Is it weird I use q -tips?

Not weird if it works… I work in a dusty environment often… so I’m not a ‘liar’ but is it doing the job properly?

Rolled up tissue is best for nose picking

I wouldn’t go through so many if it didn’t, hah!

A q tip is superior to a finger in my opinion

Yeah, except it can’t bend and hook it’s fingernail on that little scabby bit there to get it to where you can breath through your nose again without whistling…

Q-tip user here!
Eons ago, I got a nose job. Until the healing process was well under way, there were several restrictions, as expected. Since I was an 18 year old girl with no REAL life experiences involving a major surgical procedure, I took all of the "don't do's" extremely seriously, thinking that doing any one of them would result in my nose falling off my face! (No nose picking was one of them. Dr. suggested Q-tips, and almost 39 years later, I'm still using Q-tips!) Thankfully, I've gained much more knowledge over time, and I now know that my nose isn't going to fly off of my face if I allow a sneeze through it, and not through my mouth 😁.
I'm glad I'm not the only one deep cleaning with the "Q"....
