re: Is seeing yellow earwax in someone’s ear the grossest thing someone has not cleaned.

Using a Q Tip is terrible for your ears. You’ll just end up compacting all that wax and causing more problems than you solve.

Yep. I used them for years then one day I felt like I had water trapped in my ear. So much that I couldn’t get it out and couldn’t hear at all. Went to the Dr who put peroxide in it, then used the spray thingy to force out what was in there. I could not believe what it looked like. So gross.

Never used a Q tip again on my ears, but the cap of a Bic pen after showering every day works wonders.
