Do you clean your ears?

If so what with?

What do you mean ‘’what with’‘? I’m pretty sure everyone uses cutips.

And yes, I do clean my ears. Once a week.

I mean, you could clean it with a towel after showering.

I clean my ears with water.Not really.

I clean them with cotton swabs and the blood of virgins.

I read a few years ago that cleaning your ears with q-tips can lead to your ear canal to get blocked up by compressed material and weakens the ear’s defense against stuff that might enter it. The ear actually does a pretty good job at keeping itself clean.
And then there’s the danger of causing damage to your own ear by trying to clean it.
Ever since then I only cleaned them superficially, e.g. under the shower, because no one likes to have visible traces of ear wax. Never had any problems.

I clean my ears with my fingers.

I only clean them after i take a shower, usually with ear sticks or with a towel.

I recently saw an ad on TV that I thought was pretty funny, but it actually makes sense in a weird sort of way. Just Google “WaxVac commercial” and it should be the first result (if you’re interested).

I’ve always used cotton swabs or occasionally held my ear under the showerhead for a few seconds.

sometimes i clean them with my fingers.

I use wet Q-tips even though I know you’re not supposed to put those in your ears

I never clean them

Yes, with cotton swabs.
