I have a confession to make: even though it says “for external use only” on the Q-Tips box, and even though doctors are always telling you *never* to stick anything in your ears, if I don’t clean my ear canals out once a month or so, it gets kind of, uhm, gross. Well, here I thought us greasy Hi-talians were the only ones with earwax problems. It turns out that Asians and Blacks are similarly afflicted:
“It’s not just an Eastern thing. I’m Black and my parents are from the South (Mom St. Louis; Dad, Alabama); they taught all of us kids how to clean our ears from the time we were toddlers.” Boing Boing: How to clean your ear with a bobby pin
I have to say, though… I’m kinda scared of the bobby pin thing. Think I’ll stick to Q-Tips.

I have to admit when I’m at my desk at work, I will sometimes open a paper clip, so that it’s two ovals, and use it to clean my ears. Kind of like a booby pin I guess.

Im not sure how good or healthy it is for you, but the bobbypin thing works..I thought I was just some crazy person doing it!lol..good to know im not!
its long enough, so you have something to hold on to, but the tip is so small so you can control and gently loosen any wax buildup. The issue Im having though is that I think my ears are COMPLETELY cleaned..bc when i bobbypin them, they reach a point where i hear this sound (think: When your on a roadtrip or in plane and your ears get clogged) until i take the b.p. out
Is this a concern?
Thnx, lily

Haha, yeah, I think you’re supposed to leave a little in there– it protects you from ear infections.
