Yes I do. I didn't know it was something I needed to admit to, I thought it was normal.
BE HONEST....FESS UP......Do YOU use Q-tips IN your ears?????
04/17/2013
I use them. I put one in too far once, though
04/17/2013
I LOVE using them in my ears. It feels so good!!!!!!
04/17/2013
AH! You caught me!
04/17/2013
I do, but I don't go far in my ear canal with them. And I rarely do it.
04/17/2013
Ummm... in the ears? Obviously?
04/17/2013
I do. I can't live without my q-tip and if my ears feel "dirty" I have TO clean them out! I'm not really sure what other purpose q-tips have other than trying to clean the gunk out that builds up under the tap in our one bathroom....or trying to remove finger/toenail polish from skin without taking it off the nail?
04/17/2013
Yeah, I put them in my ears even though I know I shouldn't...
04/17/2013
Wait -- they really say don't put it in your ear? How am I supposed to clean in there?
04/17/2013
Its the best way to clean your ears, the baby ones are even made so you cant out them too far into the ear so uuhh yeah thats what they are for, that and detail cleaning your car (or is that just me being ocd?)
04/17/2013
I use them twice a day or more! Yes, I use them inside, it's the only way to scratch that itch! I have ventilation tubes in both eardrums, so this is the only way for me to clean; I cannot get fluid in my ears, so no flushing them out.
04/17/2013
I do use Q-tips inside my ear, but I don't want to go far enough in to poke the eardrum.
04/17/2013
Yes...all the time!

What else would I clean it with? I don't really care to dump some solution in there. LOL.

SO...come on. Share your dirty little secret. Do you live by that "never put anything smaller then your elbow in your ear" rule, or do YOU clean those ears out good, with that lovely little white barbell????? less

I always have and always will use them in my ears.
04/17/2013
Yes I do.

Agreed. But I too was raised on Q-Tips and will always use them.

Yes, I keep them in my medicine cabinet in the bathroom for when I get out of the shower.
04/18/2013
I do.. I never even knew that they weren't supposed to be entered in the ear.. WHOOPS! Are you supposed to just let wax build up or something? Gross.
04/18/2013
YES....I ADMIT IT. I clean INSIDE my ears with Q TIPS!!!!
04/18/2013
I hate q-tips. They cause me so many problems and I won't use them on my kids either. This is actually a huge issue with my MIL since she can't stand any amount of ear wax and with the medical issues in my family related to ears, our doctor has forbid me to use them.
04/18/2013
I don't find them to be effective for cleaning ears, plus they're really not well made to protect your ears. I use them for stage makeup though.
04/18/2013
It is like popping pimples or biting nail. You know that you are not supposed to do it, but you still do .
04/18/2013
No secret about it... of course I do about once a month and I always get a good report on my ears from my doctor, no build up, of cotton or wax.

No, not anymore. I used to, until I was working in health care and a woman had to come in to have her ears cleaned because she had pushed the wax in with q-tips and it gunked up so badly she couldn't even hear out of one of her ears and the other she began to lose hearing. I got to be the one to clean it out with the bulb, and after seeing what came out, I stopped using them. Gross.

I've never used q-tips in my ears and don't plan to start.
04/18/2013
I never even realized there was a warning against insertion. Qtips are pretty much and every day/after shower thing for me.
04/18/2013
On rare occasion, but I'm pretty careful not to go in deep
