Guide Review - Totally Toddler Laundry Dryer Balls
The Totally Toddler Dryer Ball is not noticeably different from any other studded dryer ball. They are non-toxic and do provide chemical free fabric softening so they provide that benefit for a baby's sensitive skin. There marketing is geared towards use for young children, but every one's clothes will benefit. As well as you power bill.
In a non-so-scientifically controlled experiment the dryer balls reduced my drying time by about 20%. That's where the ergonomics come in. They make the system more efficient and reduce cost (so they will eventually pay for them self). They also reduce the time difference between drying and washing clothes making a long day of laundry service pass much faster.
Probably the best part about the dryer balls is that you don't have to do anything and they increase efficiency. Just leave them in the dryer no matter what you are drying. They will last for years and you will receive the benefit.
