try dipping the end of the qtip in cold water first
Then try it with cold vodka. The alcohol evaporates faster than water, so it really has that strong cooling effect.
Edit: not joking. I actually do this, the alcohol helps dissolve and clean the waxy buildup too.
2nd edit: don’t fucking shove the Qtip into the canal like an idiot. It’s for the outer ear only, freaks.
Why not isopropyl?
Sure, you can use IPA. It’s more toxic than ethanol but in the very small amounts we’re talking here it’s a negligible difference.
I prefer a pilsner, myself.
You haven't lived as long as you did not try Amaretto...
I’m more of a mead guy, myself. Completely unrelated, I also listen to Norwegian metal while munching on rye crackers.
