I'm an addict but I love to clean my ears out with Q-tips!

Who else loves the Q-tip?

[Redstone]

1. Never put anything smaller than your elbow in your ear.

2. Does once a day count?

:hi:

If I go out of town and forget them, I have to buy some.
Hi, I'm Ruth, and I'm wanting a swabbing.

[LynneSin]

4. Hello Ruth! Feel free to just let it all out

:pals:

[Mutley]

3. Well, I don't have 'em in every room,

but I do use 'em every day.

[LynneSin]

5. Do you use them cause there is wax in your ears or because it feels good

:shrug:

[ChoralScholar]

7. I do it so often, that there's rarely any wax.

It does feel good.

[Mutley]

9. Both.

:P

[Aristus]

6. I'm a twice-a-day guy.

I hate the feel of greasy, waxy ears.

My ears are so clean, you could perform surgery in there.


But...only on little, teeny, tiny people. :+

[LynneSin]

8. That clown could use a nose job

is your ear available tomorrow?

[Aristus]

15. Actually, we've just completed the procedure. Would you like to see?

Before: :+

After: :boring: Shhhhh! The anesthetist hasn't brought him out of it yet.

[ChoralScholar]

10. When I was in high school

a girl I was making out with told me my ears were dirty. I was so embarrassed that I became a habitual Q-Tipper.

[LynneSin]

13. Peer pressure gets you every time with Q-tip addiction

My mother was the one who took me down that seedy road. But she went hardcore - she uses bobby pins too

[ChoralScholar]

14. My dad used his car keys

also a paper clip turned inside-out.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

11. Well, I'm not that far gone, but I do use them daily.

I also once made my stepbrother almost start crying due to Q-tips. I stuck one through my earlobe and walked into his room saying, "it's stuck, you've gotta help me." He freaked out, then walked up me, right before he grabbed it, he started tearing up. I pulled it out and said, "Merry Christmas!"

Yep, that was my Christmas morning greeting to my stepbrother last year. I'm evil, but he's a total wimp.

[Placebo]

12. Me!

I use 'em in the mornin', in the evenin', and lotsa times in between. :D

[AngryAmish]

16. I'm reformed

You have to stop. You will impact the wax in your ears. It will hurt when it finally comes out. Stop, now. Go to an ENT and clean them good once. Then never again.

[ThingsGottaChange]

17. Aaahh! Nothing like a good ear orgasm! nt

[Skittles]

18. I send boxes of them to the troops

yup

[LynneSin]

19. The troops need all the good will that we can send them

and if Q-tips help the cause then you're a better person for it!

[nosillies]

20. I buy copious amounts at my local warehouse club store

I once found myself without them in a foreign country. Try finding Q-Tip in those little translation books. I freaked.

But I'm much more addicted to dental floss. That's a major problem for me. At any given time, I have about 6 or 7 thingies of floss going -- office, purses, car, gym locker, etc.

[LynneSin]

21. I'm addicted to those pre-flossed plastic sticks thingies

I don't even use the handle that comes with them - I can floss my teeth and when I'm done I can use the pick end to stimulate the gums.

I must do it 3-4 times a day

[nosillies]

22. No one could ever argue that we are not clean and presentable at

all times. Regardless of our possible OCD, we vow to be fresh and unoffensive.

[In_The_Wind]

23. I can't live without 'em.

[Hugin]

24. It's only a matter of time 'till the T.S.A. bans them from Carry-on.

I hope you realize.

[madinmaryland]

25. Q-tip Heads?? ---->

[LynneSin]

26. Ewwww - is that ear wax on top

EWWWWWW

[1gobluedem]

27. I am a certified Q-Tip abuser

So says my otolaryngologist when he is tweezing cotton from deep within my ear. I can't help myself!

[Benfea]

28. You're not supposed to put those in your ears.

Although once in a while I still do.

[catmandu57]

29. After every bath

look out ears here come the tips.

[GalleryGod]

30. I Had ear drum surgery 4 years ago...my surgeon told me he

gets lots of business from you folks.
Shove it in! Work it all around !:rofl: :spray: :rofl:

[LynneSin]

31. You stop once you feel resistence

Come on, didn't your mom teach you that?

:crazy:

[Hell Hath No Fury]

32. I use them at least once a day...

sometimes twice, if my ears are extra gross.

I know that I am not supposed to dig around in there with a swab, but I have terrible allergies and sometimes my ears just itch like crazy -- a cottom swab does the trick (I call the resulting delicious feeling "eargasms"). And my ears really do get dirty a lot -- there isn't a time when I swab that it doesn't come out with crud on it.

Just reading this thread has made me want to get a Q-Tip fix!!!

[Phillycat]

33. Your ears are self-cleaning

You should never put Q-tips or anything else in your ears.

[RedStateShame]

34. I was always a bigger fan of Phife Dawg...

Oh, those. Nevermind.

[WolverineDG]

35. Okay, I swab sometimes

after I take a shower. And, like another poster, when my ear feels itchy.

Oh, and one of my cats LOOOOOVES to play with Q-tips (clean ones, of course).

[Hell Hath No Fury]

37. I have a cat...

named Grrlie who loves to eat used Q-Tips! She snatches them from the bathroom garbage cat and chews on the tips. :scared:

And them she kisses me. :)

She is soooo gross sometimes....

[WolverineDG]

40. Mine goes after the used ones too

although I try to hide them in the trash can. Sometimes, she goes "dumpster diving." :eyes:


dg

[Pool Hall Ace]

36. Yes, after a shower.

Around the outside of the ear, too.

I know you're not supposed to do it, but it feels so good! :dilemma:

[ComerPerro]

38. God Yes.

DIY eardrum massage.

[kwassa]

39. I like his music, but I wouldnl't consider myself an addict
