Ever had q tips ends come off in the ear?

[Newhead]

I have had it happen twice, first time I was able to use a hairpin to remove it myself, second time I had to see a doctor because it was so far in, he reached in with a long metal thing and grabbed it. I was so terrified I rushed out of the house like emergency because it was in the ear that has a bad nerve that hurts. Has this ever happened to you?

[MORPHEUS_12]

Yes, when I used a cotton swab from a cheap dollar tree like store. Never again.

QTips are bad for that and belive me dont screw around with your ears. If, you want to hear. When showering or bath just wave you ear in a warm shower, wave it ny where little water goi in your are. The warm water softens and falls out naturally. If you have problems with ear eax then go yo a ENT who can get wax out safely

[Feelicks]

No, but you're not supposed to use them like that anymore for just this reason.

[Newhead]

So what were they created for?

[Feelicks]

Cleaning shallow wounds.

[Newhead]

Huh, you sure bout that?

[Feelicks]

I know some people use them to clean their labial folds or foreskin.

[Feelicks]

But about the wound thing, Yeah I learned it in a first aid course.

[Newhead]

Labia, lmao I don't have labia folds anyway but who does that? just wash it with your hands like normal human beings.

[Feelicks]

Some people do have very intricate deep labia that require extra maintenance LoL... I'm friends with a dermatologist, she tells me weird shit 😄

[Feelicks]

And the foreskin one is for people who's skin is so tight it's a medical problem.

[Newhead]

Ok, pineapples.

[Feelicks]

Oh and little torches for my lego witch burning diorama.

[Feelicks]

Pineapples?

[Smashingdoozy]

No, I'm not stupid and don't put q tips in my ears because drs literally tell you not to?

[Newhead]

What's so stupid about that? I don't use them anymore because I am scared it will happen again but why do they make them for that reason, if they come off in your ears?

[Smashingdoozy]

It literally says on the box to not put them in your ear.

[Wiredone]

I had it almost happen to me a few times. I don't think they are Rolling the cotton tight enough. It never came off in the past.

[EaterPeter]

No. Never. Glad. Scary.

[EaterPeter]

Thanks for like!

[EaterPeter]

Do you use particular brand?

[EaterPeter]

I use q tips right after the shower 🚿

[Newhead]

No, I usually use any type as long as it look sturdy enough, but I don't think I will ever use one again after that ordeal.

[EaterPeter]

Be safe

[EaterPeter]

May I ask if you are in US or UK?

[Newhead]

I am in Jamaica.

[EaterPeter]

If you ever use q tips use good brand and use it right after shower don't push too hard in ear canal

[Ripper_E]

Many times. Usually cheap generic brands.

[chriscdi]

[ItsMeItsMe1989]
