I insert the cotton swab into my ear canal. I do. I can not help myself. It seems to be the only way to rid my ears of unsightly ear wax build-up. And even that doesn't always take care of the problem. Sometimes, within a few hours of cleaning, a loose piece of wax will just fall out, after I've taken such care to prevent such a disaster.
Time to come clean. You do it too, don't you?

Hell, yes I clean my ears. THIS is a confession? Are you telling me that there are people out there (people we know, shudder) who just let wax build up to the point where it's overflowing the canals of their ears?
Eww. I don't want to know. If you don't clean your ears, I don't want to know.

No. I once stuck a Q-tip with an extra long wooden stick in my ear and had a serious 2 week long infection. Now outsides only with Q-tip, washcloth inside.

almost every day. but that's really to dry them, I am so prone to ear infections if water stays in.
another way to clean is a combination of hyrogen peroxide and alcohol. make sure that they are warmed up though. squirt in the ear, let set and soak and then inject more to flush it out.
if you don't warm it up though you can get really dizzy

I am a canal cleaner too.
Sometimes, I stick the QTip so far in, it makes me cough...

If Jacob could type, he'd confess that maybe if his mother looked at his ears more frequently, she'd have seen the eraser he'd inserted into said ear.
That was so not fun getting it out. Warm water & vinegar hooked up to a mini air-compressor x 4 to removed the thing. Our very first trip to the doc too. Nice.
I am, however, not a direction follower myself and I do put the q-tip in my own ear canal very frequently. Helps me to feel like I've gotten the water out if nothing else. The kids get a washcloth though. I'd hate to hurt their little ears.
