Скачать или смотреть The Object Everyone Uses Wrong: Cotton Swabs! 👂☁️👨

Although cotton swabs are widely associated with ear cleaning today, they were actually not invented for that purpose. In 1923, Leo Gerstenzang saw his wife wrapping cotton around a toothpick while caring for their baby, realized how dangerous it was, and designed a safer, soft-tipped, single-use product. These swabs were originally made to gently clean babies’ delicate areas and to fix makeup. The inside of the ear, however, is very sensitive, and inserting these products into the ear canal is not recommended by doctors. Even though many people still insist on using them incorrectly today, the true purpose behind their design is completely different.
