Its definitely safe. I do it about once a month. It helps clean them out and get wax. It's actually better for you to do then use q-tips (they can cause infection cause wax gets pushed up into your ear rather than all come out).
Be warned, it tingles a lot. Don't let it freak you out.

it is safe to put it in your ear as an aid to removing ear wax. you put a few drops in your ear and lay on the side so it stays in for abt 5 mins, then you use an ear syringe to flush out your ear with body temperature water. you can also use an ear pic with the stream directed along the ear canal, not pointing towards the ear drum. if you do this for about 5 days, it will clear out any compacted ear wax.

I would recommend Debrox, an over the counter peroxide product compounded especially for removing ear wax.

it is ok but you shouldnt. it takes out the water like after you go swimming but in taking out the water it also takes out bacteria ad there is good bacteria in your ear so it isnt healthy to do it much but every now and again its ok

Yes, doctors have told me to do it. It seems to bubble out the wax.

Its perfectly safe.
It loosens up the wax
