Question:

Is it bad to use q-tips on your ears everyday?

It feels so good.


Answers:

It's bad to stick the q-tip into your ear canal, but it's fine to clean the little crevaces in the outside of your ear with it. Sticking the q-tip in your ear will just jam the wax up against your eardrum. Your ear canal is lined with little hairs that work to move excess wax out on their own, and they can do the job fine if you keep other things out. If your ears are really impacted with wax, then buy some ear drops designed for wax from your pharmacy (like debrox) or see your doctor to get them manually cleaned out.
