Do you clean your ears using the corner of a towel?

Pighead

Pigheads has always used the "corner of the towel technique" to clean his ears yet recently I've been told by a member of the non male population that this is disgusting. I was genuinly shocked as I thought everybody used the "corner of the towel technique".

Is Pighead disgusting or was the non male just being a snotty bitch?

A cotton bud would be my choice but sadly, whilst I'm a very hygenic person the ears are always something I tend to forget.

Luckily, while I sleep, my dogs lick my ears whistling clean anyway.

Corner of the towel technique is disgusting! It's what I do also - but I check the corner hasn't been used before. I'm afraid to use cotton buds in case one falls into my head

Cotton Buds are for cleaning out the fluff in your belly button ya silly billy. Yuck! Pighead can't believe you put them in your ear! Have you never heard the wise old saying:

"He/She who puts anything smaller than their elbow into their ear canal shall hear no more the sounds of laughter"

Its a bit flowery that saying but basically it means you'll go deaf if you stick anything smaller than your elbow into your ear.

So in relation to your method, does the corner of a towel qualify as an object in its own right, making it smaller then an elbow, or does it count count as part of the towel as a whole?

Purely because Pighead doesn't want to look stupid and like hes contadicting himself I'm gonna go for counting it as part of the towel as a whole.

It's the towel as a whole, and it's less likely the whole thing will fall in.

OTOH, towel corners, cotton buds etc push wax into the ear and can cause deafness due to the build up. It happened to me and I had to have a syringing. I was told wash your ears with water, no buds etc, and dry with a hair dryer!

Sort of related, there's a disgusting story on AH in the spiders thread about a woman who, upon having ear aches, went to the doctor who discovered both a spider and webbing in her ear canal.

Disturbing. If she'd use a cotton bud she might have pushed the little rascal further in...
