I would use it as a pipe cleaner? In the stem & mouthpiece...
What else would you use it for?

Nope. But I was just wondering how to use this type of pipe cleaner like which side to use first ?
Monday, Wednesday and Saturday you are supposed to use the blue / wider end first. Tuesday, Thursday, Friday use the white / narrow end first. Sunday use the bristle cleaners for deep cleaning and then follow up with regular pipe cleaners.
Alright. Could I just only use the blue white pipe cleaners without the regular pipe cleaners ?
Doesn't matter which end. Also, it might not work well as some of the colored pipe cleaners are really made for children's crafts. Try it and see how it works. BTW, Where are you located?
Now see, I think like you do. Though, my 23 yr old soon to graduate college daughter messed my head up with this one the other day. She got in the truck with me to go to the store, as usual I had a lit pipe in my face. As we started down the driveway she looked down in the console and then looked me square in the eye and said “oh cool, you have pipe cleaners…….what do you make with them”?
So it's okay to just use the blue white pipe cleaners without using the normal pipe cleaners? And I'm located in Singapore. Hbu ?
I'd use ones made specifically for cleaning pipes, which are generally white and made of cotton (I like the BJ Longs brand in the round bundles). The craft ones are generally colored and made of polyester, which isn't absorbent. But if the blue-white ones are much cheaper, try them and see how they do. I'm in the NW corner of the USA.
This is what kids do with them:

In all reality though, does the blue side feel different than the white? Is one side bristly or stiffer?
The blue white pipe cleaners are actually from savinelli but it doesn't go all the way from the tenon to the mouthpiece and I bought like 2 packs of itI'd use ones made specifically for cleaning pipes, which are generally white and made of cotton (I like the BJ Longs brand in the round bundles).

On a serious note, the blue side is more abrasive and is intended to help scrub. The white side is soft and more absorbent. Use the blue side to scrub any gunk or detritus first and the white to sop up any residual moisture.
Do you mean from the mouthpiece to the bowl? If so, and it's a bent pipe, sometimes you can bend the last 1/4" of the cleaner and then turn it as you press and then it will go through. The other option is to use a little riffler file to smooth the path so the pipe cleaner will pass all the way through. If you do mean from the tenon to the mouthpiece, then you have some type of obstruction in the stem.
