| I clean them quite often because I love the feeling too. Simon never uses cotton buds - apparantly the doctor told him they are really bad because they push the wax further down, so Simon wont use them, he's had to have his ears syringed twice and I use them and never had any problems with my ears xx |

| I have to wear ear plugs when in the bath/shower and was told not to use cotton buds so every few days I use some ear drops instead |

| Doctors say not to put anything smaller than your elbow in your ear lol.
I wipe round the outside and the flappy bit (pmsl) just not inside (the hole bit pmsl). But that only because I've had a lot of problems with my ears x |

| I think it is dependant on what sort of wax you get. Genetically you will get one of two types. Wet - the brown sticky stuff that kinda leaks out so needs cleaning a fair bit or, Dry - the powdery yellow/pale brown stuff that sort of falls out on its own in flakes, doesn't need cleaning as much and don't use cotton buds as it is more likely to push in and compact and need syringing. I have the dry stuff so don't need to clean very often. Always have a good wipe round when having a wash. I sometimes feel a little bit come out and might have a little poke to see if any more is loose. xx |

| Dont even get me started on the old ears! I clean them constantly! I have excema in both ears down the ear canal so they itch constantly, and i have a perforated ear drum in one so can hardly hear out of it. I get really bad build ups of wax so have to have them shrynged often and i love anything loud that makes my eardrums vibrate cause it itches them!! Ooh i have quite a few ear issues |

| I have always cleaned mine often and have never had an ear infection my entire life - so not sure I believe the doctors...besides - if I don't clean them often they feel funny! Maybe it show you clean them? I don't ram it right in, only just in Oh and Chocolate Tart - no bigger than an elbow?! That rules out ear sex then really doesn't it |

| Ear candling..yep..it feels really weird. I didn't do it to myself..but I did notice a difference after it was done. Weird how a candle can suck the wax out of your ear. xxx |
