So we have a thread about how often to clean your ears, but I want to know what method you use to clean your ears.

Forgot to add "Other" as an option.

Tissues right after a shower.

It does get wax out though.

The wax is healthy and will dry up and fall out on its own so I just wash the outer part of my ear but not inside

My mom spits in my ears.

Wax buildup. >

Don't use Q-Tips btw, they are kind of dangerous.

That's why I'm surprised that all the votes so far are for q-tips! I thought people were aware that they're not recommended.

Q-tips... And I'm obsessed with them. I use them up to three times a day. It's such a habit for me to grab one whenever I go to the bathroom.

Gross.

My godmother's son used to not clean his ears and you could really obviously see all the dirt in there.

Not always.

This one time when I was in high school (13/14) and I didn't realise that it's been months since I checked my ears for wax.

I used an ear bud and I felt something stuck inside, so I had to use my finger to get it out. In the end, I pulled out a huge chunk of ear wax that was stained with blood and it was as big as a cigarette bud.

Q-tips

Q-Tips. But I wash my ears at bath time so I don't use Q-Tips often.

Glycerin.

Q-tips, a friend of mine used something that you would put into your ear and then light up, it was so weird

Queen Q-tips.

It feels so good. They say you should just use your pinky finger though.

Q-tips. They're only dangerous because you risk poking your eardrum. As long as you're gentle and don't shove it in there it's fine.
