I don't boil my cotton; some do, some don't, it's a matter of taste. I use RiteAid organic cotton myself and I don't boil it first. Yes, the CVS rolled cotton will be perfectly safe to use without boiling first.
I've tried it both ways and can't tell any difference. I quit bothering with boiling months ago.

You want organic cotton not Sterile cotton they use bleach to whiten and clean sterile cotton. Just a FYI
I don't boil my organic cotton
I don't boil my organic cotton
From what I've read the sterile cotton doesn't need to be boiled, but then I am assuming if it's white it's been bleached so maybe it does.
I ran all over town to find organic cotton because that's the big buzz online. I found a big bag at CVS and was psyched. I got home and was reading a post talking about bleach or hydrogen peroxide being used by companies to make the cotton white. Sure enough my bag says it's been bleached with hydrogen peroxide. I plan to boil it just to be sure there is nothing in it I don't want to taste. I don't know if I need to or not but I'm going to anyway.
On a side note, think of all the processed and unnatural foods most of us eat with little care or worry, but we are boiling cotton balls to be safe. Maybe I should start boiling my ring dings and oreos too?

Walgreens carries organic cotton balls. God knows there is one of those on almost every corner. Another FYI

Hydrogen peroxide is H2O2. I wouldn't fret too much about it...
