I sometimes use rolled up pieces of paper to remove water from my ears. I used a cardboard box from a product (plastic knives, spoons, and forks) rolled up and seem to dry up my ear but seems to have hardened in a way I haven’t seen with pieces of paper. Feel like I need to scratch it out as it is like a wound that healed with plastic in it.
Thoughts of similar products might be seen as useful might deliver results in much different ways.
I also recently had problem with dust in my eyes, yet the particle wasn’t on my eye, it hardened on the inside of my eye lid, and I had to scratch it out. Difficult results might lead to results seen as unachievable, yet my eyes feel much better now, can’t say it didn’t take me hours to get it out.
Worthy of note pieces of paper might get stuck in ear or left in ear without comprehension. Hydrogen peroxide might be a better solution works for me yet also worthy of note I am not a nurse or doctor. People use tools available, tools are not available at all times.
The dust in this area might not be ideal for children though I am in my 40s so I might be more prone – my eyes water up and coat over and then the dust seems to be less of a problem.
