When I was younger I got home from the pool and was trying to get the water out of my ears, so I used a q-tip, long story short I punctured my ear drum. The nurse told me the smallest thing I should stick in my ear is my little finger.

Haha that's pretty good. I guess there are some things that really just don't make any sense when it comes to commercial products. Actually there's probably a lot of things come to think of it.

And I can't believe that q-tips have a disclaimer that says not to use in the ears. I mean what else do you use q-tips for really?

I've been cleaning my ear canals with q-tips for probably 20 years & I've never injured myself.

I have exceptional selective hearing.

I use them in my ears and I have to say it feels great
and they look disgusting when im done
so I figure its worth it
I never stick them far though...im always careful about that...

Is it pleasurable (i mean sticking something in your ears other than cleaning)? I remember a dorm mate during university days use to have a feather with him. I dont get it but these South Vietnam guy says twirling a bird feather your ears will bring you to pleasure high. how true? This guy do even have a major in Public Health Development.

I believe it has to do with nerve endings in the inner ear, though I can't find very much information about it.
