I used to use those until I found a couple of the "nubs" in my dryer.  So now I use the wool dryer balls instead.

My husband uses the wool dryer balls too, he's the master when it comes to laundry.

How was the sound of the cycle with the balls bouncing inside? Maybe it wasn't so bad with a large blanket. I live in a one-bedroom apartment and the washer and dryer are not far from the couch where I watch TV or read, so I'm concerned about the sound. I've been considering some of the wool dryer balls, since they may be a little quieter.

@Alison Wonderland    I didn't hear a thing.  I think the blanket muffled the sound.  I can understand why the balls would need to be replaced on a regular basis with the heat and beating they take.

It's my understanding that the wool balls are supposed to cut down on static electricity and the hard ball to fluff.  I've also used tennis balls but they weren't as effective.

I use tennis balls when drying comforters, pillows, or down coats. I am curious about the balls you are discussing, especially towels. Do they contain any softener or is it strictly the ball and its structure?
