Cotton sticks are called differently. Cotton sticks: what they really need them

Vladislav Sergeyevich Zhenchenko, the otolaryngologist "SM Clinic", tells "Letor", how to correct ears and why for this, "ear" sticks are not suitable for this.

What's happening

With the start of sales in our country of cosmetic chopsticks In the early 1990s, the incidence of otolaryngologists everywhere noted the increase in the incidence of outdoor otitis, primarily fungal origin, and an increase in the number of patients with sulfur traffic jams.

In fact, the main purpose of these sticks is to adjust makeup, that is, they have nothing to do with the ears.

Most people use cosmetic sticks in order to remove from the ears of the sulfur, to "clean" them. However, in fact, in fact, they not only do not achieve any better result compared to daily washing of ears, but also create conditions for the development of many diseases.

Why "ear" sticks are dangerous

Using cotton cosmetic sticks for "cleaning" of external hearing aisters, the patient significantly not only removes sulfur from areas adjacent to the eardrum, but also "scores" it there, independently creating sulfur tubes.

The ear sulfur, isolated by ferrous cells of the skin of the outer auditory passage, performs a protective function. It has antimicrobial and antifungal effect and is a natural removal mechanism from an outdoor passage of dust and foreign bodies. That is, the sulfur needs and clean the ears before the brilliance can not.

The skin of the outer auditory passage is extremely thin and tender and using even such, at first glance, a delicate tool, as cotton cosmetic sticks, leads to the formation of bumps, abrasion.

As a result, the patient independently creates prerequisites for infection, almost widely opens the door in front of it, and first of all (including due to widespread and uncontrolled antibiotics). We are talking about fungi.

It should also be taken into account that in the outer hearing aisle, especially in its deep departments, even normal conditions are extremely favorable for the development of fungi and microbes: there warmly, dark and humid.

Thus, the "lovers of purity", outdoor otites are very often developing, both fungal (other than otomycosis) and microbial, sulfur tubes are formed. And the trauma of the eardrum can be experienced in particularly zealous.

How to clean

No wonder Lor doctors have a joke: the nature of no accident created us so that the finger can be shoved in the nose, but in the ear - no. As you know, in every joke there is only a fraction of jokes.

Many people who care about the aesthetic side of the question are probably angry: they say, how so, everyone now walk with dirty ears?!

Of course not.

Their doubts disquires the fact that, by virtue of an anatomical structure, visual inspection, especially at a distance (and rarely, who, except the ENT doctor, looks very carefully into your ears), only external departments of the outdoor auditory passage that can be excellent Wash the maiden with the usual showing of the soul.

Thus, the optimal ears care is daily washing.

People prone to the formation of sulfur traffic jams can be used by special means in the form of droplets (sold in conventional pharmacies), which dilute ear sulfur and increase the likelihood of its disheaval during washing. But it is almost impossible to remove the cork already formed with such drops (as well as other tools that are sold for these purposes). And in the case of unpleasant symptoms, you need to immediately consult a doctor.

Everyone who looked at me is a review, I wish good day!
Today I want to introduce you to cotton chopsticks.
I would venture to assume that the younger generation readers does not represent that in the near past we somehow did without them. Imagine and it was. It accounted for a match to wind a small piece of cotton wool.
I do not know who, but thanks to the person who invented the cotton wands that we now use.

They are much more convenient for matches.
At firstThey are hygienic.
Secondly, they are longer in size.
Thirdly, They have wool from two sides.
It makes them much more convenient in use.

Cotton buds - The thing is necessary, therefore they make their many manufacturers. So you can even get confused, looking at such a variety of shelves in the store. Once I was so in thought, what are cotton wands buy? And he decided that all of them are the same, so you need to buy those that cheaper. So grabbed two packs. I barely spent one spent, to what they were inconvenient to use.

But today I want to tell you about cotton chopsticks, using one pleasure.
Meet - cotton wands "Aura".

What did I like immediately, without having experienced them in practice? This is their comfortable packaging in the form of a transparent cup with a lid. It is very important that these hygiene products are always closed, especially if you store them in the bathroom.
From information on the sticker, you can find out what the famous Russian company produces these sticks "Cotton Club", Specializing in Wat products. Packaging is located 200 cotton sticks.
Initially, they were very beautifully laid out - a spiral.

In this photo, the drawing broke up a bit, because there are already many sticks from there.

The wand itself is made of bright pink thick plastic. At the ends of the sticks on special thermocouples tightly hold small pieces of 100% cotton.

Sometimes I call cotton sticks "Ear". I do not know how you, but I most often clean your ears with such chopsticks. I know that the ENT doctors do not allow this. When I lay in the ENT compartment, I read a strict warning there on the wall.
At first, Sulfur in the ear is needed, as it carries a protective, cleansing, moisturizing and lubricating functions.
Secondly, With cotton chopsticks you can damage the eardrum and gentle skin, and also to be infected. In addition, the sulfur can not be removed in this way, but on the contrary, it is even deeper to shove inside.

Knowing all this, I nevertheless always after I fell my head, I clean your ears with cotton chopsticks. After all, moisture accumulates there, and cotton sticks perfectly absorb and remove together gray and mud. I try to do it carefully.

But of course, this is not the only way to use cotton sticks.
They are convenient to remove extra varnish on the nails, apply green or iodine in wounds.
They cut out and when you need to clean something hard to reach. For example, I cleaned them in the old refrigerator hole where water flowed. She was often clogged, and the water spread over the refrigerator. With the help of cotton sticks, I not only cleaned an excess moisture in the duct, but also a copied dirt.
Also, cotton sticks are cut down - sorry - when washing toilet bowl. There is such a narrow gap where the seat is attached. Gradually, dust and dirt accumulate there, which is very difficult to remove from there. Here I am painted with cotton sticks "Aura".
They are dense, not bend and do not break, unlike those sticks that I spoke at first. I will not call their manufacturer, as the review is not about them. But I propose to compare.

Externally, they seem identical. And length, and the amount of wool on the ends coincide. But when used, it is felt that in the first wands wool at the ends less. And they themselves bend from the slightest pressed. They even have a difficult ears, not to mention another application.

Cotton sticks "Aura", on the contrary, very dense, not at all, and never let me down.
Finally, I also want to show you options for using cotton sticks in crafts to make you something to do with children. Good ideas for New Year's gifts.

In turn, I am waiting for unusual ways to use cotton sticks.

Sterile probe-tampon, he is a fuper (in medicine), it is also a cotton wand completely not intended for the purpose for which it is often used - the cleaning of the ears. Not only, just for the ears, he can be far away.

Cosmetic cotton wands began to be released after it was noted that many people love to dig in the ears with a match and wounds wound on her. There is a demand - there is a proposal: wands began to produce in industrial volumes. At the same time, the inconveniences of the use of matches were taken into account - the sticks made longer, and they secured the wool on them.

Own sulfur cleans and lubricates the ear canals, and also protects them from fungal, bacteria and insects. The sulfur constantly "collects" on itself all these harmful substances and is displayed naturally in case of chewing movements. However, if the ear sulfur is produced in unnecessary quantity, it can become a closure of the ear canal and deliver a lot of unpleasant sensations. Only a doctor can remove the sulfur tube.

The developments of too much ear sulfur is called sulfur hypersecretion. The main cause of hypersecretion is irritation of the skin of the auditory passage. And the main cause of such irritation is hearing aids and cotton wands.

Climbing in the ear with a wand in order to remove the extra sulfur, a person violates the natural mechanism of self-cleaning, irritates the skin and shifts the ear sulfur, "the rambling" of it and repeatedly increasing the risk of cork formation. In addition, if the process is too carried away, it is possible to accidentally pierce the drum blade with a stick, which will lead to deafness.

Wet wipes, cotton wands, cotton discs, strips - all this is so firmly included in our life, that without these funds it is already difficult to imagine it. And how many were thinking about what makes all these familiar products produce? Plastic and cotton carry the corollable harm to the environment and man. But in our time, for conscious people there is always a way out and I want to introduce you to Organyc, which produces safe, environmentally friendly and certified cosmetic products from cotton.

And I want to tell you today, I want a cotton wand today. They are in a white cardboard box. I like the inscriptions of green, which do not even hint, and loudly declare the naturalness of the manufacturer and products. This box contains 200 cotton sticks.

My family, though he switched completely on natural care, but much more wildness for them, for example, why bother with cotton chopsticks or bamboo toothbrushes. Thanks to them on the fact that at least plastic collect and pass, but brushes with chopsticks for them is a little thing. I think most people are also not thinking about how many plastic goes for the production of cotton sticks and what harm this plastic and cotton makes an environment.

On the reverse side there is a landscape with information in Russian, but the quality leaves much to be desired and the text is poorly readable.

On the box there is a window, through which we see cotton sticks. Without plastic, it was not completely without a small film serves as a protective layer of the window.

But, this packaging is made of renewable materials and is biodegradable.

For the convenience of opening on the box, performation is provided. You need to push your finger and the packaging is open.

On the side, we see the Ecocert certificate.

And here is a cotton wand. She is completely white. I got used to the color design of the rod, and then everything is white, beautiful.

Organyc produces cotton wands from organic cotton, and so familiar plastic base is made of paper.

I liked it insanely that the base of the stick is made of paper. It is durable and not broken when used. The basis is made very high quality, just when using a wand can bend a little, but you need to try to break it.

Wat is well wound, when used, it has never been unprecedented so that the wool will be opened or fell off from a paper rod.

According to Greenpeace in Russia, 16 thousand tons of plastic cotton wands fall into the landfill. Now imagine how much it will be if you consider the amount of cotton sticks used in the world 😔.

Everything in these chopsticks is fine, but I got used to the cotton. It is very tight wound and harsh sticks. I do something that it is not recommended to make cotton chopsticks - I clean your ears 🙈. I will not lie, I didn't like this stiffness at all. The first time it was even painfully cleaned ears. I would bought organic cotton sticks of another manufacturer, but unfortunately other manufacturers except Organyc do not know. Therefore, I used to use chopsticks very carefully. Alternatives were not. Over time, when most of the cotton wands were used, I used to this stiffness. Now they even like me very much and I will definitely buy another 😊!

I consider the price of cotton sticks adequate, they stand a little more than 250 rubles.

If you still doubt if you need these cotton wands, then let's look at their advantages:

Sticks are made of organic cotton;

Have an Ecocert certificate;

The base of the stick is made of paper;

Packaging biodegradable and made from renewable materials;

In a 200 cotton wand box;

Durable;

Not unwound and wool is not falling off from the ground;

Acceptable price for an organic product.

The first time did not like that sticks are hard, but you get used to it.

If you are worried about the topic of pollution of the environment by plastic, then be sure to get acquainted with the Organyc brand and its products!
