Cotton products are items made from cotton, a natural fiber that is used in many different industries. The two most common cotton products are swabs and Q-tips. Swabs are small pieces of cotton fabric that are used to clean or apply medication to a wound or other area of the body. Q-tips are cotton swabs with a wooden handle that are used for cleaning ears and other delicate areas. Both swabs and Q-tips are widely available and used in many households.
