Pigeon Baby Cotton Swabs (0+ Months), 200 Pieces

This is the 200-piece pack of Pigeon baby cotton swabs, the same swabs as the smaller box in a size that suits how quickly they actually get used. Between drying skin folds, cleaning around the outer ear, tidying up after nappy cream and dabbing at the corners of the eyes, a hundred goes faster than most people expect.

The same rule applies whatever the pack size. Never put a swab inside your baby's ear canal. It pushes wax further in and risks damaging the eardrum.
