my personal opinion? use them. i use them on my girl's ears and hers are very clean. (the safety baby kind that don't go in too deep). and i use the regular ones one my ears daily - my doctor often tells me how clean my ears are too, so i guess they work! :)

i clean my daughters ears every few days. and we have never had a problem our pediatrician doesnt even check her ears. not that i've noticed anyway, i will keep using them i dont think they are in anyway harmful.

i use them too. I normally try to wipe this ear with a washcloth first and will only use qtips for ear wax that are pushed out from the hole. I don't care to go in.

I'm just the opposite. I've never used a q-tip to clean my son's ears. I just use a wash cloth when he takes his bath.

At first I was not cleaning Amayas ears with a q-tip (I had heard it was bad and the doctor told us not to) then she got an ear infection in both ears so I did the medicine thing (still not cleaning them with q-tips) and then she got another one. I talked with my mom and she said she cleaned mine and I never got an ear infection at all, so I have started cleaning Amaya's ears (she loves it!) and at the last appt with her doctor she told us how good her ears look. We only use the baby safe q-tips so they dont go too far in.
