My ear is itchy. I dont want to use a cotton swab cuz duh youre not supposed to but its driving me crazy.

I was a kid with ear issues and my doctor at the time taught me how to dry my inner ear with a cotton swab.
Use more than one. Go slow and twist it on a circle. Not all the way in at first. If it’s filthy, get a new one and do the same, over and over. Never touch your ear drum.

I use a cotton swab. I know your not supposed to.

half and half water and vinegar. i use organic, unfiltered apple cider vinegar, but any will do the trick

I always use a cotton bud. Don’t believe everything you read. There’s nothing I know that works better than a cotton bud.

I take a large paper clip, bend it open so that it has a small loop on one end and a large loop on the other, bent in so the sharp end is mostly hidden. I use the large loop as a handle, and then use the small loop as a rake to scrape out the ear wax. It seems to work fine, better than a cotton swab, but you do have to be careful and not push in too far

what's causing the itch? do you swim a lot?

Take a hair-dryer and blow hot air into your ear from like a foot away. That will bring quick relief. And no danger of hurting your ear canal.

Why would you think you're not supposed to use Q-tips

I do use cotton swabs, but its important not to push them inside the ear but "to scratch it out".

What you need is one of those strike set nails and a hammer…

Get yourself an Ear Spoon or Pick 🙂

Who says you’re not supposed to use Q-tips? That’s what works best.

I use q tips to keep the dirt and wax from building up causing the itchiness.

Use a cotton swab. Use oil. You'll be fine.
