The ear cleaning stick can be washed and reused. It has a safe design and uses adhesive gel, so it doesn't hurt. It has an LED light that illuminates the inside of the ear. You can see and catch things with the light. Parents feel safe using it on small children, and they can see inside the ear clearly. It's a very convenient light-up ear cleaner. This is a new, unused item, but please understand that it has been stored at home. Thank you for looking.
