Here's something new. I don't usually use cotton swabs, but once in a while I do. If I did I would use the all paper and cotton ones, not the plastic stick ones. Most people may have seen the image of the tiny sea horse with it's tail wrapped around a floating Q-tip, oy...
Anywhoo, I saw this brand of a reusable swab and figured I'd give it a try. I also purchased one for my husband and one for my son. They come in different colors so we could always tell them apart, which is nice. It isn't soft like a cotton swab, but you use it more to scoop out the wax! If you have water in your ears, use your towel to get it out. Or I'll share another method later in the post with the different things you can use 1 piece of tissue for in one go!
There are other brands of a similar product, but I just went with this one. Here's where I bought it.
They sell other reusable alternatives as well.
After using the swab, you just wash it with soap and water. The little case makes it nice because besides having a place to keep it, you can also set it in there to dry.
If you've tried this product or a similar one, please share your experience! And of course if you have any questions, please feel free to ask in the comments. Thanks!
