Topic: How often do you clean your ears with a QTip?

I do it everyday and when that fact came up amongst friends recently, I got the feeling that most thought that was a bit too much.

[MoTown]

Nah - I try and do it every morning. Sometimes I forget and skip a day. I don't want any ear junk sitting in there for people to gawk at.

every day after my shower. I notice it if I don't (ear's itch somethimes).

[UxKa]

Every day, two for each ear.

[Fool]

I do it when it feels necessary. Couple times a week maybe? Usually after a shower.

[Hermy]

Once a month.

[Glenn]

Once a month.

Do you derive more satisfaction when you get a lot wax back on the dirty QTip?

If I asked you this question in person, could you even hear me?

[Hermy]

Yes, Yes.

I've never seen wax outside my ear, and never notice any audible difference when I do use one, but my wife has them out on the bath counter so every so often I'll do it for fun.

My wax is always a brownish orange though. Most say yellow. Is this maybe from age?

[DrRay11]

Nah, mine is brownish orange too. No worries.

[Uncle Mxy]

Once a week or so.
