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.
By 1925 everything was ready to go. Leo Gerstenzang marketed his first cotton bud under the name Baby Gays. As he felt the name was not easily marketable, he changed the name to Q-tips Baby Gays in 1926 and then later to Q-tips. Q stands for quality and tips for the cotton wool tips. Over the course of time, more novel ideas occurred to him.
