Review on Harumi Corporation's Japan Health and Personal - Black Cotton Swab 2WAY Type 200 Pieces: A Versatile Solution for Optimal Hygiene and Care *AF27* by Jennifer Neff

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Outperforms "western " swabs in every way.

I first discovered these amazing items in an Osaka drugstore because I 'luckily' forgot to pack Q-Tips for a multi-week stay in Japan. At first I wasn't thrilled that I spent so much money on a relatively small container, but then I liked them so much that I bought a few more containers to take home. After finally looking through them, I was thrilled to find a product available at Revain! I'm very picky about tampons and have always stuck to one particular brand as I find most too unreliable to feel like they're cleaning my ears. effectively. These black tampons are so durable you might think they are made of wood and the cotton parts are very dense; The shafts don't bend and the tips don't "squeeze" easily when extra pressure is applied. In comparison, my old favorite brand seems expensive. Their longevity also lends itself very well to a variety of non-ear cleaning tasks, as you can dig into small gaps much more aggressively than 'regular' cotton swabs. These things are worth every penny and these will be the only tampons I'll buy while they're available. Caution: If your ears are rather sensitive or you prefer very soft tampon tips, you will probably find them very uncomfortable.

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Poorly thought out
