I used to go through a pack of cotton buds a month. One box of these sits in the drawer and I just rinse them.

Ear Care, Without the Bin Full of Cotton

GET MINE NOW
Clean Ears, Without the Cotton
A cotton bud is used once and thrown away, and the fibres can smear wax around instead of picking it up. The Novum swab has a soft, slightly tacky tip that wax sticks to as you turn it gently at the entrance of the ear.
When you're done, rinse the tip under the tap and let it dry. The tip keeps its grip, so the same swab is ready for next time. One box holds 24 clear swabs in a tray that keeps them apart.

Why Novum Earwax Swabs?
A tip that grips
+
Cotton absorbs and spreads. The Novum tip is a soft resin adhesive wrapped around the end of the rod, so wax sticks to it and comes away with the swab.
Rinse, dry, done
+
Hold the tip under running water, then let it air dry or use a hair dryer on a cool setting. Once dry, the tip is tacky again and the swab is ready for the next use.
No cotton to fray
+
There is no cotton on the tip, so there is nothing to fray or unravel. You can see exactly what the swab picked up on the clear tip.
A size for the whole family
+
Choose Small (4 × 65 mm) for kids or Large (5 × 65.5 mm) for adults. Both come 24 to a box, in the same clear tray.
Fewer things in the bin
+
A reusable swab replaces a stream of single-use cotton buds. One box sits in the bathroom drawer and lasts for weeks of rinse-and-reuse.
Part of Your Everyday Routine
Use it after a shower, before bed or after a swim, any time the outer ear feels like it needs a tidy.
The flat box fits in a wash bag or a gym bag, so a clean swab travels with you. Rinse it at the sink and it is ready again.

Chris L.,

I was skeptical about rinsing a swab, but it really does dry tacky again. The box lives in my gym bag.

No more bin full of cotton buds. I rinse it, leave it on the shelf to dry, and it's ready the next morning.

I keep the box in the drawer and rinse the same swab after each use. It's been weeks and the tip still grips.

Takes a minute to get the hang of turning it slowly. After that it's quicker than cotton and there's no mess.

The box is flat so it fits in my wash bag. I use one after swimming and rinse it at the hotel sink.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I use it?
+
Hold the rod and turn the tip slowly at the entrance of the ear, where you can see. Never push it deep into the ear canal. Wax sticks to the tacky tip and comes away with the swab.
How do I clean it?
+
Hold the tip under running water until it is clear, then let it air dry or use a hair dryer on a cool setting. Once dry, the tip is tacky again.
How many times can I reuse one swab?
+
Many times. Rinse and dry it after each use, and swap to a fresh swab from the box once the tip stops feeling tacky. Each person should keep their own swab.
Which size should I choose?
+
Small (4 × 65 mm) is sized for kids and Large (5 × 65.5 mm) for adults. Children should only use it with an adult holding the swab.
What is it made of?
+
The rod is PET plastic and the tip is a soft resin adhesive that wraps the end of the rod. The whole swab is transparent.
What's in the box?
+
24 swabs of the size you choose, held in a clear tray inside a flat box about 12 × 10 cm.
Can I use it for anything else?
+
Yes. The tacky tip also lifts stray mascara flecks and liner smudges. Keep separate swabs for ears and makeup.
