I remember helping a friend apply eardrops to his ears due to earwax buildup and thinking "man if these vials had long bendy straw-like tubes then he wouldn't need someone to lean over his ear applying drops like someone applying cookie flavoring to a cookie."
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 🤔
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?
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?
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.
You literally turn your head to the side and drop the drops in your ear. You don't need a second person.
A long bendy straw would require you to squeeze the liquid from the bottle all the way along the straw until the end point. That would mean a larger bottle with a larger amount of liquid for you to be able to squeeze it along the whole length.

Audinell ear spray. It will change your friends life. And only $15 a bottle.
Where would we find something like that? That sounds like something I'd see in Walmart and buy in an instant if I saw it.
