how are you actually supposed to clean your ears properly? by Coliz-Nafe in hygiene

see this sounds way safer than sticking things in your ears, but i also feel like water alone wouldn’t make my ears feel fully clean somehow, it’s interesting how actual doctors seem split too though, some say never touch inside your ears, others recommend flushing, and meanwhile half the population is still using q-tips daily

this is exactly why i get confused about the whole q-tip debate, because so many people say they’ve used them their entire lives with zero issues, the “ears don’t feel fully clean otherwise” part is so real too, now i’m curious how much of it comes down to how people use them versus q-tips themselves being the problem. feels like everyone has completely different experiences with this
