The everyday problem
Cotton swabs are a habit for a lot of us. But many people aren't sure what they're actually doing.
Cotton tips are made to wipe and absorb, so it's hard to tell what was actually picked up.
It's a common concern. Ear specialists caution that cotton swabs and other objects in the ear can pack wax in further. AAFP
Most cotton swabs are single-use. Ear Buddy sticks are designed to be reused, following the manufacturer's care instructions.
You deserve to know exactly what a product is designed to do, and what it isn't. We explain both below.

The Ear Buddy approach
A slim, reusable stick with a small frosted capsule tip and an adhesive surface.
How it works
A small, frosted capsule tip with faint ridges and an adhesive surface.
Wax that touches the adhesive surface is designed to stay on the tip, so you can see what was collected.
Clean, dry and reuse each stick exactly as the manufacturer's instructions describe.

Every pack contains 24 sticky ear-cleaning sticks, designed to collect earwax. They're reusable and easy to clean. Choose 1, 2 or 4 packs.
The small frosted tip has an adhesive surface designed to hold on to earwax it touches, so the wax stays on the tip and comes away with the stick.
A cotton swab has an absorbent cotton tip designed to wipe. Ear Buddy has a sticky tip designed to collect visible earwax on the outer ear, and it's reusable.
Gently touch the sticky tip to visible earwax on the outer ear, then slowly lift it away. Do not insert it into the ear canal.
After each use, rinse the sticky tip with clean water to remove collected debris. Let it dry completely before storing it in a clean, dry place. Avoid touching the sticky surface to keep it effective.
Ear Buddy is designed for multiple uses. Clean it after each use, and replace it when the tip is no longer sticky.
