I haven’t used them since i blocked my ears and had to get them syringed in March which was the last ‘thing’ i did before lockdown.
Now i just…don’t clean my ears apart from wiggling a finger in there a bit? I don’t notice any difference but maybe I have boulders of visible wax on my side profile, who knows?
The whole ear-cleaning thing is minefield. I never realised that it’s acceptable to walk around with gunge in your tabholes, my mum always said we should keep our ears clean
I used to stress out my ears seemed dirtier than others, used to even get teased about it at school. Since I went to a clinic they told me just use a washcloth to clean out the opening, anything else will fall out naturally
now I just imagine globs of wax falling out in normal life and nobody caring
