I constantly have a cotton bud in my ear - most prob twice a day. My ears arent dirty - i just like the feel..it feels soooo good! I know using a bud pushes the wax down and its not good to use one all the time. My husband is depriving me of the buds 
and says that its not a good idea to have a bud in my ear and its good to have some wax…
Please can someone shed some light on this?
P.S - My husband thinks im strange that i do this and he wants me to break this addiction BUT WHHHYYYYYY???

Re: Cottonbud Usage!
My husband doesnt mind but then again, he doesnt even notices half the time! Its actually one blue and one pink cotton poking out of ears..
I know when it gets really bad and i am looking for a bud yet cant find one, i try to use toothpick on the walls of my ears, its that sensation which is so brill…i know yuk! But its 
I love that “ohhhhhhhhhh” feeling…sometimes, i just stand there for at least 5mins with a bud in my ear…
If i should refrain, then tell me why? Give me GOOD reasons on why its bad for you…
Re: Cottonbud Usage!
Can you imagine that you are at a wedding and your ears feel itchy, you take out a hair pin from your hair and start scratching your ear with it…

Re: Cottonbud Usage!
Actually it is very dangerous,one of husband's friend was doing that and suddenly he heard a voice in his ear and his ear was bleeding and then they went to emergency and it took some time to heal up.So be careful its nothealthy to do these things.
Re: Cottonbud Usage!
Alright its getting badddddd!!!
I need to have a GOOD medical reason on why i shouldnt use cotton buds too much..
Guys, i was in bed last night and i had this huge urge to use one - my husband said no - as soon as he went out the room, i jumped out the bed, grabbed one and got into bed again.
That feeling was absolutely wonderful, :biggthumb. He comes into the room and sighed and said NOT AGAIN!!
Its an addiction peeps! Help!!!!!
Re: Cottonbud Usage!
ok dont do it coz it will give u a horrendrous ear infection , i also have this addiction and last year i got an ear infection which was the worst infection ever . my doctor told it is because i have been using too much cotton bud and removing all the wax meant that my ear from inside went all dry went all dry and started cracking . ok now this pain was bad it extended to my jaw and i couldnt eat for a week.
i have had it again this year tooo. i know it is very staisfying but trus me i think my right ear has never been the same after the infection .
Re: Cottonbud Usage!
reason 1: the cotton fibers are left in your ear, and bacteria can grow around those fibers, and give you an infection, that can make you deaf. think about growing fungus in your ears 
reason 2: the wax helps catch the bacteria and dust and other nasty stuff, which if it gets in your body can not only give you a terrible ear infection, but can also make your nose and throat unwell.
btw the ear wax is self draining. it means after a while, just like phlegm goes in your tummy, so does the earwax (not sure if it goes in your tummy). so constant cleaning of earwax is not necessary.
