  ... which just mixes and pushes it in more into your own personal fatberg...

    I want to please see a video showing how you do it to achieve that. Never mind that it'd be bad technique. I posit that it's actually not possible, that it is a scary story for kids on par with getting blind from masturbation.

  Eh, they really don't work well for cleaning the ear canal, though. I have ear canals that I thought needed to be cleaned regularly, until I stopped using Q-tips. Now they only seem to need to be cleaned once every 4 years or so (if I notice sound getting a bit muffled), with a syringe and sink full of warm water. I had thought the Q-tips were cleaning them, but were definitely causing more problems than they solved. (Ditto for ear drops, which didn't seem to help much. Just taking the time with a syringe & warm water is better). My pediatrician uses little metal tools to clean out the kids' ears if needed. Better than a blunt, soft thing that can't easily get wax out rather than push it in, though of course you'd better hold still.
