Qtips are a girls best friend

I have to clean my ears like three times a day. Sometimes I do it more and some days less but it's an urge I get and I just have to. It's very similar to an itch... you just have to scratch it. I even carry Qtips around with me in my purse. Is this normal?

    Wouldn't you have no ear wax to clean out by the time you use the third one.

    Read up on why cotton buds (or Q tips as you say, which is a brand) aren't good for cleaning your ear, especially deeply, and can do more harm than good.

    You shouldn't have to clean your ears that frequently. See a doctor for advice.

    Be careful! I used to do that and got the WORST ear infection ever!!! Actually, it happened to my mom also, years ago. I still go throgh q-tips a lot for my makeup and stuff. But really, be careful girl!

    Well, your earwax would be faded.

  • cleaning your ears packs the wax down inside your ear. Don't do it too much.

  • Youre not Supposed to do that! If you do you may think that it's good it's not! All you're doing Is shoving earwax farther into your ear!!! Stop it. Do it only once every other day! Plz

    Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. Treatable. On the other hand, it aint hurting anyone, and as long as you're not hurting your ears, don't worry about it.
