Now, for cleaning the outer ear and the entrance to the ear canal, there's an alternative: Clinere Plastic Ear Cleaners. Designed to be similar to a physician's tool, yet flexible for consumer use, each Clinere Ear Cleaner has two distinctly different tips. The "spoon" end scoops earwax and debris from the entrance of the ear canal, while the "finned" end scrapes and exfoliates the outer ear.
Mooseman and I both tried these and reached the same conclusion. Clinere Ear Cleaners are more effective than cotton swabs for removing debris, but using them requires a gentle touch. Although flexible, the plastic feels rougher on the skin than cotton does. And I'd be remiss if I didn't remind you to read the directions and safety warnings on the package.
Buy it: Clinere Ear Cleaners are sold in 10-count packages and priced between $5.99 and $6.99. Currently, they are available in Walmart, Kmart, Walgreens, CVS, Meijer, H-E-B and Shopko stores nationwide.
Win it: Thanks to Clinere Products, one lucky reader will win a 10-count package of Clinere Ear Cleaners.

ReplyDeleteI visited and learned these are scoop shaped and similar to a physician's tool. I hope I win. These look great.
ReplyDeleteThey provide instant Ear Itch relief.
ReplyDeleteI like that there is an actual scoop to collect the ear wax so that the wax will not be pushed down your ear canal.
