    Yeah, you have to be wary of using tips from Q, it can feel right but there are reasons for concern, misuse can cause unintended consequences.

      It would still be the standard issue Q-Tip, but by regulation you can not go deeper than the exterior.

          Talk with your doctor about that, but typically that shouldn’t happen under normal conditions, though some people’s ear canals are narrower where that can occur more often. There are proper unclogging medications you can use for that.

          I got the earwax but good. I usually abuse qtips too.

          But.

          If you want to really know what a clean ear canal is like, get a squeeze bulb. You fill it with hot water (hot like tap, not like boiled) and then hydroblast your ear holes until all the wax melts and runs out.

          When you get rid of a real bad wax ball… Aww man, it’s amazing. It’s like you just removed earplugs. The world is suddenly so much louder.

          Fuckin’ amazing.

          …scuse me, I think Imma go find my squeeze bulb.
