I always make use of cotton buds to clean inside my ear after taking my bathing. This is because immediately after the bath, the water that enters my ear makes it easier for me to clean out the dirt with the cotton buds. Unfortunately for me, the last time I wanted to use it, the cotton on the bud slipped inside my ear and it took a lot of poking before it was removed. My ear hurts like hell.
Are you feeling better after this injury? My daughter's pediatrician told us to never use those to clean the ears and the reason is because people tend to insert them too far. I hate having water in my ears after a shower so I've been using them. I wonder if I make it worse by daily using them?
