Cotton buds are ok in the morning but as the day progresses I tend to move onto matches or paper clips that I've straightened out and then bent in half..

Jesus christ, I thought I was just squeamish about eyeballs, but thanks to this post I've now got ear neurosis.

Earosis.

Aren't ear candles a load of bollocks though? How are they supposed to form "a vacuum" anyway?

Ok vacuum might be the wrong word, let's say 'suction'. They suck the gunge out of your ears.

No vacuum is the right word. I assume, the burning flame uses the oxegen between it and your ear (within the tube) creating a pressure difference between tube/ear canal and the atmosphere. Air behind the wax will move to equalise the pressure forcing the wax infront.

He's kinda right here but some things are so wrong they're right.

Not in this case. That's like people who have fingernails too long and start to curl. shudder.

My ex-housemate had toenails that did that. I think he had that little fungus fella from the ads on TV living under them too.

I have that little fungus fella and I have gone through two bottles of 25 euro stuff to try and kill him and no joy. Anyone know how to get him good before it spreads to my brain?

Amputate now before it's too late.

Ear candles don't form a vacuum or any of that gick, but they do relieve the pressure. Who knows? maybe they melt the wax inside your lughole. But they do work. Not as effective as a good syringing, but a definite improvement. And the effect lasts longer.

First wash in three years for a wedding.

Waste of time.
