I was feeling so bad thinking how much plastic I was disposing with my cotton tips, but now whit this Bamboo wooden buds I dont have to worried anymore and they work perfect! So ideally, I have purple on the left, tan on the right and I dont hear either freight train (for the most part)! But I can rate them on looks and size. Was very pleased with The color and the print on this blanket. Even though the description and photo says its only appropriate for cartilage piercing. My left foot is a size 10. Some of the other reviews complaining about the sound not being the best, well they are only 8$ not 80$ they are great for the price. Then why not, just order a pair and give it a try. I bought these a year ago and originally I liked them! When placed against the wall, the hanging bar doesn?t allow enough space for hangers to hang strait, even smaller adult hangers.
