How far do you stick it in and how many times a week to do you clean them?

[cliaz]

My wife gets on my shizzle a lot because I clean my ears after every shower. She tells me that I am gonna go deaf cuz I stick the Q-tip inside the ear to get the wax out.

 

I know i'm not the only one here on the board who agrees with this but it feels really good. I love having clean ears. But my Dr also tells me that you should have some amount of wax in your ears because it traps dust and sh1t like that.

[Skippy]

I like to plunge in there as far as I can reach. I often make the other side hurt. Thats when I know I got in there deep enough.

[Coffeeman]

cliaz, you know its not for the clean - you do it for the 'eargasm'. I bet yer toes curl. You're an addict....

yeah it feels good. Get both ears going and have your wife or SO start making a glass of chocolate milk in front of you. Man there is nothing like hearing the clinking of the metal spoon against the glass as two Q-tips go deep into your head.

 

 

that has to be the weirdest sentence ever typed in the history of the world.

About 1/2 a q-tip deep, drives my wife crazy when I do it. What is even better is to stick it in my ear and walk around with it hanging out, that really makes her crazy

[Down Goes Frazia]

my doctor said the smallest thing I should stick in my ear is my elbow.... it's very easy to damage your inner ear.

[MikesVikes]

Don't stick things where they don't belong!

 

When you stick the Q Tip in there, you're actually shoving crap back into your ears. Your ears clean themselves, like a self cleaning oven. (Bad example, I never clean my oven.)

 

When I was young and stupid, I stuck bobby pins in my ear. They'd get the wax out. But my ears plugged up everytime I screwed with them. No bobby pins, no trouble. Bobby pins, trouble.

Is a jack hammer larger than my elbow?

[twiley]

I jammed a Q-tip too far into my ear in college and tore my eardrum. Nothing smaller than my elbow goes in there now.

[alexgaddis]

I was using a Qtip to clean my ear at my wifes request one time and it went too far in and my ear started to bleed...it was creepy....

 

we called the nurse line and they said NEVER use Qtips on your ears, they aren't made for that...

[Savage Beatings]

almost every day... but I never shove those suckers in very far

[Hardrocker]

What was the question???

 

 

I couldnt hear you...I was trying to get my elbow out of my ear!

Yep...my mother is a RN is the ear nose and throat field...q-tips are basically the worst thing you can do for your ears.

Seriously though.....is there ANYTHING that feels quite as sensual at a Doc's office than when they flush your ears out with warm water?

[Azazello1313]

eh, i kinda doubt it

 

anyway i clean mine fairly often, but not very deep.

yeah, getting em flushed with warm olive oil (worst headache i ever had when i was a kid, and that cured it almost instantly).

[The Holy Roller]

The wife has her own business (alternative health, essential oils, aroma therapy, massage, etc) and one of the things she does is ear candling. She uses a special hollow linen candle and lights one end. Then she puts the other end (duh) in the ear and the vacuum draws all kinds of crap out of your head. It's fairly common if you're into alternative healthcare.

 

 

Of course, she's crazy.

I was going to mention that, I have heard about it...since ear wax is well, wax...it works

I jammed a Q-tip too far into my ear in college and tore my eardrum. Nothing smaller than my elbow goes in there now.

 

 

 

I'd like to see that sometime

I could show you a couple of things.

[Pope Flick]

If you've never used wooden Qtips (kind of hard to find) you don't know what you're missing. Seriously.

 

Does candling really work? Or is it for the patchouli crowd only.....

Your ear too in addition to you nose was damaged in college? :ouch:

I'm trying to remember if the nose was broken in college. It's been broken so many times that they all blend together.

 

Over the fourth, we were at a party and I was leaning over to talk to the wife and she popped up and cracked me in the nose with her head. A sharp crack from my nose and some curse words followed. Damn nose is still a little sore.
