Tell me it ain't so, lol

Ya gotta go and spoil everything

The Q-Tip procedure is a developed fine art.

It's best when preformed as a preventive maintenance procedure multiple times a week.

It's common in what some consider to be their routine personal hygiene habits.

My ears produce lots of wax that needs cleaning out so it doesn't clog my hearing aids.
Those squeeze squirt things used to suck snot out of a baby's nose work very well for washing ears. A few drops of peroxide dissolves wax very well and is a lot cheaper than the commercial ear wax removers. Use the squirter to put a few drops of peroxide in then hold your head sideways for a few minutes to let it work. Then wash it out.
Once you get them clean, a weekly use of a q-tip with some mineral oil will remove small amounts of wax.

Once a month here but use a little squeeze bulb to flush

When we had babies I used about that same terminology - until our oldest, at about age 10 and having become somewhat polite, said: Daddy, the proper term is "nasal aspirator".

I kept that little bulb (bought in 1961) and still use it for ears and nose as others described.

Also saved a few of the cloth Curity diapers from those happy days - keep one or two in each saxophone/clarinet case for wipe down after playing.

Ears have been important - fingers, too.

Stinky old man syndrome, reverting to childhood again, don’t like to bathe, goes to gun shows smelling like cat pee and sour milk. Only wants to eat sweets and watch tv, stays in a recliner all day smelling like ass, laptop in lap, munching on Funyuns, farting. Poopie pants wearing a diaper.
Gets mad easily, fleas in beard, ice cream and crumbs in beard, never washes cock or ass crack. Wash cloth wipe down once a week. Wears same clothes for 2 weeks.

Wants to be called “Jerry” instead of Gerald.

Hearing aids come with a cleaning kit unless you got them from the As Seen On TV Store in Gstlinburg for $14.99 and you should maintain them weekly


If not, order some small dental micro bristle cleaning tips for using around your probably rotten last 3 teeth

Most doctors will tell you not to use q-tips because most people end up just packing the wax even worse.

Bullshit! All that does is pack it down even more!

This is my tool of choice. About every 2 months or so.

My ears make enough wax to do floors.

Well I fixed my ear wax problem in 2 days and I can hear ok again. I had already tried almost everything that was suggested (except for using a water pik) and I ended up using the DEBROX ear wax remover kit. The instructions say to put 10 drops each ear, put cotton in your ears so it won't run out, leave it in for a few minutes and then then flush your ears out with warm water. Do this twice a day for up to 4 days. The first time I waited 3 minutes and nothing came out of either ear. I got a very small amount out with q-tips. The next day I put 10 drops in my left ear while I was laying down so it would go all the way down and waited 5 full minutes. When I flushed my left ear with warm water big chunks of ear wax came out. The same thing happened with my right ear. The next day smaller chunks came out of both ears in the morning and no wax came out that evening.

I ordered a WIFI ear camera from Amazon $28.13 and it will work on your phone or laptop. When I get it and make sure I got all the ear wax out I'll go back to Costo for another hearing test.

Good. My medical provider, Kaiser, had me use mineral oil. Three drops in each ear for three minutes. Got most of it out. Need to do it once a week. When I shower, I rinse my ears with warm water.
I, too, used Q-tips for years. Got some out, but it packed the ears with wax over time. So, I don't use them deep inside my ears any longer. E

Slummy, Q-tips just pack it in tighter.
I just go to my nurse practitioner to get it removed.
Gets worse (more common) after you wind up with hearing aids.

Ever been talking to some old nasty fugg and when they turn sideways, it looks like peanut butter is oozing out of their ear hole?

Do some of you not have any body awareness…like “ohh I should take a shower, or blow your breath into your cupped hands? Oh I should brush my teeth before mixing it up with the public..

Only if you’re heavy handed and waited 6 months too long.

Don’t ram it in the as if youre packing a canon wad. Spin it in, spin it out, catch small bits of wax on the fibers. Cmon man

Still rams it in - trust me.
