    Me using qtips like corkscrews in my ears and always having clean unclogged ears : I think it all depends on your waxiness and your ear canal shape 🤷

    I often have ear issues and one of the docs has adviced against using them because they were made for facial cosmetics application or something like that. Hmm… and I still use them occassionally to clean my ears. I guess, their purpose isn’t strictly defined after all.

    they are for … cleaning small areas with a little bit of cotton.

    An actual medical recommendation was to use them to clean my baby’s belly button while the umbilical cord was falling off.
