Q: Is this for cleaning your ears. Please give me an idea?

submitted by - 6 months ago
  • A: The package does say these can be used for ears, however they are terrible for this use. I don't recommend them for ears. I'm not usually picky about these, but I won't buy these again and had to donate them for art projects instead. They don't have enough cotton to be used for ears.

    Great Quality for the Price

    Great quality for the price and very comparable to the Q-Tips brand! Not like other store brand cotton swabs that fall apart or have a plastic stick.
