New Product Alert - Fantastic replacement for cotton bud users..flip-tips are here to stay

A revolutionary advance in cerumen control, forget scoops and curettes - this product is far superior

We are planning to receive our first order of flip-tips soon, having sampled the product today we were left astounded at how effective and comfortable this product is to use.

flip-tips use a soft rubber blade that is rotated clockwise and anti-clockwise in the auditory canal, the  blades act as wax magnets, allowing the wax to coat both sides of the blades, when pulling out we were astounded at the amount of wax these little flippers can shift.

You simply wash the blades and go in deeper for another attempt, the blades are made from a very soft rubber or latex that leaves a fatty deposit on the ear canal wall to prevent infection.

They can be washed, re-used and recommended to be used every 3 days to prevent blockages from occurring.

flip-tips are VERY comfortable to use, In fact I found them to be very therapeutic.

The soft blades are designed to be safe, as over insertion can lead to damage to the ear drum - these soft blades have been designed to simply bend back if the product is pushed in too deep.

Instructions suggest that you should not insert  deeply, if a waxy blockage is deep in the ear then seek medical attention or treat with olive oil and use the Acu-Life Ear Wax Removal Syringe.

flip-tips are designed to prevent blockages, working with the ears natural self cleaning process.

So if you use hearing aids, Earplugs or cotton buds these are a great way to keep blockages at bay.

Ear Picks, Curettes, Q-Tips vs Ear Wiz

 

Don’t tell me that you have never been told by your family doctor, or a good friend that sticking anything larger than your elbow into your ear is a big NO NO!  Sarcasm aside, they do have a point, sticking objects into your ear canal is putting your hearing at risk for sure - This includes Q-tips, Ear Picks & Curettes.

Q-Tips will just push the wax deeper into the ear canal, at some point the wax will start to put pressure on the ear drum and this is painful, see your local ENT surgeon or Audiologist immediately.

Ear Picks should only be used by healthcare professionals who can clearly see into your ear and how far the pick is probing, never try to do this yourself or with a friend.

Curettes are similar to ear picks but have a scooped end, for digging out ear wax but still pose the same dangers as Ear Picks.

To my astonishment none of the products I have mentioned above seen have a safety stop to prevent over insertion; it would be a simple addition and prevent many injuries across the world.

Commonly the picks & curettes available are made from metal, so you also  need to be very careful about scratching the walls of the ear canal, these walls are lined with tiny hairs that are important for bacterial defence, probing and scratching the walls can damage not only the hairs but the skin that holds them in place, increasing the risk of infection and the further stimulation of more Cerumen.

Metal Ear picks should be avoided, instead opting for the softer plastic type with a softer tip.

Let’s take a look at the EarWiz, a simple tool that incorporates a safety stop, easy grip handle and has a soft tipped scoop on a curved arm that allows you to remove wax from the ear canal in a simple twist & scoop action.

At only £4.49 I believe this product is a far safer, more effective ear wax removal device than any other similar product currently available & is great for those who use hearing aids, earplugs or earphones on a regular basis as this product can help to keep the ear canal free from compressed wax aiding the natural flow of Cerumen and helping to prevent the need for syringing.
