The cotton plug, commonly associated with the use of cotton balls or swabs, doesn't have a specific inventor or discoverer attributed to it. Instead, it evolved over time as cotton became widely used for various medical and personal hygiene purposes. The modern cotton swab was patented by Leo Gerstenzang in the 1920s, who created a small stick with cotton on both ends, which popularized its use.
