LastSwab® Reusable Cotton Swabs for Gentle & Eco-Friendly Beauty Routines - The Sustainable Alternative to Single-Use Q Tips - Zero Waste & Easy to Clean - Comes with a Travel Case Holder

Product Information

Well, I could put it in the dishwasher which sterilizes everything, but the shaft of the cotton bud would not survive that treatment. This may involve sending your data between different countries, including countries outside the European Economic Area subject to our data transfer agreements and binding corporate rules. Pervasive, damaging and flushed into our oceans at a terrifying rate, the humble cotton swab is far from harmless. With an aim to produce high quality, functioning and practical products with an emphasis on using environmentally respectful materials such as organic cotton, plant based or toxin free plastics and recycled ocean plastic.

Doctors actually advise against EVER using any kind of cotton bud/swab (reusable or not) to clean your ears. The rod is made of PP which is a non-toxic plastic which is the only minor downside for me as when the time comes to dispose of this, it is throwing away plastic which massively goes against the grain. Where we process special categories of personal data, we only do so where we have obtained your explicit consent or where such processing is necessary for purposes of carrying out our legal obligations and exercising specific rights in the field of employment and social security law. Last Object is also proud to be a B Corp certified brand, meaning their business is a force for good.

It works just as well as the disposable ones, but is way more satisfying not having to throw anything away at the end (this makes me very happy)! Nonetheless, on that fateful day that a post from LastSwab appeared on my feed, I found myself immediately sold. So when I first spotted LastSwab from sustainable brand LastObject, I rolled my eyes in disgust at the thought of reusing something that goes in my ears.

You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. It is not possible for us to draw any conclusions about you, and any data collected as a result will never be passed on to third parties. The actual swab is the same size as its single-use counterpart, with nubby soft ends that feel nice on sensitive ear skin.While this statistic would be improved if cotton swabs were the sort of thing you used time and time again, the sad reality is that they’re used on average for less than a minute before being thrown out. Swap in your Kleenex for this silicone carrying case with six handkerchiefs, separated into two chambers for clean and dirty.
