How to use
Using these bamboo cotton swabs is as easy as grabbing one from the box and applying it to your task—whether it's gently cleaning the outer ear, fixing eyeliner smudges, cleaning tight electronic spaces, or even crafting. Thanks to the durable bamboo stick, they won't bend or break like paper swabs.
After use, simply toss the swab in your home compost bin. Please remember not to insert the swab deep into your ear canal.
