What I find works best is 1 old paintbrush that has all of the bristles worn
off, I have more than enough of those. And a surgical tool a swiped from a
Vet hospital (I didn't really swipe they told me if any one wants it take
it, it's used to lift nerves during disections or something) it has a nice
small blunt tip that is curved to get it between the legs. Never popped one
myself using this tactic.
