I don't do anything. Haven't had ENT issues.What are you supposed to use? Hydrogen peroxide rinse?No. Doc told me to stop.![]()
TWSSI know you are not supposed to (as my doctor told me not to)—but I’ll still use one to clean the shallower areas of my ear. For deeper cleanings, I go to the doctor and have it done with a suction method.

This. I never do it.sameNo. Doc told me to stop.![]()
after two plugged ears & two visits to get flushed i stopped using Q-tips and haven't had issues since.
doc told me "don't stick things in your ears. all you're doing is pushing the wax deeper."
That's the name of the WAX museums!@!#!#!$!#Yes .... I'm not some Madame Tussauds weirdo
My own theory - admittedly based on nothing but my own anecdotal experience and desire to justify my own routine - is that it's probably better to do often as preventative maintenance, and that doing it only when there's more buildup increases the risk of pushing the wax in and causing problems.Once in awhile (something my wife pretty regularly). I have read it isn’t actually good to do so I only try to do it if it seems like there’s more wax than usual.
Yup I'm in this boat. I too get really waxy and tend to dig in after a shower. I have done the flush at my doctor's before and will probably ask for it next time I'm there for something just to get 'em real cleaned out.Almost every single day for the last 30 or so years. I seem to produce more wax than the average person, but have never had a problem since getting into the routine. Always after my shower when it's nice and soft and as long as I do it every day, it seems to keep it from building to the point where anything might get pushed in further.
Tried once as kid. Everything I've read since is the wax is from the candle (and not ear) and actually winds up with debris getting into ear.Ever use the candle? I've done twice and that's pretty interesting (and gross).Not anymore.
Had a major blockage after an illness and had to go to doc where they used one of these
to clear out an ear plug
Bought one and using it ever since![]()
It's a fine line between pleasure and pain. Don't chase the dragon.I know I shouldn't but it feels SO DAMN GOOD!!!!
omg ...one of our legends around here - can't remember his name ...apologies, he's a PIT guy - used the phrased "eargasm"![]()
This sounds like something bannable in here.earcandling

Same, voted no. I don't use them for ear wax.I use Q-tips but not to clear wax, I gently (and shallowly) use them to get water out of my ears after a shower or swimming.
I bought those a while ago. But I couldn’t get them to work. I use this once a month or every other. Debrox Earwax Removal Kit, Includes Drops and Ear Syringe Bulb, 0.5 Oz https://a.co/d/bPKO4SgI actually switched over to one of those spiral rubber things they are awesome.
And I use a qtip to clean all the "folds" around the ear
Thanks weather guy.Never. Only earcandling
My wife used to scratch her ear canal with a pen. Until the dog barked one day and startled her mid-scratch…I had a science teacher in high school that would tell all of her classes to never do this. It was like an odd obsession she had or fear that a student would lance their own eardrum on accident.
Horrible?Nope
Thats horrible for you. I just clean them in the shower every day. A little water and my finger
i believe that was a light blue dot take that to the bank brohansThis sounds like something bannable in here.earcandling
Yes, you end up shoving wax INTO your ear. Doctors recommend not using Q TipsHorrible?Nope
