Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I'm the kind of guy that ignores instructions. I usually wear earplugs to bed and as a result, my ears don't naturally clean themselves and I get a nasty earwax build up. What's the usual go to response? Shove a qtip in there, spin it around and pull it out. Except, the buildup was so bad that I pushed the earwax deeper and made it even worse. I tried the ear wax cleaning kits with the drops, I even stooped low enough to try those candles (they don't work). Finally, I found these and ordered them as a last ditch effort before going to the doctor. They're metal and your ear isn't, so I was extra careful when putting them into my ear. I used the one that looked kind of like a shovel and made a scooping gesture to slide it out of my ear. To my surprise, I saw the nastiest blob of earwax I've ever seen sitting on the edge of the shovel. Excited by the progress, I went to digging like I was looking for gold. I probably could have made a candle with all of the earwax I shoveled out. I was able to clean out the earwax I shoved with a q-tip. On the down side, I can't use the excuse that I can't hear what my gf is saying...
