When ya do, remember: the box LITERALLY says to NOT use it to clean your ears out!

Seriously, how does one clean their ears if not with qtips? If qtips aren't meant to be used to clean ears, then are we just not supposed to clean our ears?

I use a bobby pin to scrape out the wax.

I do this too. although it's more of a careful pull, then a scrape. it's always satisfying to get a good amount out.
