Sumifun Iodine Cotton Swabs prepare skin before piercing with controlled iodine delivery. Each cotton stick holds iodine solution inside the stem and releases it to the tip after you snap the marked ring. This gives a focused application on the exact pierce site.
Every swab is individually wrapped for hygiene and stock control. The wrapper protects the cotton tip during storage and transport. Piercers open one wrapper per client, treat the skin, and discard the swab in clinical waste.
Features
Pre-loaded iodine solution inside the hollow stem
Designed for pre-piercing skin preparation and small wound care
Individually wrapped for hygiene and easy issue per client
Compact format for studio stations and travel kits
Single-use design that supports cross-contamination control
Pre-piercing skin sterilisation
Iodine reduces surface bacteria on the skin when used as directed. Sumifun Iodine Cotton Swabs focus iodine on a small target area before piercing. Use on clean, dry skin before insertion of body jewellery on ears, nose, navel, or other body sites managed in a professional studio.

Questions & Answers
Q: Are Sumifun iodine swabs single-use?
A: Yes. One swab serves one client and one session and then goes to clinical waste.
Q: When do you use these swabs in a piercing workflow?
A: Use after marking the pierce site and before piercing. Apply iodine, allow the skin to dry, then proceed with piercing.
Q: Are these swabs suitable for professional studios?
A: Yes. The single-use format, individual wrappers, and controlled iodine delivery support professional piercing practice in licensed studios.
Q: Do these swabs replace other disinfectants?
A: No. They cover the skin prep step only. Studios still need approved surface disinfectants, single-use needles, and compliant waste management.
