Dafuq would i use to clean my ears then?

[–] jawa21@startrek.website 3 points 1 year ago

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

Just wash them in the shower.

Not enough pressure to work

Nothing. Your ears are self-cleaning unless you got a medical condition.

bullshit. If i don't clean out the ear canals they get blocked entirely

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 mean, a qtip works tho

I have to clean my ears all the time because if I don't hello? Hello is anyone there HELLO?

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.
