I know it is not recommended, but I produce a lot of earwax, and if I don't use them sooner or later it will mess up with my ears, actually now that I recall, I have been for years without any issue in my ears 🤔

    QTips cause wax plugs, if you use them gently to clean just the outer bit of the ear canal, it is kind of okay, but really you shouldnt. The ear canal is cone shaped so as you insert the Qtip you inevitably push some wax down.
