Pigeon Baby Cotton Swabs (0+ Months), 100 Pieces

Pigeon baby cotton swabs are made narrower and softer than adult swabs, for the small, delicate places that come up constantly in the first months: around the outer ear, skin folds, around the nails, and the umbilical stump area in the early weeks.

One rule matters more than everything else. Never put a swab inside your baby's ear canal. Ears clean themselves, and a swab pushes wax further in and risks damaging the eardrum. Clean only the visible outer ear.

Specs

• Type: Baby cotton swabs
• Pack size: 100 pieces
• Age: From birth
• Use: Outer ear, skin folds, nails, umbilical area
• Brand: Pigeon (Japan)

Benefits

• Narrower than adult swabs, which makes them workable on a small face and around tiny fingers
• Useful for drying skin folds after a bath, where trapped moisture causes irritation
• A 100-pack is a sensible size for occasional use rather than sitting in a cupboard for years
• Individually useful for applying small amounts of cream to a precise spot
• Keep them out of reach. A swab is exactly the sort of thing an older baby will put in their own ear

How to Use

• Clean only the visible outer ear. Never insert into the ear canal
• Use gently and with your baby held still
• Use each swab once and dispose of it
• Follow your midwife's guidance for cleaning around the umbilical stump
• Keep the pack closed and out of reach of children
• See a doctor about ear wax or discharge rather than attempting to remove it yourself
