Refillable Cotton Swab is inspired by the idea of the pencil with refills. We usually use only one side of the swab and then throw it away because the other side is touched by our hand. It is wasteful. Refillable Cotton Swab contains the swab handle as a pencil and the swab heads as refills. Inside the swab handle are three additional swab heads.
After a swab head is used, simply refill a new swab head from the end of the swab handler and this will push out the used swab head. All you need to throw is the used swab head, instead of the whole swab. Moreover, this can scale down the space of swab storages. This is economical and ecological.
