Not at all. Just be careful and keep the Q-Tip at the surface of the outer ear.
If you feel there is a build up of wax, get an ear candle at a health food store on on the web.
They really work!

I think cleaning your ears with Q-tips is fine. I would not suggest going all the way inside of the ear as you may do some damage and cause the cotton to be lodged. (My little sister did this...) Just swab the outer rim of the ear canal.
My little sister's doctor suggested using ear drops to clean the wax out...
Happy healing!

I've heard it's bad because you can shove wax further into the ear cannal. And of course you can poke the ear drum if you go in too far.
I do clean my ears with Q-tips every day, but I'm careful to not go too far in. I may be doing damage to my ears but it feels good to be clean!

A Little ear-wax is good for your ears. I wouldn't say clean them everysingle day. Maybe like, twice a week or something along those lines...

No is not bad you should clean your ears daily, but of course if you stick in the qtip all the way in it is bad cuz ur goin to hurt ur ear.

I heard that it was bad to clean your ears out with anything bc you might do it wrong and burst your eardrum. But I think it looks nasty with all that earwax hanging out your ears so I do it anyways.

My husband uses q-tips every day & he is fine. I think, the secret is not to put them into the ear too deep. Now I don't do it because my mama told me not to do it. So you decide.

I have heard that it is bad and that it just pushes the ear wax back into your ear???

yes alicia its so bad because if you do it enough...the cotton particles clutter in your ear & clog them up & then little animals start living in them...clean ears are never good...they always lead to bad things like that.
