In spite of all the warnings drilled into me since I was a wee MacIntosh, I swab out my ear canals like a rebel, after every single shower.
Persephoneers, I know I’m not alone. It’s time to fess up in the comments. Who among us laughs in the face of the warnings on the box of cotton swabs?

Cotton buds, right? NEVER! I’m cautious about sticking things in places they aren’t meant to go.
Yiss! I don’t use q-tips much, but I use earplugs every night (they saved my marriage, I’ve got insomnia and ADHD – can’t shut down my brain at night without complete silence). The foam kind that you stick in your ear. I’ve even stuck tweezers in there to pull out earplugs that I’ve stuck in too far.
I’m a rebel.
All the damn time.
Me too! I asked my Dr and she said my ears looked clean, healthy and not damaged. Just don’t do it in the car or while walking around. Sounded reasonable to me.
Oh every morning, every shower. I’ll swab my ears until they pry my Qtips from my cold, dead fingers!
