Cleaning nostrils is an essential part of nasal hygiene routine. It is recommended that cleaning is performed every day. However, most people are used to clean nostrils with their fingers and clean teeth with a toothbrush or a dental floss.
Firstly, there is not a convenient or better tool available to clean nostrils, and the situation makes most people still use their fingers to do it. If the gaps or crevices under their fingernails are not as sanitary as expected, the side-effect may make nasal cavities infected by bacteria, furthermore, the fingernails are probably sharp enough to hurt the nostrils. Secondly, picking booger with fingers may enlarge nostrils because fingers are often thicker and may make their nose shapes not as beautiful as expected. Thirdly, there is not a both-in-one suitable tool to conveniently and sanitarily clean both nostrils and oral cavity. Therefore, after cleaning tooth, most people are still used to clean nostrils with fingers. Accordingly, there is a need of simple and sanitary means for nasal and/or oral cleaning.
