People have told me not to use a Q-Tip in your ear because it just pushes the wax back father into your ear. So here's an article with a different alternative!

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

  • A bobby pin

Step1
Take the bobby pin and insert it into your ear but not too far because you don't want to puncture your ear drum.
Step2
Drag it along your ear. You will get wax out. Repeat this step as many times as needed.
Step3
Clean the bobby pin with a napkin or rinse it under water.

Tips & Warnings

  • Don't insert the bobby pin too far.
