Instructions Unclear, HERE'S THE RIGHT INSTRUCTIONS
INDEX[1] How my ear got stuck[2] Packaging and ChatGPT instructions[3] Attempt #1 (didn't work)[4] Freaking out[5] Attempt #2 (worked)[6] Pre-instructions[7] Step-by-Step Instructions[8] Post-instructions[9] TLDR[1]The product definitely works. You can skip to the instructions if you want to, but I'll be giving some background. I used a cotton swab to try to clean out my ear after feeling it was getting a little bit too waxy for my liking after using earphones for a while right after a shower, then accidentally pushed in the cotton swab too far into my right ear and pushing the wax pretty deep in. I started panicking because it's most definitely not normal to not be able to hear 80% of what you could before and constantly have my right ear sound like I'm either under water or wearing noise cancelling earphones 24/7.[2]So, I bought this product and followed the instructions. I also consulted with ChatGPT just to make sure I wasn't doing anything stupid to damage my ear. Here's what I was told from the instructions and ChatGPT. (1) Follow the instructions on the back of the packaging. (2) Flush gently 3-5 times because the ear canal is sensitive and to not damage it because it could lead to permanent ear damage or an ear infection if the wax is pushed in deeper and left there for too long. (3) If it doesn't work by the last day, go to a doctor because you don't want to risk an ear infection.[3]With that out of the way, let me put into perspective of what happened. Day 1, I did my first round of carbamide after the shower. 8 drops, 10 minutes in, 10 minutes drain, not much happened aside from a little popping. When nothing happened drastically, I thought it was fine because the packaging had said this was a 4-day process. Day 2, 10 drops in, 10 minutes in, 10 minutes drain, nothing happened besides some slight drainage similar to when you get out of a pool and your ears slightly drip out wax. This is where I started to panic because I didn't hear any popping or crackling like Day 1, so I asked ChatGPT again which told me I had to trust it and follow the instructions, or go to a doctor if I wanted immediate removal. Day 3, exact same situation as Day 2 but increased worry and "I'm freaking out WHY AREN'T YOU WORKING" vibes. Day 4, 10 drops in, 10 minutes in, 10 minutes out, gently flushed with the bulb 3-5 times, and I felt like I pushed the wax even deeper in my ear. This is where I started to freak out for a few reasons. I know doctors visits are generally pretty expensive. I might have messed up my ear unknowingly. I might have pushed in the wax even deeper.[4]I did a bunch more looking around in a freaked-out fashion. Here's what I found out. As of June, 2025, a visit to Urgent Care is $100, then the cleaning was $50, totaling $150 out of pocket. Apparently in January of 2021, it was $35 - $75 total for the same procedure which took the medical offices about 5 - 10 minutes. I only assume from the point I'm writing this that the price will go up simply just because of the health care industry. I called urgent care, and the lady at urgent care (super lovely btw) told me I could try hydrogen peroxide 3% mixed with warm water instead of carbamide peroxide (the solution in this product) and try an ear spoon with a rubber tip. Hydrogen peroxide is a bit stronger and works a bit faster but is also more risky. I didn't do either because I frantically continued searching around on Google, Quora, Reddit, and Facebook forums to see if any of them had useful information which ended up pretty disappointing. Then I looked into the reviews of this product to see why it had so many reviews and over 4 stars and found the solution to my ears.[5][Skip this part if you want to see instructions] I followed the instructions from two different posts, aligned them, and disregarded everything I looked up beforehand with ChatGPT and forums. After letting the solutions sit for the time and flushing it out of my right ear, A TON OF WAX came out. I know in the sink it doesn't look like much, but try to imagine your pinky fingernail because it was about that much that came out. I then repeated it with my left ear because although I could hear out of it just fine, I wanted to give it a quick wash since I'm an avid earphone and headphone user. Not really much came out of my left ear, but it did feel cleaner! I'm so happy and so glad that I decided to look into the reviews before spending $150 for a 10 minute visit because this was $8 when I bought it. Both of my ears feel cleaner and can hear more. It almost feels like my hearing reaction time is faster than my eyes reaction time now.[6]PRE-Instructions:Some things to note when you're doing this is that after you finish the instructions, it's normal to feel a little light headed or off balance or dizzy. Lie down and rest a little. You are doing perfectly fine, don't panic, trust yourself and the other reviews, you'll be okay, promise.[7]I'll get into the instructions now.1. Dry the outside of your ear a little bit, not inside the canal, with a tissue before anything else just in case you did something with water.||| In my case it was the shower.2. Tilt your head to the side and (optional: use your phone camera to see yourself) fill in your ear with the product's solution until it's about full or as much as you think you can fit in your ear.||| I used what seemed like a lot.3. Rest your body and head on a pillow sideways. Adjust your angle of your head while remaining sideways occasionally for comfortability and to allow the solution to move.||| I didn't stick to singularly looking straight forward while sideways.4. Do step 3 for 30 minutes MINIMUM. The solution needs time to work. This is OTC stuff, so have patience because it will pay off.||| I went on my phone for this period of time, so it was fast.5. After 30 minutes, get up, use a tissue or paper towel to drain out the carbamide peroxide if you have to walk a little bit, go to a sink or bath, then warm up some water, fill the bulb with WARM WATER all the way (bulb should come with product, squeeze really hard to fill up bulb), put the bulb tip in your ear as deep as you feel comfortable, and squirt it hard, fast, and intensely in your ear.||| I put the bulb tip pretty deep as long as it didn't hurt. Think of the bulb like squirt gun.6. Repeat squirting until all the wax comes out and you can hear again.||| This took me 1-2 minutes of squirting. Some people said 10 minutes, some said 20 minutes, some said 1-5 minutes like me.[8]POST-Instructions:Congrats, you should now be able to hear properly now. You did well and should be free of the noise blockage in your ear canal. If you still have problems after all of this, you legitimately might have a larger concern in need of a doctor's visit.[9]TLDR: Accidentally oopsie and used a cotton swab, pushed wax in, freaked out for five days, eventually found out reviews had good instructions, I can hear now, yay!

Perfect for hardened impacted earwax!
I used this on my toddlers ears. I could see that they were impacted like crazy and I knew he wouldn't do well going to the doctors to take care of it, so I wanted to try it myself at home first. For 2 days, twice a day I put 3 drops in his ears. On the third day I started using the bulb syringe, and so much stuff came flying out of his ear! It was like one of those crazy videos online you see when scrolling at night. I couldn't believe it. It went from back and like a massive rock to completely softening the wax and allowing it to be washed out. He laughed the whole time. It's like an oil, but it doesn't leave any nasty residue at all. Even with him not wanting to stay tilted for too long, it hardly leaked out of his ears onto his neck. It is kind of thick, so it works good to wiggle the ear and let it get down in there. Super easy to use, great product, would definitely buy again.

Okay so this ACTUALLY works!
Like many of the other reviews are saying, it works like really well! You just have to be patient and follow these steps instead of the ones on the box:1) Put the drops in, doesn't matter how many just fill it up2) keep your head tilted and leave in for 30 min at LEAST, i suggest laying down in bed with a phone. I had too leave mine for about an hourChange the angle every now and then to help the solution.3) get up and tilted your ear down to let the product drain DON'T FLUSH IT OUT YETOptional after step 3) if you have an earwax spoon and have really hard impacted earwax, now would be the time to use it!4) flush out the ear. You're gonna need to flush it out multiple times. I had to do it 5-10min just keep spraying until you don't see anymore earwax come out. Do this after EVERYTIME you use the product.Use max 2x a day, your ear will feel totally clogged that's normal, it takes 2-4 days to work.I have earbuds/headphones on ALL DAY cuz I'm a hardcore rhythm game player and my earwax build up was SO bad but this stuff works so well. Would rate 5 stars if the instructions were accurate though!
