Title: NEVER use these. They will RUIN your pads.
Review: These WILL ruin your pads. I promise you. While they do absorb moisture, if you leave it inside your flute it will transfer that moisture back into the pads of the flute, and easily so because the fuzz touches the pads. ALSO they, like a duster, hold dirt and dust and once you get that dirt and dust wet inside your instrument you'll make a nice sticky dirt paste to transfer to your pads. So don't use these. Period. Never leave ANYTHING that you've swabbed with inside the instrument case or worse, the instrument itself. Very bad. Can't tell you how many of my students came to me with flutes completely ruined because of these. A re-pad on a student instrument is probably more money than the cost of the instrument itself. Save yourself the trouble!
