Qtips are mainly for cleaning out your ears, right?

[2manband]

Despite what the stuffed shirts and corporate pinheads at BIG SWAB say, we all know the #1 use of qtips is cleaning out peoples ears.
Like millions of other consumers I occasionally risk my precious eardrums for a little of that sweet cottony eargasm. And I refuse to live in the shadows anymore!

I’ve done it everyday for 45 years.

Glenn Fricker (And doctors) say not to do it because it’s bad for your hearing. But if I don’t do it my ears get gross.

are you all jamming that thing inyer eardrums hole? The better way is the old iso alcohol and white vinegar mix

I do it once or twice a week in an effort to statistically decrease my chances of ear trauma. But I still do it

Psshhh. Battery acid and paint thinner or GTFO

Yeah right, next thing you know they'll say not to eat silica gel either...

We bought a tool specifically for cleaning out ears. I will use Q-tips for the outside of my ears only. They are also very handy for a lot of craft projects.

I use the butt ends of art paintbrushes.

I keep my pinky fingernail extra long for that job.

I don’t understand the “outside the ears only” camp (or warning label). If you’re cleaning the outsides why do you need a cleaner on a stick? Just use a washcloth or sumthin

Inside of the ear outside of the hole….the interior not the exterior

So the outside inside (or possibly the inner outside). But not the inside inside or outer outside.

I’m gonna invent a special tool for cleaning between your toes but not between the bottom or top of your toes, just in between the mid-toe area. Also it’s a cigarette but don’t smoke it cuz that would be dangerous and is totally not what it’s made for.

Q tips are good for cleaning out your weed vape too but make sure to turn it upside down first, don’t want rubbing alcohol going down the oven

Also fiddly bits of yer gun like the trigger assembly (USA! USA! USA!)

 

[Flamencology]

I still use them, once or twice a month, as needed. If used carefully and sparingly, it’s not too much of a problem.

Daily use is not only unnecessary and a bad habit, it’s just a really fucking stupid.

The men in my family produce a lot of wax so we have to regularly "Earigate" our ears.
I've been to the ER twice with impacted wax. These days I put hydrogen peroxide on a qtip and lay on my side and let it drip into the ear canal not actually inserting the qtip. Seems to work since I haven't been to the ER in about a decade.

Never heard of this, can you elaborate? mix ratio?

Never heard of this either. I've tried Debroxit, didn't work. Please elaborate too. Why not pour it in?

Q-tips are for beginners...you need a good ceti eel grub to get the job done
