DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0016] As discussed above, embodiments of the present disclosure relate to an application device and more particularly to a pre-moistened swab system as used to improve the application and general use of various solutions by providing a pre-moistened cotton swab device.

[0017] Generally, a pre-moistened swab system is a cotton swab with a tip pre-moistened in a variety of solutions. The invention is comprised of approximately 3 long plastic rod with a cotton-covered tip. The tip is dipped into a solution. In some embodiments, the solutions include any one or any combination of a makeup remover, an ear cleaning solution, petroleum jelly, hydrogen peroxide or rubbing alcohol, an anesthetic solution, and an antibiotic ointment. The cotton swab packages are sealed to retain their moisture. It enables users to clean the face, moisturize dry lips, remove ear wax buildup, disinfect small wounds, numb the skin, and treat small cuts. The product affords convenience and ease in everyday life by providing pre-dipped swabs that can be used at home or taken on the go. The present invention eliminates the clutter associated with storing bottles of multiple solutions in a bathroom cabinet or luggage.
