SEKI EDGE SS-803- Traditional Bamboo Ear Picks

The bamboo war cleaners have helped me feel so much better. For anyone that feels they have a more liquid like earwax or dislikes any moisture in their ears (after shower) this is a great product. Easy to keep up with and clean. Also allows scooping and does well for anyone with multiple and various ear piercings.

I must admit, when I first opened the package and felt the product, it seemed cheap. The material is very thin. But after using it, the thinness creates a nice flexibility in the product. It's more durable than it looks. The scoop is the perfect pitch. Love it.

Kind of thin and feel soft, not really strong. However it's made of banboo so it's not that easy to broke I think.

My Ex’s Mother-in-Law, a wonderful 5 foot nothing Japanese Lady, told me about these wonderful wooden spoons to clean your ear with. I have been using these for the past 30 years and would not use anything else. Before using it for the first time she told me to rub it on my scalp for a couple of minutes to coat the spoon and fix any imperfections such as sharp edges, or tiny splinter if you buy a handmade ear cleaner.

These picks will do the job great for a little while, but because they're so thin, they're really flimsy. Mine unfortunately had the joint of the bamboo right near the tip, so it just broke. It could've been a real problem if it broke off while it was inside my ear. You may want this product if you're pretty gentle with your things and get lucky enough to get one without a knot in it. Otherwise, look elsewhere.

I am so disappointed with the qualtity of this product. They are too thin, weak, and super expensive since they are not any better than cheaper ones. Also they looked like hand crafted in Japan, but they were actually made in Taiwan. Please do not expect these are high quality product.

These ear picks have solved my long time earwax problems. I've often had hearing impaired by wax, over this last summer when I had water stuck in them for almost a week after doing some swimming I was ready to try anything and found these. I'm glad I did. You need to take care when using them to be very gentle especially if you're going deep in there, but the results can be incredible. This is a bit gross but I've pulled unbelievable gobs of wax out of my ears that made me gape in disbelief. Afterward I was hearing static for a time almost like my ears were readjusting to their newfound sensitivity. The dark wax I pulled out blocking things up very deep in the ear canal, so I want to stress again to be very careful to guide these in gently. Don't force them or make any sudden movements when they're in there and you should be fine and safe. Now I use them maybe every 3 weeks or so and never get big buildups like I used to. I've had to learn not to overdo it because using these things can be very satisfying, but you don't want to mess too much with your ear's natural process, just manage buildup over time.

My ear wax is more liquid than solid, so I'll always need an absorbant ear swab. However, I've never really had a problem with wax build-up because of the way I use the swabs - yes, I put them in my ear canal; no, I don't shove them in but keep the cotton next to the side and swivel/rotate it around to clean. That said, since I am pretty neurotic about my ears and keeping them clean (probably the masses of ear infections I had as a child) I've been curious about these ear picks. They feel delicate and breakable, but because it's bamboo, they're actually quite hardy, as long as you work with the pick and not against it. Using it the first time was so easy and while I didn't get a humongous amount of wax (I didn't expect to) the pick did manage to give my ears a nice, clean feeling. And cleaning the pick itself was quick and easy, too. Winner!

Great quality. I'm addicted now.

If you are looking for a wooden ear pick. This one is perfect. It’s a little delicate product. Could have been a little stronger.

Works well, this was my 2nd order.

I guess these really are hand carved. You get a wide variation in effectiveness. Some are too thick. Some are poorly carved for scooping. Some have rough edges. I had one good one, small, well shaped and thin so that it had some elasticity in the neck of the spoon. Otherwise, it’s a roll of the dice.

Use these for curved cats' ears and are pretty great. Easy to hold and manipulate. Well worth the price.
