QTips help, but they don't seem to be good enough. Is there some kind of product out there to clean your ears with? It seems like it would make sense. I mean, we don't just use a toothbrush to brush our teeth, we use toothpaste too. What else can I clean my ears with?

you could go to like cvs or walgreens or something to get ear drops that soften that hardwax deep inside your ears or you could go to your doctor and have them clean it out. that's what i did when i had an ear infection.
and avoid q-tips it only pushes in the wax farther into your ear

My doctor told me never to put anything in my ear smaller than my elbow, but that's not realistic. Just use a cotton ball if you aren't comfortable with q-tips. Don't pour any liquids into your ear as they could cause blockage. If you truly have a lot of excess wax perhaps you should contact your physician.

go to your eent specialist. they have this liquid drops which you put in your ears and all the dirt and wax pops out from it.
and pls be very careful when you clean your ears. the eardrum is a very sensitive sheath and when broken, lacerated or pierced is irrepairable.
