Q-tip Ear Cleaner

These ear cleaners work really well on my cat, and she doesn’t fuss at all when I use them. The cotton tips are soft and safe, which I love. The only tiny thing is that the stick feels a little flexible compared to what I expected. Not a dealbreaker at all—it still does the job perfectly and I’d buy again.

At first, I thought these were kind of pricey compared to regular cotton swabs. But after using them, I get why they cost more. The built-in solution really softens up earwax so it comes out easily. My cat didn’t resist at all, which never happens. I also like that they’re individually packaged because it feels more hygienic. The swabs themselves feel sturdy, not flimsy. I’ve used both on my tabby and my Siamese, and they worked equally well. Now I keep a box in my cat drawer at all times. Honestly, I’ll never go back to plain cotton swabs again.

Usually, ear cleaning is the last thing I want to do because my cat fights me every step of the way. With these, it’s totally different. I snapped the tip, waited a few seconds, and the liquid soaked the cotton evenly. It lifted out a surprising amount of gunk. My cat didn’t yowl or scratch me once, which is rare. I was done with both ears in under a minute. The packaging makes it easy to grab just one swab when needed. I can honestly say this made ear cleaning stress-free for both of us.

I love the single-use packs, so much easier to keep clean and great for travel.

I have two kittens, and I wasn’t sure if this would be safe for them. To my relief, it was gentle and didn’t cause any irritation. The swabs are the perfect size for small ears. I like how the liquid flows evenly into the cotton tip once you snap it. My kittens barely noticed I was cleaning their ears, which is amazing. The whole process took maybe two minutes. I’ll definitely keep using these as they grow.
