LastSwab® Reusable Cotton Swabs for Ear Cleaning - Sanitary Alternative to Single-Use Q Tips - Easy to Clean - Comes with a Convenient Travel Case Holder - Blue

Works great and is very easy to clean. Great way to reduce waste and it’s definitely easier to bring this traveling instead of a baggie of disposable q-tips.

If I could give this product 100 stars, I would. I’ve got psoriasis and chronic drainage in both my ears, and no medication has ever taken care of it since it showed up 5 years ago during cancer treatment. Since then, I’ve gone through literally thousands of cotton swabs annually, and one common problem I experience across all brands is the cotton coming off inside the ear canal. I’ve had to fish out cotton so many times I can’t even count. I’d love to be disciplined and not use swabs at all inside the ear canal, but try to imagine a cat’s whiskers tickling the inside of your ear 100% of the time and tell me you wouldn’t try to find something to make that stop. That’s why I was amazed and happy to find this little miracle. I didn’t know how happy I would be with it when it first arrived. I was worried the plastic ends would get lodged in the ear canal and wouldn’t be as easy to get out as cotton, but I’ve had no such issue whatsoever. The Last Swab is solidly made, and it works infinitely better than any cotton swab ever did. The best part is it doesn’t leave lacerations in my ear canal, and it’s so super compact and discreet. I love it! I truly can’t speak highly enough about this seemingly simple product. I will be purchasing more. I need one for the house, one for my wallet, and one for my car so that I’m never without. Even if you don’t have ear issues and are only wanting to live a more sustainable lifestyle, this is still an outstanding purchase. Buy one (or three). You’ll be glad you did!

It works well as a replacement for Q-tips which I previously used daily. I first saw this at a Christmas Pop-up shop. A friend bought one and I nearly bought one too at that time. His praise of the product lead me to give it a try.This product isn't absorbent as it is plastic with rubber tips. My sturdiness complaint is that one rubber tip was not molded correctly but put on at an angle, causing a slight split through the rubber bit. Eventually that rubber part is going to tear and break off. Other than that it's worked well so far.

Loved it at first!! I ordered one of these reusable swabs and it worked great, but after a while I lost it. So I ordered another, and it felt much flimsier than the first one I had, but I figured it was fine. Then, just a few weeks into using it, it broke in half during use! I was lucky nothing worse happened, but this could be very dangerous if it broke off short enough to be stuck in the ear. I was desperate and tried to use one of the halves for a while and then that broke too. So now I no longer have one to use, and am hesitant to spend money on another that might just break... The bumps on it are also pretty hard and may too rough for many people's ears, although I didn't mind. I might try a different brand.

Great product! I no longer have the irritation from swabs, and it’s easier to use than using my elbow.

I'm so pleased I found this. I literally said to my roommate that I thought a reusable Qtip would be really good for the environment and that I should invent it. As I spoke, she found it on Amazon lol

Nylon core for swab stems?? How is that eco-friendly? Very disappointed; not worth the $I was so hoping these would be light-years better than the other reusable "cotton" swabs I've purchased before, but sadly, they're not - more expensive and *not* more eco-friendly than the bamboo-stemmed reusable swabs I've purchased before. Silicone tips aren't absorbent, and they are (all brands I've tried) just too small to be useful to me.The Last Swab Make-up Removal swab, with an absorbent mesh fabric (replaceable) tip is scratchy and uncomfortable to use on the delicate skin around my eyes. Plus, most of this fabric tip is covered by the nylon clasp holding it in place, so it really doesn't cover/swipe much area.For now I'm sticking with my soft 100% organic cotton washcloths and the very occasionally used, fully compostable real organic cotton tips and post-consumer paper stem swabs.

Now this product is controversial because I know a lot people think it’s weird to reuse, but I think it’s perfect! It’s cleans very easily, the design is perfect to get all the wax I need out! The color is a perfect match for what is displayed, I also enjoy how compact the Q-tip is! The carrying case makes it great for on the go, and it’s a great bang for your buck in the long run!
