Saw a 24 pack of povidone iodine swabs for $1 at discount store. Q-tips with 1% P-I solution(i think). What do you think of something like this?

Very cheap.(from a Dutch standpoint)

.

Which store?

Not sure about the price but they are very good to use or wound care. Thought they will dry out after a year or two.
cheers

Dollar Tree, It was on the checkout counter. They are in a little plastic container -- says unsterile on the outside. but if they have P-I, shouldn't that kill anything on outside when broken open.

Directions
Reverse cardboard sleeve on swab. Crush ONCE between the thumb and forefinger at the dot located at the center of the swab. Gently squeeze swab to apply to the desired area. To avoid glass splinters, use only with paper cap completely in place.
