A safer and more sustainable alternative to traditional cotton swabs: the ear cleaner

As our society becomes more aware of the environmental consequences of single-use plastic, you may be questioning your daily habits and wondering how you can help reduce your own plastic footprint. While there are tons of sustainable alternatives to traditional products, many don’t realize that these alternatives have additional benefits beyond being eco-friendly. One such product is reusable cotton swabs, a safer and more sustainable alternative to traditional cotton buds.

Traditional cotton swabs are made of polypropylene and polystyrene, two types of plastic derived from fossil fuels. While they are recyclable, most recycling plants do not accept them as part of their recycling program because it can be difficult to separate the plastic from the paper stick. In addition to cluttering up landfills and adding unnecessary waste to our planet, most cotton swabs are also not biodegradable! As a result, they sit in landfills for decades without breaking down.

The reusable cotton swab was created as an eco-friendly alternative to traditional single-use cotton buds and is designed to be used hundreds of times before needing to be replaced. Because it only uses natural materials like bamboo wood and organic cotton (both of which are completely biodegradable), it doesn't add excessive waste or pollution to our planet or oceans when discarded, making it a great choice for anyone who wants something better for the environment.

Cotton buds, like plastic straws and water bottles, are one of the most common items found on beaches. And, like plastic straws and water bottles, they are not biodegradable. In fact, a recent study found that cotton buds were the sixth most common item found on European beaches. This is particularly concerning because single-use items make up a significant portion of the plastic pollution problem.

That’s where these reusable cotton swabs or ear cleaners come in: instead of being thrown away after use – like traditional cotton swabs – they can be used hundreds of times before being washed in your dishwasher or washing machine. If you want to protect your ears from infections without contributing to the plastic pollution problem, these are a great alternative to traditional cotton swabs, which are made from over 85% non-renewable petroleum products.

Better grip means better control over where you clean.

Plastic can bend, and metal can’t. If you apply firm pressure in one spot, the metal will be more durable and the plastic will be able to bend a little. Better control means you can help protect your ears by cleaning outside the canal, where the earwax that protects your ears from infection resides. You can clean as far back as you want, knowing that the metal tip won’t break, and you can improve your hearing if you can remove the buildup of earwax from your ears. The good news? You don’t need any special skills or expensive tools. All you need is the right tool for the job, and we have just what you’re looking for in our store!

Reusable cotton swabs or ear cleaners are better for your health, your wallet and the environment.

• Reusable cotton swabs are better for your health. One study found that the average person uses more than 300 cotton swabs a year — and if you use them to clean your ears, they can cause injury, infection, or hearing loss.

• Reusable cotton swabs are better for your wallet. A single pack of 100 cotton swabs can cost anywhere from $2 to $7, and even lower-end reusable swabs cost less (we have two at Reviewed). People who make the switch could save hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars over their lifetime.

• Reusable cotton swabs are better for the environment. Some companies have started making biodegradable or compostable versions of their products, but you'll still have to dispose of them responsibly, whereas with a reusable option, you'll have zero waste.
