If you ever had see the what actually comes out of your ears, you’d be embarrassed. Think about all the time you shove that Q tip in, pushing in the wax that’s accumulated over the years. I once had my ears clean in a barbershop in Vietnam. The girl put on one of those coal mining flash light and went to town. I couldn’t believe what she dug up when I saw it.

Using a Q Tip is terrible for your ears. You’ll just end up compacting all that wax and causing more problems than you solve.

I've used Qtips with rubbing alcohol or peroxide all my life and no doctor has ever had difficulty visualizing my eardrums. Some people can use them effectively.

Yep. I used them for years then one day I felt like I had water trapped in my ear. So much that I couldn’t get it out and couldn’t hear at all. Went to the Dr who put peroxide in it, then used the spray thingy to force out what was in there. I could not believe what it looked like. So gross.

Never used a Q tip again on my ears, but the cap of a Bic pen after showering every day works wonders.

I have cleaned/dried my ears with a qtip for well over 25 years. I get down in there a touch too, I have never had a problem and while my vision is going to shite, I can hear fine. I guess I am dodging that terrible qtip bullet.
