The wax collector includes a hollow cone, a mouth of the cone being disposed at the end surface of the insertion portion with peripheral side walls of the mouth engaging the side walls of the opening, where the closed end of the cone is disposed within the opening. A handle-like introducer is provided for supporting the button, where an end portion of the introducer is removably inserted into the opening of the button from the end surface of the enlarged portion of the button. The end portion of the introducer is provided with an end opening therethrough to receive the cone therein. The introducer has a reduced portion so that the end portion of the introducer can be bent.
