It’s True: Cotton Swabs Are Bad and You’re Probably Cleaning Your Ears Wrong
Listen, it’s gross but I’m not ashamed to admit it: I have an earwax problem. At least once or twice a year I used to have to go to the doctors because my right or left ear was clogged. I was in pain and could not hear a damn thing. The first thing doctors typically did was shame me for my cotton swab usage, something I don’t even dare to think of doing now.
Tvidler is often recommended by professionals. Tvidler is the perfect q-tip alternative. Instead of a blunt, thick end, Tvidler has long spiral tip. It was carefully designed for the odd shape of ear canals. All you have to do is turn the swab in the direction indicated on the handle. It’s that easy to safely get a satisfying clean! You just gently insert it into your ear and slowly turn.

A narrow ear canal where wax gets stuck and has difficulty moving out is another contributing factor, as well as having a condition like psoriasis that causes an excess of dead skin to shed. As we get older, the natural migration of the skin slows down and the wax becomes dryer, so the process as a whole slows down and leads to accumulation more commonly.
Ear wax is a substance that our body produces to keep our ears safe.The ear canal is vulnerable to infection without enough ear wax. So, you must be careful when you clean your ears. Using inappropriate tools like q-tips and pencils can actually push ear wax further into the ears rather than clean them. Ear doctors use carefully designed medical equipment to clean patients’ ears. Now, you can get your own to make sure that you’re properly cleaning your ears at home!
You’ll immediately notice the difference of using a tool designed with your ears in mind! Tvidler actually fits into your ear, so you don’t have to push or pull to try to get a good cleaning. Since Tvidler is made of silicone and plastic, it’s reusable. Wash it after every use.
