A Safe and Reusable Replacement for Cotton Buds...

How to safely clean your ears without cotton buds...

When imagining someone cleaning their ears, most people think of someone with a cotton bud shoved in their ear trying to clear out the wax. Despite various warning labels on packaging reading ‘do not insert in the ear canal’, that is the most common association and well-known use for cotton buds.

The problem with cotton buds…

The shape and size may look perfect for removing irritating ear wax and debris, but inserting cotton buds into the ear can result in the opposite effect, compacting wax deep into the canal and causing far more problems than a little bit of annoying ear wax. Cleaning the ear with cotton buds may feel nice, but they do more harm than good. Medical experts warn of ruptured eardrums, leading to pain and bleeding or the worst-case scenario, permanent hearing loss.

What you should use instead...(your ears will thank you for it)

The unique and simple to use double-ended design of Safe and Sound Health’s Ear Cleaners helps to remove excess earwax without damaging the ear.

• The cupped end is designed to scoop out excess ear wax
• The ribbed end exfoliates dead skin and gently removes excess earwax

Made from plastic, they eliminate the risk of small fibres becoming trapped in the ear and can be washed and re-used, helping to reduce the impact that some cotton buds would otherwise have on the environment and marine life.
