I used the same cotton swab for a week and to be honest, I sort of loved it.
It first got big on Kickstarter and is meant to replace over 1,000 cotton swabs."Every year, trillions of single-use plastic products are consumed and thrown away -- often ending up on the beaches and in the oceans harming marine life. By purchasing LastSwab you are helping reduce harmful waste impacting our environment," the company writes on its website.
The swab, which sells for $12, is made of a stiff nylon rod, thermoplastic elastomers and polylactic acid . To clean it, you are instructed to wash it with soap and water.I try to be environmentally conscious by using reusable bags and carrying my own water bottle, but I had never considered the waste I'm creating from cotton swabs.
I did the math. Since I use about three cotton swabs per day -- for things like cleaning my ears, doing my makeup and taking off nail polish -- this means I use over 1,000 cotton swabs in a year. Based on their claims of 1,000 uses, the Last Swab could replace all of the cotton swabs I throw out in an entire year.When I first opened the Last Swab it felt super strange.The ends are textured instead of smooth for what I assume is easier cleaning.
Because the swab is plastic it isn't absorbent, I was skeptical if it would be as effective as a cotton swab.
