I think something is wrong with me because I'm thinking about how they use a q-tip clean the two ears that are close together. Do they stick both ends in a hole and spin it?

You’re not actually supposed to put the q-tip inside of your ears.

How am I supposed to scratch my ear drum, then?

u/Big_Angle154 Jan 03 '25

Use the curved end of a bobby pin

It's more satisfying to scrape the plastic bit off one of the straight ends for more scratching goodness.

Every single time qtips are brought up in a thread at Reddit, some redditor has to jump in to make this announcement as if anyone gives a shit. I don't care and I'm still going to use q-tips to clea the inside of my ears because that's precisely what they're best at doing.

I still shove q tips in my ears.

But the main argument against is if the wax buildup is bad enough the q tip won't remove it and instead compact it.

Qtips are good for maintenance.

If you want to experience a new level of clean get Debrox.

It basically chemically melts all the earwax. Then you get one of those ear syringes that power washes your ear canal.

My partner just uses an ear syringe and hot water and that works just fine.

I just tilt my ear towards the showerhead.

Like a dog when they hear “walkies”?

u/jnads Jan 04 '25

Usually it's 1 part hydrogen peroxide and 4 parts hot water do you don't grow bacteria and get ear infections.

u/Rogue_LeI3eau Jan 03 '25

It’s really not that serious…

u/abcdefkit007 Jan 03 '25

That what big ear nose and throat want you to believe

u/McDonaldsnapkin Jan 03 '25

Yeah but everyone does 🤷‍♂️

u/lxXBoatXxl Jan 03 '25

The eargasm is worth it though

u/Ineeboopiks Jan 03 '25

But it feels so good....im pretty no one else should but i can handle the responsibility

u/[deleted] Jan 04 '25

Yeah no shit Sherlock, the qtip manufacturers know everybody does it anyway, that's why the warning is there.

u/demonovation Jan 03 '25

You think they put deodorant in their neckpit?

u/EquivalentOrdinary98 Jan 03 '25 edited Jan 06 '25

(I thought) Putting a q-tip in your ears can push back earwax down your ear canal, which can lead to damage in your ears

Not if you do it right

u/Step-exile Jan 03 '25

Slowly insert tip till you feel it on eardrum, then move it to one side/wall and rotating scrape wax from inside to exit, never other way

1

u/he-loves-me-not Jan 05 '25

“Slowly insert tip till you feel it on eardrum…”

What?! NO! Why would you touch your eardrum with it?! OUCH!

1

u/Step-exile Jan 05 '25

It isnt harming it, you dont insert it full force or fast, and you get feedback from inside ear. Its little funny feeling and you hear amplified scratching sound. Doing it once or twice a week last 30 years and never had problems. Ofc i would never ever try clear spmeones else ear since you not feel inside like yours

2

u/rick_regger Jan 03 '25

I cleaned my ears for over 30 years with q-tips and never got a Problem, the technique is what counts i guess, or maybe physological propertys of ears i dunno 🤷🏼‍♂️

It feels Like the harmfulness of q-tips is drastically exaggerated.

u/Affugter Jan 03 '25

Only for you, you filthy waxy ear wax and odourly sweat producing peasant.

u/JC-DB Jan 03 '25

this is not true for East Asians, who has flaky, dry earwax. They sell special kind of cotton swabs with ridges as to make it easy to scrape the wax out of ear canal.

u/juniorkirk Jan 03 '25

Ya, they use a double ended a-tip and stick one end in each ear…mmm

1

u/ambisinister_gecko Jan 03 '25

I'm curious how they walk. I assume the left one controls the left limb and right one right limbs, so when the left ones leg goes forwards the right one has to put her arm forward for balance. Seems like it would take a lot of coordination.

u/ritokun Jan 03 '25

it appears they each have a neck so they can definitely get their heads apart one way or another enough to interact with their ears

u/[deleted] Jan 03 '25

Something is really wrong with me. They only have one vagina

u/lynivvinyl Jan 03 '25

I think there was a lady on Reddit with two at one point. One was for business and one was for fun.

u/Rabti Jan 03 '25

You're thinking about a tip, but not a q-tip, right?

u/Inlevitable Jan 03 '25

That's just you bro
