Hi Dixie; Someone on one of the lists that I am on, can't remember, so can't give credit to who told about these pellets, said to get the Polypellets that are made by poly fil. These pellets are small, and a translucent white. You get them at Wal-Mart for under $3.00 for 2 pounds. I got a package, but haven't used them yet, but the gal who told about them, said that they are the same that the suppliers are selling for quite a bit more. They are used to fill dolls etc. The Wal-Mart store that I go to had them in with the craft things, not with the pillow stuffing. Hope this helps you.

Guest guest Posted October 7, 2004 Report Share Posted October 7, 2004 I think it was me that had posted that, and it was based on what someone told me. But, I found out that they don't work well (finally tried it myself) and had actually be corrected by someone during that conversation string. So, don't waste time on the polypellets and my apologies. I did some research and found one manufacturer/distributor. The ones that the suppliers have been selling are a polymer that is specifically designed to absorb large volumes of oils relative to their weight. There are also a couple of other " styles " of these, but no one seems to be carrying them. They also come in " puffs " , chips and powder form.

Guest guest Posted October 7, 2004 Report Share Posted October 7, 2004 I've heard that the Polypellets are NOT the same as the scenteable ones.. You might want to research it a bit before buying.

Guest guest Posted October 7, 2004 Report Share Posted October 7, 2004 Not the same at all! They look identical, but poly pelllets are hard and don't absorb the FO's! Aroma pellets are kinda squishy and suck up the oils! Trust me I know!!! i have been through this!!! :0) HTH!
