Review title is SWABS [SEP] I don't like them because they just aren't firm enough and the stick is way to long and flexible, I bought them for my husband he can't have anything by mouth and his mouth gets clogged up the swabs are to mushy and they can't hold onto anything in his mouth . I'm sorry for this bad review , I bought them because I wanted to try something new (colors) I probably will go back to the ones I was using.  I hope you are a great success in your venture.
