Review (5/5): Better Than Metal Ones
As an Asian, I was surprised to see Americans using metal earpick! I tried it once, and boy it was not a pleasant experience. I am used to using wooden earpick - which is more safe and comfortable. Now there are two kinds of wooden earpicks: one is un-coated (like this one) and another is coated. Coated wooden earpick is smoother to maneuver in your ear. So it is up to you - which one you choose. I used both kinds and they are both great for my ears.
As for this particular earpick, it is basic wooden earpick (crafted in Japan, the materials may not have been from Japan). It is a decent quality - not a premium (I have seen and used premium ones. But there is no real difference in use or the effectiveness. It is premium - because it uses better wood). It is easy to maneuver, easy to feel the earwax and remove it, and strong enough to last a long time. For the price (3 ear picks), this is a great choice. So if you have not used wooden earpicks before, then consider this product, you may be pleasantly surprised. Recommended!
