>>3518798The meme that those are bad is because people are too stupid to know how to use them.
You clean your ears with a solution of hydrogen peroxide at 1.5%. (ie: dilute 1/1 in water the peroxide they usualy sell at 3%). This solution you are supposed to wet those sticks with and this way you dissolve the ear wax and get it out.
Using your fingers is stupid, it pushes the wax in the same dumb fucks do with these sticks but even worse.
