LastSwab® Reusable Cotton Safety Swabs for Baby Ear Cleaning - The Sustainable and Sanitary Alternative to Single-Use Q Tips - Easy to Clean and Zero Waste - Convenient Travel Case Holder

I really like this. I have been moving more into reusables for a while but was hesitant about a reusable "cotton swab". I love the case that it comes in, really easy to open, and a good place to store the swab when not in use. The swab itself is pretty sturdy and the ends are a decent size which stop you pushing it too far into your ear. After use, a dab of soap and a rub with your fingers and it's as good as new. I was concerned whether the ends would withstand being washed or just fall off but they are attached well and have stayed complete.

It's good, and I do like anything that's sustainable and eco friendly. The downfall of these is that they don't have the absorbency like cotton swabs do, so for anything liquid - cleaning wise or bosy fluid wise, they don't pick up or absorb in the same way. But it's comfortable to use, and cleans whatever you're cleaning well.It's best cleaned with a microfibre rag, or in warm soapy water. The case is also made from sea-reclaimed recycled plastic which is great too. Maybe our future problem will be too much silicone products that don't degrade at all, but until then, the resuable nature of this is a really good solution to throwing away less for now.

The media could not be loaded. This reusable 'cotton bud' comes with a nice case to keep it clean. The q tips are made of silicone, they are soft to an extent but can still hurt the ear canals of a baby if misused. I suggest you try it on yourself first to gauge how much force to be used on babies.The tips come with a larger end like a pear to prevent accidentally poking too far into ears, it looks to be effective enough even for some adults. I used a screwing motion once inserted, it works pretty well in extracting ear wax.Cleaning of the product is easy as the whole product including the case is made of waterproof material, just rinse everything under a tap.Overall, it is a good product but I feel the tips could have been made even softer to be extra safe.

I'm a long term user of the LastSwab and was offered the chance to try the baby version.My partner has never been keep on cotton buds so I told her to try this and she's a convert.The fact that you can more easily control how far into your ear you clean (given the giant ball stopping it go to far!) made her feel more comfortable using it.I tend to use mine in the shower so I can clean one ear, wash under running water and then clean the other. That way less water is being wasted.Really happy with it and would recommend!

I like this product due to it's impact on environment (or rather impact of not using the one off ear buds). It is not too comfortable though, rather stiff and hard and doesn't feel right inside the ear. I ended up not using it as much as I wanted and now just lays around the house collecting dust.

What a great idea for saving the planet. Designed to last 1000 times this swab is a brilliant environmentally friendly alternative to cotton swabbing. Handy to have in the plastic shell case so it doesn’t get contaminated in your toiletries bag. Can be rinsed and used by everyone in the family thus negating the need for a draw full of cotton swab sticks. Yea it’s £12.99 but it’s a good investment for those who do their ears regularly and those wanting to do their bit for the planet.

This is a neat little reusable equivalent of a cotton bud.It has a neat little case to keep it safe and clean.The silicon swab has a safety bumb so that you can't put it too deep into the ear.The tips of the swab are soft and gentle and it is easy to clean and sterilise as it is made of silicon.The case is made with recycled plastic.

I bought this a while ago when our son was a baby. Now that he's old enough I thought I'd try it out. It cleaned well and all was looking promising but then I noticed a hole in the rubber... On both sides! Maybe used it 3 times. This will eventually allow the stick to come through which isn't safe. I'm not sure if mine was defective or the quality is poor. I purchased too long ago to return. A bit disappointed ☹️
