It only took me 50 years to figure out how to get excess water out of my ears after a workout without doing the "one legged-banging-head-with-palm" dance. Paper towels, napkins, or even newsprint will work. Don't use polished or bond paper, it is way too tough on the flesh and doesn't absorb very well.
Through the magic of capillary action, you can remove 94% of the offending water simply by putting your finger in a paper towel and sticking it into your ear. No need to wiggle it around or push hard. As long as the paper touches water, it will drain most moisture out of a healthy ear. Amazing but true. I don't know why my towel cannot do this, but have had remarkable success over the last 6 months since I gave it a try.
Cheers and good drainage!
OK, for the medically-challenged: Iso alcohol is something you get at a pharmacy? You guys put the 50/50 mix in a small dropper? A couple drops AFTER swimming (not before?) and the water comes out? Does the 50/50 mix also come out?
Sorry, these are serious questions. I'm one of the 1 legged hopping dorks and I'd like to stop doing that.
