Cleaning your ears.

[Pres Zount]

So I was poking a stick in my ear and if I poked it in a certain way it made me cough.

weird.





What's the best way to clean your ears? I say a sharp pointy thing is best, and cotton buds and the like just push the wax further into your brain.

[Pres Zount]

Yeah.


Has anyone ever gotten a big clump of wax and then felt bad about throwing it out? Like it was a waste? Like it could be used for something?

[Pres Zount]

That's ear wax mum, christ.



So if you are poking your ears with a stick, don't smell the stick afterwards. It smells a bit waxy.

And don't run the wax through your fingers.

[Pres Zount]

Don't get it out of the bin to have one last look. Even though it was a big brown mother.

[marsdaddy]

Try a pretzel.

[jackrock]

Candy cane. But seriously doctors say the smallest thing one should but in your ear is your elbow.

[Whatitis]

LUMPS! Sorry, never had lump of wax in my ears.


Even though my Dad has told me to clean the lumps out of my ears but I don't think he ment it literally.

[Pres Zount]

Clumps :mad:

Like something you harvest.


Where has forks gone? I want to talk to Forks.

[tracky]

My technique these days is to get a tissue and pinch a bit at the center, twist that round to make a little point of tissue, then I stick that in there. I usually just do it to dry my ears, like if there's an annoying bit of wetness in there after I shower

[Funkyfreshgrape]

Yeah.

you're gross!

[Pres Zount]

Are you supposed to let the wax stay there?

[hardnox71]

I used to use the round end of a bobby pin.

[AdRockGRL]

I roll paper (bathroom paper) around my finger and then.. I clean!

[Lindsey_1535]

I went to school with a girl who picked her ears with keys, she then went on to eat the wax. It was gross.

[Pres Zount]

Okay I'm going to work now Forks.

Keep this thread alive.


Forks?



Forks...?



I'm counting on you forks.


...Forks?

[zorra_chiflada]

jesus christ joe this is sick. :mad:

[jabumbo]

i like to lean over a tall burning candle

[CrankItUp!]

I use a soldering iron when it gets really bad.

[jlees_mcsd]

I use the looped end of a bobby-pin. Works good.

[CrankItUp!]

Sometimes I use old toenail clippings to dig it all out.

ewwwwwwwwwwwww
I don't even want to know how you get belly button lint out. LOL

[CrankItUp!]

belly button lint ??? :confused:

[TurdBerglar]

it just rolls out of my ears all by itself

[jlees_mcsd]

belly button lint ??? :confused:
Nevermind


Chalk this up to another failed attempt at being witty.

[Dorothy Wood]

I scoop it out with my fingernail. then I wipe it under my chin.

[Dorothy Wood]

he gets belly button lint out with dried poop that's been fashioned into a poking/scooping apparatus.

[jlees_mcsd]

Well at least he is creative. :D

[CrankItUp!]

Do you mean "belly button boogers" ???

If its a hole that I dont rely on for farting , breathing , etc....then I just avoid fucking with it - although I actually did once. :D

Wow I really took that out of context LOL

I meant the fuzzy stuff that your belly botton collects. I have these ultra plush towels and it never fails that I have to dig gold lint from my belly button after I use them. It erks me.

[CrankItUp!]

Just put a cork in it like I have with mine. :cool:

[jlees_mcsd]

LOL or I could cover it with a bandaid. Yeah that would work. LOL

i have seen these scraper things in shops
i think they are for cleaning out ears
but yer, sometimes i use a pinhead

[hitmonlee]

i use a cotton bud but i'm not some kind of neanderthal who just shoves it in there and push the wax down, you gently insert it into your ear and use it to scrape around the edges.

one time i had really blocked ears and the doctorb used the blunt scissor type things and pulled out so much crap!

gross but cool

[mikizee]

ok here is the go:

as part of my sound production degree thingy i studied the inner ear for the best part of a year. the reason why u coughed when u put in the cotton thing too far is that you touched your eardrum!!! and thats bad!!!! very bad!!!!! can and will cause permanent hearing damage. NEVER EVER put a q tip or any other instrument in your ear. EVER. you will fuck it up yo!

best way to do it: for a proper clean, see your doc. they will clean them the proper way, which involves putting some sort of liquid in your ear and sucking it out with a syringe. or, go to a chemist, (or drug store for you seppo's that are reading) and buy a proper ear cleaner, called audiclean, or something along the lines of. that will sort you out. sticking things in your ear is baaad, mmmkay?

[hitmonlee]

i use a product called cerumol, bout $10 from any chemist

ps. syringing fucking hurts :(

[Pres Zount]

Whaaaa!!!?

I don't want to pay lots of money. :(


Looks like my wax is here to stay.

[na§tee]

you're only meant to use cotton buds to clean the external parts of your ear, but who the fuck listens to that, eh? i love it. totally orgasmic experience.

i have this sort of salt water ear pump thing i used when i had really bad ear ache (surely one of the worst common pains after hangovers and period pains, no?) that you are meant to use in the shower to "rinse" all the isht out. felt weird.

my flatmate spends most of her time on the couch with earfulls of warm olive oil at the moment - she maintains that will help the blockage. yeah, right!

[beastiegirrl101]

hydrogen peroxide. Pour some in and let it fizzle for a while...

[abcdefz]

I used to use the round end of a bobby pin.


This sounds like me, except I use a slightly unfolded paper clip.

Also Q-tips.


I had a friend who used to have to put meds in his ears because the wax built up so much. He'd put his drops in, lay on one side on a towel-covered pillow for a while, then lift up. He showed me one time -- the amount that came out was enormous -- like a stringy puss-yellow version of a wad of chewing gum.

[wanton wench]

well i was really wanting it to be lunch time.

reason #103 to be a member here-its a great diet.

[abcdefz]

I knowingly went too far. :D

[Lyman Zerga]

al bundy style :cool:

[wanton wench]

:D thats ok. i'll just chew my stringy puss yellow chewing gum instead of eating lunch. ;)

[abcdefz]

It's not as chewy as caramel. More like diaper snot. (y)
