    Q-tips aren’t meant to go in the ear the same way adult novelty toys aren’t meant to go in the butt.

      They are called novelty toys because the countries they are made in have laws against adult toys but not novelty items.

        That’s my point - Q-tips and novelty toys are both more commonly used for their off-label functionality because listing that on the label is inconvenient for the maker.
