Doctor suggested that shit to me and it fucked me up. Ear pain and itchiness inside your ear canal sucks balls. I’ll stick with the q-tips thanks.
It’s like they think you’re ramming the qtip into your ear like you’re loading a musket. No doc, that’s not how I do it. I can’t imagine anyone does that.
The main reason it happens is because of small sample size, publication bias, selective sample size of data and unclear explanation of methodology.
All in all its example of people NOT following the scientific methodology or the reaserch not being peer reviewed.
A study from 1990-2010 had a sample size of over 260 thousand people reported from different hospitals. Now explain how replication crisis applies to that study.
Pretty sure qtips do push the wax back as much as you may try not to. Using the wax removal may have done the same thing when you tried putting the bulb in your ear to flush everything. I just use peroxide instead since ear wax removal is just diluted peroxide, and the flush fully cleans my ear every time. Whenever i try using qtips i accidentally push the wax to the back. I also get large wax buildup very quickly so maybe not the same experience as you
That’s the thing really, People have different ears and different methods. I always run the qtip around the edges of my ear in a spiral motion while also twisting the qtip, but before I do so I check the twist of the qtip, if you pinch it and twist the shaft of the qtip, one direction will loosen the fibers while the other will tighten the fibers. I always twist in the direction that will tighten the fibers while it is in my ear.
Nobody instructed me on how to do it, but that’s just the way that works for me.
I’m with you, dude. I’ve used qtips nearly every day for decades. My wife was convinced I “had” to have a bunch of wax built up that was going to make me go deaf one day. So I bought a little WiFi ear cam…clean as a fuckin whistle.
I like to share a q-tip with a buddy as a fun bonding experience. Imagine the double-sided dildo scene from Requiem for a Dream, but with a q-tip instead of a double-sided dildo and our ear canals instead of our assholes.

50/50 mix of warm sterile water and hydrogen peroxide, wait 3 minutes, flush gently with one of those medical squeeze bottles, follow up with a q-tip when dry.
The things that come out are damn near demonic and you can hear colors when you're done.
I do it once a month or so.
I wear headphones 12+ hours a day and my doc says my ears are pristine.
As much as I fully recognize that using a water flosser would be a dumbass move, it certainly sounds like an amazing idea. Damn reality ruining me realizing my fantasy.
Had wax blockages a couple of times from using IEMs and the Dr recommended to regularly flush ears in the shower with warm water, which certainly helped. Basically, instead of stuffing the wax further into the canal with Q-tips, you kinda melt it down above ambient temperature and let it leak out with water. Gotta do it before the wax turns into an actual blockage though, as removing that would require a visit to the Dr

They tell me that q-tips are bad but the only time I’ve ever had my ears blocked by wax impaction was after using wax removal eardrops

pinkylovesme@reddit
I’m not a scientist pal.
But when I put the qtip in and wiggle it around, it feels good, and I don’t need a phd to know that.
DrakenDaskar@reddit
When I take a belt around my neck and jerk of it also feels great and i haven't had any lasting damage yet.
Does that mean it's risk free?

BoerDefiance@reddit
Just squirt the water/peroxide solution in with one of those squeeze bottles or what?
Electronic_Warning49@reddit
Use sterile warm water to flush but be gentle. Don't go crazy and use a fucking water flosser lol.
Also, please Google and YT for more references. It's muscle memory for me now and I know how things should feel for me while I do it.
