What are people supposed to use if not Q-tips? I'm actually wondering cause I use Q-tips after every shower
Edit: I've been informed and read up at bit on it (thank you for the links too). I may also need to look into an ENT Dr. Now haha. So long good feeling of Q-tips
Q tips are wide as fuck to prevent people from injuring themselves easily i think. Really what you need is something thinner that has hook like properties and there are kits with those. Still gotta be really careful with that ofcourse. Make sure no people are around to jump scare you and causing you to accidentally ram that thing into your eardrums.
At some point i just bent a piece of wire into a loop to use that. (toothpick for scale) Thats not stainless steel tho so its gonna corrode.
But going to a professional once a year or so is probably not a bad idea either.
I unfold paperclips and use the smaller end. One caveat that make me realize it's not the best idea: the point I unfolded can break. I've never lost one in my ear, but I could imagine it happening.
You people shouldn't be trusted with your health.
I just let a goat graze in my ear until it's not hungry anymore
What... uhh what are you doing with that toothpick?
For scale
Yeah i was expecting someone to be worried about that lol
You jam that into your ear canal in lieu of a q-tip
