Asian Ear Cleaning Tools

Ear cleaning is a very intimate process and feels extremely pleasant and stimulating when conducted by a trusted person. It has been traditionally performed in Asian countries for ages. People who experienced the sensation of having their ears cleaning during a trip to Japan, Thailand or Vietnam describe it as "Amazing", "Incredibly soothing" and "extremely relaxing". It has also been said that the procedure is like "intercourse for your ear".
