As someone who obviously enjoys picking at herself, how can you pass up on the pure pleasure of ear cleaning? I wish I had that much restraint, getting out such a monster must have been hugely gratifying. I have a hard time holding out long enough for anything to build up. I don’t understand this at all!

I actually talked to a nurse about them and she told me a horror story about using one and finding that the patient's ear had been blocked by a cockroach in the canal. Good thing she used the wax, since using force instead of vacuum would've probably pushed it in farther and made things worse. Yeah those beeswax candles work well.

It emulsifies the earwax, so you can more easily wash it out with water. Also, it makes cool popping sounds! Just don't do it too often, Hydrogen Peroxide tends to dry out your ear canal.
