No More Dryer Sheets!
I fell in love with Nellie's detergent, so I wanted to try these as well.
These work well, they fluff clothes nicely. They are especially good for towels and sheets.
I knocked off one star because a couple of the little nubs have come off. If anymore come off, I'm going to contact Nellie's directly because they do have a one year warranty on these.
Regardless, I will never go back to dryer sheets - I like just keeping these in the dryer for each load. My clothes are also softer, and don't have a film like sometimes dryer sheets would give them.
FYI, these don't get rid of static. To diminish that, I put vinegar in the wash rinse and put a ball of tin foil in with the dryer balls and it'll cut down on the static.

Good Buy
These dryer balls are good, they are quiter than most. The balls by them selves are great, but the sticks that go inside are not.
They say one stick lasts I think 15 loads mine were gone after two loads!

Use Tennis Balls Instead
Tennis balls provide the same fluffed action that these provide but without the scent which irritate my skin.

Nellie's Dryer Balls
I really like not using the fabric throwaways as they irritate my skin. The Dryer Balls are just great they fluff the towels and don't require much attention. They work just as advertised. Lavender is a calming scent and makes your laundry smell good.

Sadly disappointed
I was so excited to try these, but found their faults in the first round of laundry. We have a Maytag Atlantis dryer, and the spiked rows of the dryer balls get wedged into the thin ring in the back of the dryer which allows the drum to spin. The clothes eventually knock the balls loose, but I can hear the screatching of rubber on metal, and the spiked rows are wearing down quickly.
But the most disappointing is that we don't even notice a hint of the lavender scent from the sticks we bought to go inside the balls.
As for reducing wrinkles, I've found no difference in my husband's slacks or dress shirts.
The one teeny tiny saving grace is that they may reduce the drying time by a couple of minutes. But our dryer is really efficient anyway, so hard to say.
I bought the balls and sticks in separate packages, so overall I wasted $30 on this experiment. : (
