Nothing should go for her than your fingers can reach. Wherever your finger can reach .. that's where the cleaning stops... any farther is looking for problems . Wax in the ear has a purpose... a shield protecting the delicate inner ear from dust .water..insects ...bacteria ..protecting it from infection. Remove the wax...you remove the protection. Las las .... most people with ear infection ..check them.... the wax digging I'm very clean type.

Hahahaha 😆 😂, I don't even know for these people mehnnn.

Funny enough, I'm not sure I've ever heard an ENT doctor complain of over-cleaning the ears. Matter of fact, I've taken a child to the hospital in Abuja when his ears were troubling him while preparing for school exams, the ENT doctor "washed" his ears, you need to see the quantity of wax/dirt that came out. He felt better afterwards and could write his exam well.
Ear cotton buds should not be inserted into the ears. They push more dirt inside and can seriously injure the ear. My doctor advised me to clean my ears under the shower with water after I have caused myself an infection with cotton buds.

Oh wow, that's another angle.

But then again, how will the buildup of the ear wax come out?

Buy this from miniso

They have a pack and they also have a single long one

I find these far more effective

3500 or thereabouts. Much more cost effective in the long run

Preferred option by asians

Lemme mess with your evening

It comes out. That’s why you need to clean your ears with water using your fingers. The inner ear should be a no go area. I’m not a doctor, just repeating what my doctor has told me.

Hmmm, I see. Thank you for the clarification, Maeve.

Happy weekend to you and yours.
