Buy cotton wool rolls from a regular pharmacy.

There are various brands of cotton wool rolls available in the supermarkets and the prices vary a lot, so some people may be tempted to go cheap. However, mothers are advised not to buy cotton wool rolls from informal brands, as some poor-quality cotton wool roll is made from bleached cotton, similar to black cotton, and white latex is added for a neat appearance, and the production site does not meet hygiene standards. The use of such cotton wool rolls, which are made of poor quality materials and do not meet hygiene standards, will not only fail to clean the body but may lead to an increase in illness. This is why mothers are advised to buy trustworthy cotton wool rolls from regular shops.

The first thing to look for when buying a medical cotton wool roll is the packaging label and product instructions.

There are generally two types of finished products supplied from the factory, one is non-sterile and the other is sterile. Medical cotton wool rolls packaged in an aseptic way can be used directly, while those packaged in a non-sterile way must be sterilized by high-temperature steam or ethylene oxide before they can be used. The first thing to look for when buying medical cotton wool rolls is the packaging label and product specification of the finished product: whether it is shipped in a sterile or non-sterile way, the product specification of the factory or the finished product packaging should state this. For medical cotton wool rolls packaged in an aseptic way, the package markings must include the sterilization expiry date, the factory date or production batch number, the instructions or logo for disabling the package breakage, and the single-use instructions or the no re-use logo. Check the expiry date of the product when purchasing and do not purchase or use any more if the packaging is found to be damaged.

Look at the appearance of the cotton wool roll product.

The cotton wool roll should be made of skimmed cotton. Medical skimmed cotton should be soft and elastic white fibers, free from color spots, stains, and foreign matter, odorless and tasteless. When buying, pay attention to the whiteness of the cotton, the whiteness of medical skimmed cotton should be no less than 80 degrees.

Look at the packaging label of the cotton wool roll.

When buying cotton wool rolls, pay attention to whether the packaging is sealed and whether it has the following markings: name and address of the manufacturer; product name; specifications; sterilization method; year and month of sterilization expiry; factory date or production batch number; instructions or markings on the prohibition of use if the packaging is broken; instructions for single use or markings on the prohibition of re-use; "Caution The wording should be by the relevant provisions of GB191, such as "lightly placed", "afraid of heat", "afraid of moisture", stacking limit, etc. The wording and markings on the outer packaging should ensure that they are not obscured by age.
