How often do you use q-tips?
I was cleaning out my ears every time I got out of the shower but never found any ear wax. Now, I clean my ears about every 3-4 days and find a nice yellow suprise.

You realize when you use q-tips you really just jam the wax further in there?

Re: How often do you use q-tips?
The suction thingys are just as bad. You're talking about the ones that blast water into your ears?
I got a nasty nasty infection and a blown ear drum using those damned things. Stupid General Practitioner doctor who didn't know [censored] about ears recommended it to me. Wax should come out of your ears on it's own. If your ears make a lot of wax, go to a ENT doctor every few months. Standard disclaimer: Nothing smaller than your elbow should go in your ear. Since your elbow won't fit, that means nothing should. I will agree that Q-tips in the ears feels pretty damned good. Cleaning your outer ear with Q-tips is fine, just don't go digging for gold. |

Re: How often do you use q-tips?
I have great hearing, adn use them everyday, and no doctor ever said that there was too much wax. So whatever Im doing is working for me.
