Research Summary
Cotton buds, also known as cotton swabs or Q-tips (a popular brand name), are small, double-ended sticks with cotton tips on each end. These swabs are commonly used for various personal care and hygiene purposes. The cotton tips are soft and absorbent, making them ideal for cleaning and applying ointments to sensitive areas, such as the ears, nose, and around the eyes. They are widely used for removing earwax, applying makeup, cleaning wounds, and other delicate tasks. However, it is essential to use cotton buds with caution, particularly when cleaning the ear canal, as improper use can push earwax deeper and cause injury to the eardrum. As such, it is recommended to use them only for external purposes and to avoid inserting them into the ear canal to ensure safety and prevent potential damage.
