Without seeing the other hand, we have no way of knowing that Q-tips caused this reaction.
The other Q-tip is up his urethra and it's spinning.
You didn't have to post this
It’s ok - it’s the urethra that’s spinning.
welcome back, meatspin
The universal clock of time.
Ohh jacking it pales in comparison to hitting the e spot.

Thought it was fake.
It's not fake.
Well, it's a pack of four sold third party so neither Amazon or Qtip brand uploaded the photo.
Looks like a Ferengi getting Oo-mox.
On reddit I'd have said unexpected DS9. But on Lemmy it's more unexpected not to have a Trek reference in the comments.
No, you shouldn't use them for ears.
We all know we shouldn't.
We all still do.
Some people downvoted me for this. 0.0
I didn't say not to have fun.
I think watching a couple audiologist videos where they dig out years of compacted q-tip cotton pressed against the eardrum might change their opinion.
That only happens to people with a very specific type of earwax.
Source: assumed everyone saying this online was correct and bought the camera myself to look. Sparkling clean despite using Q-Tips every day for most of my life.

Wait until you find out what people use 'back' massagers for.
I mean that one doesn't cause health issues so I'd recommend it over q-tipping ears

I dunno, looks worth it.
I’m convinced all the people who say that just have dry earwax.
I have wet earwax, and I’m miserable if I can’t clear my ears.
I have wet as well. And you shouldn't.
You might be getting some, but you are pushing the majority back into your ear. It's probably why you feel like you must keep cleaning them, because it's never actually getting out. Eventually you'll get a clogged ear, and if you haven't experienced that yet, it fuckin sucks.
Your ear will naturally push the earwax out. Think of your ear as a conveyor belt. When new skin is made it pushes the earwax down the ear canals.
Best thing to do is wash and clean the outside of your ears well everyday. You can use a Q-tip for that. Listen to music at a reasonable level, wear ear protection at concerts, and try to give your ears a break from headphones and earphones periodically.
If it's really bothering you, get some hydrogen peroxide or ear wax remover and put it in your ear for like 10 minutes. Then use a hand bulb with warm water. Don't do this all the time though.
I was experiencing some slight hearing loss because of a noisy environment at work. The audiologist looked in my ears and said she was worried that I might have done compacted earwax and asked if I used Q-tips. I sometimes did. She told me to stop and to clean them out by putting olive oil in each one, holding it for a while then letting it run out into tissue paper. I can't remember how much or for how long, but it definitely did the trick.
I can relate to the picture, very much, even though I don't use Q-tips any more.
I use drummer's ear buds now and they're great because my hearing recovered quite a lot, the tinnitus went away entirely and I can hear what people are saying when I'm wearing them.
Another person with wet earwax. I found a product that's like a little scoop that I use instead. Wash it and reuse it a few times, not one and done like Q-Tips.
Clinere or something like that? I dunno, I'm not a shill. Just find something for cleaning ears that's like a scoop instead of like a baseball bat...
Yeah I think it really depends on the type and consistency of your earwax. I’ve been using Q-Tips deep in my ears for my whole life, I assumed now at 32 I had impacted my hearing and had a treasure trove in there, so I bought one of those $20 WiFi ear cams with a scoop you can get from Amazon.
So disappointed, they were sparkling clean. Turns out my ears ARE effectively self cleaning which is why I use the Q-Tips, it helps clean out what my ears have already started ejecting, because that process is wet and itchy.

You tell that to this guy.
What's that I can't hear you? I'm q-tipping my ears.
Always will.
Some of us are just trying to live our lives. Then there's ear-fucking Q-tip perverts like this dude...
And me! I'm an ear-fucking pervert!
That dude look like he is having an orgasm.

Oomox. The Ferengi were right.
thats how you get a plugged up ear
Don't threaten me with a good time.
Package: Do not insert into ear canal!
Me:
"Variety of uses"
Perfect for pushing shit deeper down your ear canal
try dipping the end of the qtip in cold water first
Then try it with cold vodka. The alcohol evaporates faster than water, so it really has that strong cooling effect.
Edit: not joking. I actually do this, the alcohol helps dissolve and clean the waxy buildup too.
2nd edit: don’t fucking shove the Qtip into the canal like an idiot. It’s for the outer ear only, freaks.
