What is a product that you won’t accept a generic alternative for?
For example, if you insist on buying Advil instead of store brand ibuprofen. I mean, you’d be wasting your money in that example, but you do you

I did, too, until my early 40s when it caused a
wicketwicked ear infection. Tiny pieces of cotton, like threads, eventually built up over time. I ended up with a fungal ear infection that had me in pain and dizzy for weeks. I was very close to having my eardrum burst. Never again. It was really hard to break the habit of using qtips, but it's fine now; ears are self-cleaning.I know it is not recommended, but I produce a lot of earwax, and if I don't use them sooner or later it will mess up with my ears, actually now that I recall, I have been for years without any issue in my ears 🤔

I use these regularly. I feel like they do the best job and they also allow me to gently "scratch" the inside of my ear. It's not really scratching, but it relieves the itch I can sometimes get.
QTips cause wax plugs, if you use them gently to clean just the outer bit of the ear canal, it is kind of okay, but really you shouldnt. The ear canal is cone shaped so as you insert the Qtip you inevitably push some wax down.
Furthermore the ear canal is self cleaning.
