yeah, earwax helps keep things (dirt, etc) out and from getting inside the ear.

I assume Q tips is a brand of ear swabs..I use Johnson cotton swabs and clean my ears once a week. I know its too frequent but I feel very uncomfortable otherwise. Ear wax is good and we shouldn't over remove it but it's good to clean the ears once in a while. Ears are prone to become dirty and sometimes it will show, so save yourself the embrassment and keep those ears clean:)

Yes!! I don't honestly remember when I started using them but my ears don't feel clean if I don't use them at least every other day. They itch and drive me crazy otherwise. I know you're not supposed to. I don't use them in my kids' ears except on the very outside part. I'm too scared that they'll move while I have it in there and something will get damaged. But I do "wash" their ears out with water and a syringe.

I use QTips when I get out of the shower. All the water in my ears after the shower bugs me so I gotta get it out somehow and QTips work the best.

I'm a clean freak person when it comes to my ears. When I left for college my mother sent me with cotten balls to clean my face with, and TONS of qtips.
