YEP! thats right, even I have a wild side!. I put it into my ear canal, with pressure! LOL Everyone I know does it!.!.!.!.!.Well at least the cool kids anyways!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I do, but I know my limits!. I've caused an ear infection once before by going in too far and it sucked!. I'll clean the outside part and then the outside of the ear canal!. Then i'll go in a little bit more but only rotate it gently!. I have even taken peroxide on a q-tip and let it drip in my ear and fizz for a few minutes - it helps clean it out and get out the bacteria!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

I have since I was younger, but now that say that ear wax (ew) is good for your ears and you are not supposed to stick things so close to your ear drums!. That perhaps you can go deaf later in life!. Who knows!.!.I also use peroxide because I feel once you start cleaning your ears with a Q-tip, you can't stop! : )Www@Answer-Health@Com

I do but I know I shouldn't!. They sell kits at stores like Walgreens to properly clean your ears though!. I read somewhere that having earwax is healthy!. It wouldn't be healthy to have excessive amounts though!.
Here's a site with more detailed info on how to properly clean them:

Yes!. That was what they were invented for!. Otherwise, you could clean the same part of the ear with a washcloth, soap and water!. I think stating that on the box is the company's way of averting a lawsuit in case of an injury!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Yes, I do!. I just do not go far in the ear and am in there just enough to get the water out or whatever it is!.

It has caused me an earache before though!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

Yeah, after my shower I swab quickly in there to get the water/wax out!. If you're sensible about it, it's fine!. They have to say that to cover all their bases and not get sued!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I put it inside!. But I don't like shove it in there so I hurt myself!. My parents tell me not to, but I do anyway!. How else should I clean them!? :]Www@Answer-Health@Com
