:non-linty. Has anyone done any research comparing, say, chamois, silk,
:and cotton? How about personal experience? Most of the professionals I
:see either on stage or in town use silk ones.

I have personally found that silk swabs work best. They are very absorbant,
and don't make a mess. Cotton swabs are okay, though they get stuck inside a
lot mroe than my silk one. Synthetics, don't bother, not worth it.
