Uhm, how often do you guys clean your ears? From my experience, Q-tips are quite safe for earwax that are in thin yellowish layers. I never let it reach that point where it was brown and clumpy, so i never had to use an ear spoon or something. I usually clean my ears every 3 to 4 days or so. Also, obligatory video. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/nTPogv57GIo" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Every morning I use a q-tip but problems happen when you clean your ears too much so you should never go overboard. Your ears need a little wax in them. I've heard what I consider a lot of bull about q-tips being bad for your ears. Those must be people who don't do it right or have some additional factors, such as chronic ear problems (?). The only time I've ever had a mishap is when I poked to hard in my ear with the q-tip and hit my ear drum. That hurts like hell when it happens.
Reading that reminded me of this lol: <iframe width="640" height="360" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/Out92F1bMIM?feature=player_detailpage" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
But the reality for so many people is their ears get plugged with wax on a regular basis and they have to do something about it. In addition to not being able to hear properly, it is very annoying. Drives you crazy! After reading this thread, looks like I was fortunate my ears only plugged every 6-12 months until I found the solution.
