I have gotten some a few times. Sometimes these cats will send registered mail. I don't know how they make money but the goods get there and they send extra stuff like oragami and noodle seasoing sometimes.
These black cotton swabs show the wax that would normally blend in in a white qtip. And one side of the qtip is built for getting wax out.
If you cant get cheap. Wait for a while and these cheap deals will eventually pop up again. The most I have paid is 2 dollars total.
Most people I have put on these cotton swabs give them props. They are pretty sturdy too.
