Dont stop it feels so good!

Pretty sure that was the intended purpose of the thread title.

There's no real need to clean deep into your ear. Unless you pour dirt into your ear, or are gross and pick your ear all the time, the wax is going to be clear, especially if you just wash your ear a bit with a cloth in the shower.

Removing the actual wax is incredibly counterproductive. Wax is there to PREVENT dirt from getting deep inside your ear, and helps block infection as well. The acidic pH of earwax actually kills a lot of bacteria, preventing ear infections. Essentially, by cleaning your ear with a q-tip, you're actually making it "dirtier".

dont want to make a new thread for this..
can anyone come up with "warm", emotional slogan for donating blood.

tried to quote Aristotle on his philosophy, that donating blood is a virtue but couldnt find anything.

your help is much appreciated, Qtip-in-Ear-Fettish community m(_ _)m

[Deigo]

I use q-tips every day after I shower to remove any visable earwax I may have missed. Aside from that I do a process called "ear coning" a few times a year that helps in many other ways besides removing unwanted ear debris. For more info on ear coning visit this site.

Ear Coning

*Not a sales pitch, just tossin some info out there.

[Faris]

fuck...i thought you guys were talking about Billiards' Q-tips in ears...wowowowowow im fucked up. Why did i think that, i really dont know.
I thought those things were called cotton buds. This is were i can blame language barriers?

anyways, blood donation slogans if you may.

No offense, but doing ear coning, especially yourself, is incredibly dangerous and stupid.

I do not do it myself. I'd be afraid of settin myself on fire or something, so I have a neighbor do it for me and he is a doctor. Now, whether it's stupid or not to do it in the first place is a matter of opinion. I do not see any downfalls to doing this, only the benefits as listed on the site. If you do have information about this being detrimental please do not refrain from posting it.

Ears are serious business.

They really are. Being deaf would suck. Could you imagine not being able to listen to music because you CLEANED YOUR EAR TOO WELL?

But it feels so goooood. Besides, that time you normally spend listening to music you can spend with 100 spinning q tips in your ear because you don't have to worry about damaging it any more.

It's ok to clean your ear, just stick to the pinna (outside part) and clean off the dead skin that flakes off and falls in there. Misterbobs right though about not cleaning to deeply, more than making it dirty you can do serious damage to your ear drum and it's really not out of the question for you to burst your ear from using the q-tip to deep.

And those of you who put liquids on the q-tip and then go in, that is the worst of all introducing things into your ear socket, you're increasing your risk quite a bit.

true story:
i was once cleaning both my ears simultaneously with 2 q-tips, and my mobile rang. I answered ;;

It was painful...

[Vedder]

Best is when you slightly moisten the end of the Q-tip and separate it a bit from the stick... then you can put it in there and hit the Q-spot just right.

Protip: Reach around the back of your head with your free hand and pull your ear back some while hitting the Q-spot... sometimes when I'm standing up, I have to sit down if I do that.

[Daahan]

People are stupid if they put a Q-tip in their ear and vigorously scrub around like they're on a mission of destruction. You can clean your ears without damaging them if you're slow and careful about it and you can get them to be equally as clean.

[Senji]

People are stupid.

I went to that ear coning FAQ site and closed the tab as soon as I saw the word "Toxins".

[Kyreth]

It feels good until you have dig deeper to get all that crap that sticks way on the inside.

Until you push all the earwax back into the ear and it gets infected and clogged. Painful as shit... Makes your ear really hot and gives you abad headache.

Been there, done that, and FUCK does it hurt. For weeks if not treated.

[Bagel]

I went to that ear coning FAQ site and closed the tab as soon as I saw the word "Toxins".

Yeah, I groaned when I saw that as well. I read a bit further though, really liked the part where it says "It is said that the Amish practice coning," like they're some mystical race from a far off galaxy that we don't know anything about.

Well that actually could be the case if you consider the internet community being the ones speaking >.>

Too lazy to quote one from your last page about Blood Slogans.

"Share your life, Make dreams happen. Donate Blood"




Holy shit, i dont think that can be anymore bad of a slogan -_-

[Iono]

So iono how many of u gonna believe this one, but I'ma tell it anyways.

One time when I was around 13-14 (in Thailand), I was digging around in my ear and I came out with some ball type thingy that was made out of basically scar stuff. Only found one in one of my ears, I tried to find the other one in the other ear but couldn't find it and didn't want to force it.


I used to do it with an earpick, toothpicks, and ,recently, stretched out paperclips.
