After all the threads on these boards over the years about eargasms, I am pleased to bring you the latest development in ear stimulating technology… [https://discover.lastobject.com/cotton-swabs-qtips/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIoNGU1L7e7gIVzi-tBh0SPgXeEAEYASAAEgKA0\_D\_BwE](https://discover.lastobject.com/cotton-swabs-qtips/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIoNGU1L7e7gIVzi-tBh0SPgXeEAEYASAAEgKA0_D_BwE) ---

Huh. and here I thought you’d be writing about the extremely phallic-looking hearing aid ads that are popping up on my computer now. ---

Notice the website in the OP is pushing plastic pollution from cotton swabs. About 2/3rds of the cotton swabs sold in the US are made by Q-tip, they are just a cotton and a paper stick. Many of the other brands are the same. These are biodegradable. I won’t use plastic swabs, they suck. I use cotton swabs in my garage too, they are on wood sticks. Again, biodegradable. As for options for Q-tip brand swabs, I tried one made of soft rubber with a swirl design, these were popular for 15 minutes a few years ago. The one I had didn’t work at all, it just shoved the ear wax further into my ear canal. ---

I was expecting this thread to be about earbuds. I know a few Q-tip addicts but I am not one myself. ---

That cuttlefish impaled on the q-tip is about the silliest and most absurdly dramatic thing I’ve seen in an advertisement in a long time. > [@wolfman](#): > > [https://discover.lastobject.com/cotton-swabs-qtips/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIoNGU1L7e7gIVzi-tBh0SPgXeEAEYASAAEgKA0\_D\_BwE](https://discover.lastobject.com/cotton-swabs-qtips/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIoNGU1L7e7gIVzi-tBh0SPgXeEAEYASAAEgKA0_D_BwE) ---

“Just get a swiss army knife.” I heard this statement from one of Son-of-a-wreks prepper buddies. I didn’t ask for an explanation or details.
