Cotton swab

A cotton swab, also known as a Q-tip, is a small piece of soft cotton attached to a thin stick. It's used for many things, but mostly as a tool for cleaning your ears or applying medication to small areas on your body. The stick is easy to hold, and the soft cotton tip is gentle enough to clean your ears without hurting them. However, it's important to remember that you should never stick the cotton swab too far into your ear, as this can damage your eardrum or push earwax further inside. Always use cotton swabs gently and with adult supervision.
