I just purchased a used e flat clarinet and am wondering what to
do for a swab. Is there a special swab for an instrument this
size or should I use an oboe swab?

I also find the regular buffett swabs really ineffective and
troublesome. The cloth regularly gets caught in the inner keys.

My e flat is somewhat stuffy. It is a buffett..quite old..Could
it be me..the ligature..the mouth piece..the reed..the
instrument..or me?
