What's the function of cotton buds in your first aid kit/box?


If you own a standard first aid kit/box, you are most definitely going to find some cotton buds in them.

No, their inclusion in your first aid kit/box isn't to help apply or take off your make up😝

No, they're not there to "clean", poke or tickle your ears 🤦‍♀️. Putting stuff in your ears is a no-no, it poses the risk of damaging your eardrums 

So what are they for?

Cotton buds aka Q tips, cotton bud applicators, cotton tip applicators, cotton swabs in first aid kits/boxes are for 👇

1) cleansing wounds or area surrounding a wound
2) applying topical meds (burn cream, antiseptic ointment/solution etc.)
3) to pick out debris in the eye or wounds (in the absence of clean running water)

So if you didn't know, now you know😁

It's not sufficient that you own a first aid kit/box, it's important that you know how to use it's contents.
