thats how you get a plugged up ear

Eol,

Don’t threaten me with a good time.

lettruthout,

This post made my ears itch. Luckily I do have Q-tips handy.

Num10ck,

try dipping the end of the qtip in cold water first

model_tar_gz,

Then try it with cold vodka. The alcohol evaporates faster than water, so it really has that strong cooling effect.

Edit: not joking. I actually do this, the alcohol helps dissolve and clean the waxy buildup too.

2nd edit: don’t fucking shove the Qtip into the canal like an idiot. It’s for the outer ear only, freaks.

rez_doggie,

Why not isopropyl?

model_tar_gz,

Sure, you can use IPA. It’s more toxic than ethanol but in the very small amounts we’re talking here it’s a negligible difference.

Agent641,

I prefer a pilsner, myself.

MSugarhill,

You haven’t lived as long as you did not try Amaretto…

model_tar_gz,

I’m more of a mead guy, myself. Completely unrelated, I also listen to Norwegian metal while munching on rye crackers.

Empricorn,

Some of us are just trying to live our lives. Then there’s ear-fucking Q-tip perverts like this dude…

Asclepiaz,

And me! I’m an ear-fucking pervert!

TubeTalkerX,

Looks like a Ferengi getting Oo-mox.

then_three_more,

On reddit I’d have said unexpected DS9. But on Lemmy it’s more unexpected not to have a Trek reference in the comments.

CaptObvious,

Without seeing the other hand, we have no way of knowing that Q-tips caused this reaction.

@dumbass@leminal.space avatar

Ohh jacking it pales in comparison to hitting the e spot.

Eol,

I’m going to creat vibrating q-tips.

dumbass,
@dumbass@leminal.space avatar

Yes I need something like that, I have a spot that needs pressure and friction to relive and one day I’m gonna unravel one and get it stuck in my ear.

some_guy,

The other Q-tip is up his urethra and it’s spinning.

kyle,

You didn’t have to post this

Hobbes_Dent,

It’s ok - it’s the urethra that’s spinning.

MonkderDritte,

No, you shouldn’t use them for ears.

CosmicTurtle0,

We all know we shouldn’t.

We all still do.

MonkderDritte,

Some people downvoted me for this. 0.0

I didn’t say not to have fun.

odigo2020,

I think watching a couple audiologist videos where they dig out years of compacted q-tip cotton pressed against the eardrum might change their opinion.

That only happens to people with a very specific type of earwax.

Source: assumed everyone saying this online was correct and bought the camera myself to look. Sparkling clean despite using Q-Tips every day for most of my life.

realitista,

I dunno, looks worth it.

Imgonnatrythis,

You tell that to this guy.

Wait until you find out what people use 'back' massagers for.

Droggelbecher,

I mean that one doesn’t cause health issues so I’d recommend it over q-tipping ears

brbposting,

Maybe some loss of sensitivity / difficultly for a human partner later?

Droggelbecher,

Looked it up out of curiosity and apparently that cant happen, at least not permanently. Worst thing that can happen is that you form too strong an association between the object and arousal for them to be seperate.

brbposting,

Thanks. I wasn’t thinking permanently.

If a vibrator is one’s daily driver, then partner intimacy occurs one day, could have an effect there.

TrickDacy,

Always will.

DolphinMath,

I’m convinced all the people who say that just have dry earwax.

I have wet earwax, and I’m miserable if I can’t clear my ears.

shinratdr,
@shinratdr@lemmy.ca avatar

Yeah I think it really depends on the type and consistency of your earwax. I’ve been using Q-Tips deep in my ears for my whole life, I assumed now at 32 I had impacted my hearing and had a treasure trove in there, so I bought one of those $20 WiFi ear cams with a scoop you can get from Amazon.

So disappointed, they were sparkling clean. Turns out my ears ARE effectively self cleaning which is why I use the Q-Tips, it helps clean out what my ears have already started ejecting, because that process is wet and itchy.

Spaceinv8er,

I have wet as well. And you shouldn’t.

You might be getting some, but you are pushing the majority back into your ear. It’s probably why you feel like you must keep cleaning them, because it’s never actually getting out. Eventually you’ll get a clogged ear, and if you haven’t experienced that yet, it fuckin sucks.

Your ear will naturally push the earwax out. Think of your ear as a conveyor belt. When new skin is made it pushes the earwax down the ear canals.

Best thing to do is wash and clean the outside of your ears well everyday. You can use a Q-tip for that. Listen to music at a reasonable level, wear ear protection at concerts, and try to give your ears a break from headphones and earphones periodically.

If it’s really bothering you, get some hydrogen peroxide or ear wax remover and put it in your ear for like 10 minutes. Then use a hand bulb with warm water. Don’t do this all the time though.

otp,

Another person with wet earwax. I found a product that’s like a little scoop that I use instead. Wash it and reuse it a few times, not one and done like Q-Tips.

Clinere or something like that? I dunno, I’m not a shill. Just find something for cleaning ears that’s like a scoop instead of like a baseball bat…

MonkderDritte,

There’s evidence that manually cleaning earwax stimulates production of even more earwax (plus pieces of wool). Though i guess there’s cases where the self-cleaning function of the ear isn’t as effective. Showering in your ear doesn’t help?

@edgemaster72@lemmy.world avatar

What’s that I can’t hear you? I’m q-tipping my ears.

MudMan,

Thought it was fake.

It's not fake.

Tikiporch,

Well, it’s a pack of four sold third party so neither Amazon or Qtip brand uploaded the photo.
