On the flipside, you know whats not the business? When you've still got wax build up from however much or little time has passed since you last cleaned your ears, but you're dehydrated. This is exacerbated if your qtip is shitty quality and the cotton doesnt stay bunched up on the end of it very well so you end up with sore ears after all is said and done because of course you keep cleaning them anyway coz it still feels refreshing. This thought came as i was literally scratching the outer folds of my ear with shit qtips trying to clean them..
