Anyone knows where to buy peaches and creme? Or do they even sell it here in canada?

I havent been to walmart and looked for it because im not sure which department it is.

I've looked at the walmart canada website and I couldnt find it there either, all they have for cotton yarn is this.

michael's , walmart , dollarama (cotton balls)

Thanks guys, i really havent started doing rba's since im still waiting on the products that i ordered but i keep on doing research and trying to know everything that i can before hand.

I have no idea what type of cotton or what cotton are "safe" to use, i just go by whatever people recommend or i see them use, apparently peaches and creme cotton is getting really popular now and i've heard the cotton that the girls use to remove their make up is good too. But yeah thanks for your replies.

I don't live in Canada, but I can tell you what I use here.
I buy the organic cotton balls in the drug store that I find in the makeup area of the store.
I boil it twice in DISTILLED water twice for 20 minutes each time, changing the water between boils.
I then lay it out on a piece of SS mesh that I place over a pot. This give the cotton balls air on all sides. I let it set for a couple of days until I am sure it is completely dry in the center. I also do the same thing with Peaches and Cream (which is just 100% cotton yarn).
I first tried using tap water and did not like the taste I got from it. I think the tap water leaves the chemicals from treating the water and minerals in the cotton in High amounts.

You want to use organic cotton balls or yarn. Reason being non organic can contain traces of pesticides, dyes and bleach. Organic still has to be boiled as it's been treated with peroxide. Boil twice for 15 minutes- when emptying the water pour out with the cotton/ yarn in the pot otherwise you'll pull the cotton thru the contaminated water on the surface. Hard to find organic cotton up here but pharmacies carry organic cotton balls. Could also buy some organic hemp from Michaels- in the bracelet section.

Edit: You could also buy USP Cotton gauze at the pharmacy.
