Has anyone else got a tonsil stone remover and want to share the glory of them?

Hang on! Why do I feel like I'm so horribly missing out??!

I've never had a tonsil stone....why haven't I had one! It's not fair!!

I wanted to pick one out, off to you tube to watch hours of fun!

ATruthUniversallyAcknowledged · 07/03/2017 22:07

@WeeblesWobbles - I thought I was a spooner until I saw that. I'm not any more. OMG. That was grim. Your video was fine. The one that popped up afterwards made me feel sick!

thenightsky · 07/03/2017 22:12

Tool thing looks good.

I get 3 or 4 in each tonsil [gloat]

I hoik them out with a fingernail and a magnifying mirror once every six months or so.

Mallowmarshmallow · 07/03/2017 22:16

Thenightsky, I probably get them several times a weeks although it peaks and troughs.

Which one of you wants to marry me? I really want my husband to revel in the glory of tonsil stones but he is totally horrified.

My brother shows some level of interest so I sometimes send him pictures of my excavation finds although I suspect he always wishes he hadn't seen them...!

Oh dear God I just discovered what a jigger is. Dear. God. That's sealed my atheism right there.

Ironwoman123 · 07/03/2017 22:19

I usually need to poke about quite a bit to see any. There's loads of holes back there but if I push them usually a few emerge.

I only discovered it when I looked in my throats and seen a large white ball so I poked it and then literally loads more came out behind it. It must have been building up (so disgusting)

I usually check every week or two now to prevent that happening but they're never just siting there. Is that normal?

Weebleswobbles · 07/03/2017 22:20

Mallow - sporners here on MN would love to marry you - can't you film it and put the videos up in sporner corner?

Don't share with atruthuniversally who has discovered on this thread that she's only half sporner Smile

abbsisspartacus · 07/03/2017 22:21

How do you know you have them??

Gobbolinothewitchscat · 07/03/2017 22:24

Prepare yourself for the smell

My DH is a dentist and his professional opinion is that the smell when removing tonsil stones is worse than a really horrid abscess!

StorminaBcup · 07/03/2017 22:25

What fresh hell is this? Tonsil stones?! Pickers?!

EmMcK · 07/03/2017 22:25

A tool for my favourite and grossest body bit! I love my tonsil stones - I use some old tweezers to get them out and a headlight. I am very sad if I go a week without being able to extract one, but know that if I ignored them I could have a super dooper big one which would be SO SO satisfying to removed.
Mallow _ does this have a grippy bit on the end? Its kind of hard to see.

Mallowmarshmallow · 07/03/2017 22:28

Em, no it's like a little scoopy spoon for scooping them out with. It's wonderful!

I really don't think I could go to work knowing I had one. I would have to dig around until I got it. I know what you mean though about the temptation to leave one to grow into a real whopper....!

Why can't we have a thread about really satisfying shits?

I had a lovely one yesterday in the toilets at work. I'd had plenty of meat, vegetables, water and caffeine the day before. And a bit of stress. It was a bit sore coming out but when I turned round, there is was, conker-brown, long, smooth, straight and thick. Like a nice cock, actually.

It took a good half an hour for my arse to close back up again and I felt nice and empty afterwards. I was sad to flush it away.

ATruthUniversallyAcknowledged · 07/03/2017 22:30

Despite discovering that I'm only half Sporner, I feel like I've found my people Grin

I've ordered one.

PollyBanana · 07/03/2017 22:32

Don't they make your breath smell?

EmMcK · 07/03/2017 22:39

I have ordered one too. The excitement is mounting......

MissWimpyDimple · 07/03/2017 22:44

Ooooo I just ordered a Philips air floss thing to see if that works. I have one really deep tonsil crypt and I use a crochet hook Blush

I'm hoping the air floss works as the crochet hook is causing bleeding and that can't be good

MrsSkeffington · 07/03/2017 22:47

How do I know if I've got one? Would the dentist say?

YetAnotherHelenMumsnet · 07/03/2017 22:51

RIGHT I JUST WATCHED THAT CLIP AND I AM EXTREMELY TRIGGERED

YetAnotherHelenMumsnet · 07/03/2017 22:52

also by popular request we have moved this to the Corn of Sporn.

Weebleswobbles · 07/03/2017 22:58

Oo-er missus! We've TRIGGERED Helen!!!!!

Wonders what Sporn Helen will be triggered to do/post

YetAnotherHelenMumsnet · 07/03/2017 23:05

Blerk. It was the upcoming clip on the left hand of the tonsil stone one. The circles... yuck yuck yuck. #professional

ATruthUniversallyAcknowledged · 07/03/2017 23:07

Yes @YetAnother. That one. It cured me of my sporniness. I still feel sick.

ChickenVindaloo2 · 07/03/2017 23:08

I've ordered a picker. Going to do my tonsils AND ears with it.
