They warn you on the box not to insert these things in your ear canal, but it sure beats what the inventor's wife used prior to his creation. Q-Tips were invented in the 1920's by a Polish-born American named Leo Gerstenzang. It seems that Leo's lovely and beautiful wife had rigged up a different device to clean their baby's ears at bathtime - a toothpick stuck into a piece of cotton.
He founded a company, called the Leo Gerstenzang Infant Novelty Company, to market his new product. In 1926, he changed the name of the product from Baby Gays to Q-Tips Baby Gays, with the Q standing for quality. Eventually the Baby Gays part was dropped and the product was simply called Q-Tips. ^ 1  inventors. ^  Leo Gerstenzang, Anecdote databaseArchived July 16, 2012, at the Wayback Machine.
