A Q-tip is a piece of cotton swab located on a small stick used to clean your ears.
More: -tips® are the best-known brand of cotton swabs in Canada and the United States. Q-tip brand cotton swabs are manufactured by Unilever. Most commonly they are used for cleaning ears (though entering the ear canal to remove earwax is not advised, as stated on the package) or applying medicine or makeup.
It was first produced in 1923 after Leo Gerstenzang, the original founder of the Q-tips Company, observed his wife adding cotton to toothpicks. It was originally called Baby Gays and in 1926 was changed to Q-tips Baby Gays. Later the name Baby Gays was dropped. The "Q" in the name stands for quality.

It's a cotton bud, commonly used to clean ears - but specifically stated on the packet - NOT FOR CLEANING INSIDE EARS!
