Do you actually need someone to help with that?

I just apply ear drops myself, are you sure they didn’t involve you in some kind of ear drop kink 🤔

[–] [email protected] 7 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Not the person you replied to, and not a kink, but:

I would absolutely be more willing to clean my ears if I had this straw-like mechanism. I still do it, but it feels like a huge effort. I also end up with drops all over me.

I can't really explain why.

You mean a pipette?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

The problem isn’t the drops not going into your ear, it’s the fact they specifically instruct you to put in two drops, no more and no less, and it’s hard to see how many drops you’re putting in when the vial’s method of secreting the drops is squeezing the container.

How would a long bendy applicator help with this?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

It can loop up and around and into your ear as you're laying down and you'll be able to see how many drops go in as the vial can be right in front of you but the drops can be transported into your ear.
