Better ear cleaning tools exist. They are little plastic scoops. I used to use a bent paperclip. Basically anything you can put into the ear canal and then pull/scoop/scrape earwax out is far better than a qtip, which only compacts wax into clumps. The one good use case for the qtip is drying. They can absorb water well inside the ear canal and belly button. I personally use them on my navel after showering since I have an "innie"
I'm going crazy this goddamn thread.
Don't shove things into your orifices. Wash your ears maybe with the help of your wet fingers under the shower. If you got fat fingers or tiny ears, maybe use cotton swabs etc on the other most area of the ear canal to clean away excess.
Your ear is self cleaning. Dont stick anything in it.
Like do people stuff cotton up their urethra to dry it after peeing? Leave your holes alone.
BUT I HUNGER
Food hole is the exception
