dry time. The bumps or 'nodules' on the eggs are designed to soften your clothes without the need for fabric softener.

My Experience

I've been trying to avoid using the dryer especially with the cost of living climbing up day-by-day but I have been missing the super soft and fluffy towels that I'm used to!

I wanted an alternative that meant I could still fluff up my sheets and towels without using too much energy running my dryer. Enter ecoeggs! These little eggs help to cut dry time and leave my towels fluffy and soft all while leaving a beautiful fresh linen scent.

The option to be able to choose a scent stick to insert into your egg or use them scentless is a fabulous idea and cuts out the need for dryer sheets.

If you're like me and use your tumble dryer to soften up your clothes then I definitely recommend giving these dryer eggs a try, I'm already thinking about testing out their laundry eggs too!
