Wax vac

[Deleted]

The commercial is HILARIOUS. the dude stabs himself with a Q tip in the ear and yells while staring at it.

[softspot]

I want one. Or something that does a better job than a q-tip or bobby pin.

I really want to try eat candleing too.

[wambam]

This would be freakishly satisfying.

[bex1973]

I kind of want to try this too - I feel like I would be grossed out while doing it and then oddly satisfied after...

I'm all for quips, but bobby pins?  No.

It's a horrible habit, but it scoops nicely.

Yes, it's one of my favorite new infomercials!

NO NO NO.

They have been tested by audiologists and do not work. And if you have a true wax problem just go to the dr!!!

What about candleing? You mentioned going to a doctor, will they really remove it? Does it need to be an ENT?

Seems like a great idea in theory, but I doubt that thing actually works.

The guy in the commercial with the q-tip is hilarious though.

Candling is a scam. The brown crap at the end is muslin & candle wax.

My pediatrician actually said they're better for you than qtips.

My family doctor does it.

canceling is also dangerous and ineffective. Dr is the best option. Some primary docs will remove wax. If yours won't, an ENT will.

[bania]

The infomercial is hilarious.

Ill stick to my beloved q-tips though.

[mariafromnj]

I get wax build up ever few days. I can't go to the doctor every week. There has to be a better solution. I use q-tips but don't push into the ear. I just to the outside of the ear opening.

[sergey]

God I love infomercials

[papie]

I want one!  I am obsessed with cleaning my ears.

But I bet he won't do it TWICE A DAY!

Have y'all tried the ear wax removal drops with a bulb syringe? Those work well.

nope not alone,  my mom used to do it too..  it is so   though..  

[snickers]

I am not going to lie, I would probably buy this.

[snickers]

Also, I have used the bobby pin trick when there was no other option!

[open24hours]

I use bobby pins to clean out H's ear wax. He gets a ton of wax buildup and it gets really hard so I doubt the wax vac would do anything. I use a headlamp so I can see into his ear while pulling the wax out so I don't hit his ear drum.

How do you guys have so much earwax? Every now and then, I will stick a q-tip in there just to see, but nothing really comes out. SCOOP??

Oh you are so freaking perfect, aren't you? :-P
