Review (5/5): What an amazing concept that is wonderfully executed!
Boy, oh, boy! Not having to purchase bulk quantities of cotton swabs was the thing that pulled me towards this, both from an economic perspective and a consciously environmental one. I wasn't sure how the product would be in real life because I just kept imagining there is no way the swab won't fall off with use and cleaning.
But here are the great pros:
1) You get 4 swabs with 8 different ends that instantly multiplies how, where, and when you can use compared to the regular cotton swab. Used on the body, like ears, eyebrows, nails, etc. or even to clean tight spots in the kitchen, car, or keyboard!
2) You can disinfect them! Which is the best part! Cotton swabs are packed together and you are not sterile by any means. These can be disinfected because they seemingly withstand temperatures up to 230 C or 446 F. So I can easily boil them after use, apply alcohol, or use a multitude of methods to disinfect them safely.
3) Reusable over and over again
4) Highly effective. I have persistent unresolvable ear itching that started years ago because of the constant use of earplugs, and my dermatologist and I have tried all sorts of meds to resolve it to no avail. I use cotton swabs several times a day, and to me, they have never been entirely helpful. I have not tried all the tips for all the other things they could do, but I can say that for the hairy tip that it's the very best tool I have ever used that helped me with the itching. It does a perfect job, and I cannot recommend it highly enough.
They're very light, compact, come in a great case, super easy to clean and disinfect, if needed, highly effective, and will save money and storage space!
