Original Cotton SwabsQ-tips Original Cotton Swabs 750 Count

Soft tips on flexible paper sticks

Each Q-tips swab has a soft cotton tip on a gently flexible paper stick, with the sticks sourced from sustainable forests, according to the manufacturer. The brand also says the swabs are biodegradable when composted and that its packaging is recyclable.

Useful around the home and make-up bag

For beauty, they can be used to apply or tidy up eyeliner and eyeshadow. In baby care, the manufacturer suggests them for cleaning around a newborn's umbilical cord and belly button, around the nose, and between tiny fingers and toes. They are also handy for applying creams and ointments, and for dusting keyboard keys, phone ports and other hard-to-reach spaces.

A large household supply

The pack holds 750 swabs, so one box covers a lot of everyday jobs across the house. The pack measures roughly 7.8 x 11.1 x 24.5 cm.

How to use

Hold the paper stick and use the soft cotton tip to dab on or tidy up make-up, apply creams to small areas, or dust keyboards and small gaps around the home. Use a fresh swab each time and bin it after use.

Before you choose

Do not insert a swab into the ear canal, as this could cause injury. If you use one to clean ears, stroke it gently around the outer surface of the ear only. Keep out of reach of children. US-market product: packaging and label wording may differ from UK versions.
