Q-tips push wax deeper into the ear -- much more wax than they get out. In fact, q-tip packages say nothing whatsoever about earwax removal; they refer to the tips as "applicators," intended for rubbing stuff on. Q-tips do happen to fit in ears, which somehow led to the belief that they're good for removing wax; they're actually completely useless for this purpose.

Yeah, but it feels sooo good. I feel like I'm scratching the world's deepest itch.

Is this too weird? :)

I was curious what you'd think about this one, given your intense veneration for q-tips. My opinion on earwax removal has always been,

"Can't reach with finger?
Let it linger."
