gjl91 need help to clarify doubt about: : How can i dissolve a plastic q-tip that I accidentally wedged into an area too small to remove it from?
There’s a glass bottom to the area it is wedged in so I will be able to let it soak. I just need the q-tip completely dissolved and the glass to not be affected.

Before you do that, have you tried using a vacuum tube yet? You could also use a fishing hook too. Straighten it out if it’s too big. Use a long needle of some sort.There is probably not going to be a chemical that can dissolve such a thing. You could try acetone but I don’t think that will really work.

why did you put the Q-Tip in your anus in the first place?
Scheeech, what a job !! It is hard to think what
will attack that plastic. Just try one (list below) for
a few days and then dump it and add another , etc.

The Works, toilet cleaner, HCl acid. (Big Lots)
Organic solvents and alcohols
Ask at a Hardware Store, not big box
Repeat.
You can’t. Try using tweezers or needle-nose pliers.
