In truth, they're basically just multipurpose tools. Apply makeup, start a fire, clean your keyboard, or any other hard to reach places. We associate it with ear cleaning because that was the initial marketing but like all things we learn that we were doing more harm than good.

If you really want to clean your ears, get one of suction things that are meant for that, mix hydrogen peroxide with water, and let the mixture sit in your ears for a few minutes

My doctor gave me that little gem during an appointment and I just about punched her in the face. Putting a Q-tip in my ear wasn't the problem, it was a non-Q-tip related ear infection. Stupid lady
