Q-Tip Poll:

[74bigblock]

Yes... the things you use to clean out your ears... and 1001 "other" uses.

Just wondering if anyone has a Q-Tip Fetish like me? I can't help myself. I go nuts if I can't Q-tip for more than 36hrs. How about you?

[Chas]

74bb, YOU ARE THE WINNER!

...for the craziest poll ever. Your surprise gift is in the mail. A Lifetime supply of Q Tips!

OK, I'll confess. If I can't dry out my ears after a shower, it ruins my whole day. I have a small supply of q tips in every overnight bag, because I've been burned on weekend trips when I forgot.

I kid you not. And now you know my dirty little secret.

p.s. I didn't vote because I don't stick them in all the way. :L

When my three sons were young - (under 8), I cleaned their ears with Q-Tips. They hated it with a passion, so much it became a family joke and my wife made me a red cape with a Large image of a Q-Tip on the back. From that point I had a new nickname - Captain Q-Tip. Just our familys humor......

[74bigblock]

You know... I used to love the Q-tips with the wooden sticks. They dont deflect as much.. better to get that itchy feeling out. I haven't seen them in the stores recently... and when I did, it was always like the 50 count. Who the hell buys 0 Q-Tips? I feel weird buying anything under 400 count.

[82ColEd]

At least now i know what the monkey is looking at..
"I didnt think you could use a Q-Tip there ?!?" ;LOL

[RodsnRides]

"Now I know what the monkey is looking at"

Betcha didn't know that they used to be called "Baby Gays".



Fact or fiction?

In March 1997, Brian Crenshaw, a chemical engineer from West London, returned to the UK after spending the previous six months overseeing work at a petrochemicals plant in Nigeria. During his first week back, his wife complained that he seemed to have difficulty listening properly. Brian suggested that his ears had not fully recovered from the air pressure changes experienced during his flight. Over the next two weeks, Brian's condition worsened as he started to feel tickling sensations deep in his ears. Thinking the trouble was caused by loosened ear wax, he attempted to clean his ears with a ballpoint pen. When he pressed it into his right ear, he heard a cracking sound and saw the pen covered in a yellow goo.

He went to his local GP claiming had punctured his ear drum. The GP reached into Brian's right ear with a pair of tweezers and pulled out what appeared to be an insect antenna. During the examination Brian was horrified to learn that he had a total of 5 African cockroaches living in his head. Four cockroaches were alive and one cockroach was dead, presumably crushed by Brian's pen attack.


An investigation revealed that when Brian was in Nigeria, a female African cockroach must have laid numerous eggs in the toiletries bag where he kept his Q-tips. When he was cleaning his ears, he was also transferring the cockroach eggs to his inner ear where they started to hatch.

[My Prozac]

Quick tip when you feel pressure on the Q-tip stop pushing in.

[jrose7004]

Why yes, I use them everyday!:L

[74bigblock]

C'mon... 227+ views and only 31 of us can share one of their innermost secrets?? It's Q-tipping at its finest! C'monn!!! VOTE!

[XLR8]

I must be losing it! Almost 12:30 AM and here I am responding to a post about QTips. OMG ;shrug

And I've heard the Cockroach story before... yuck! :eek

BTW - I love 'em too. When I clean my li'l ears with 'em, it feels so good it makes my eyes cross. :crazy

[Chrisr]

I used to use 'em. In fact I don't think I could go a day without using a Q-Tip for something. I just used one this morning. But after reading KopBet's little story, I'm going to be using my car keys or something else to clean my ears!!!

[tomtom72]

I'm loosing it also cause I voted; but under false pretenses. I use Q-tips for my cat's ears and now for my vette. I was told by my MD that they are only good for the outer ear. Ofcourse I've been known to use a Bic pen top as a wax removal tool often.:ugh Tom

Tom... you poor thing.

[SSTibet]

I had a problem with one of my ears and had it checked by a very good doctor. I was told not to use Q-tips for my ears since there is an abonormal formation in front of my ear drums. He said I would push the "stuff" between that abnormal formation and the ear drum and this could impair my hearing & cause pain.

So I gave up on Q-tips. I use them to clean difficult spots of my Corvette, such as the A/C louvers inside the car.

[grapeknutz]

I use them to "stimulate" my mind!.....Oh so good!!!

[Edmond]

Everyday for me. I won't use the cheap Q-tips either because I have before the the stick itself would break or the cotton would come loose too easily. What's the brand name of the blue packaged ones?

I also use this little spoon metal looking thing to clean out wax. I think the doctors use them? That can get some big ear wax chunks out of there!:L

I also clip my fingernails frequently, I try for twice a week if I have to. I hate long fingernails, that and I play guitar.

I brush my teeth twice a day, at least. If I have onions, make it three.:L

[74bigblock]

Man I could use one of these right now!

[Im1ru2]

Although my wife has a M.S. in Audiology ( nothing smaller than your elbow goes in your ear) I use Q-tips :SLAP . I like cleaning them after a shower the best , although if they feel itchy, I have to " scratch them".
