I love, love, LOVE cleaning ears! I dig around in there until I find that waxy orange treasure. We call it pumpkin in my house and if the kids ears are clean I ask them why they haven't fertilised the pumpkins... where is mummy's fun!! Sometimes I do dig a bit too deep and the kids let me know... I know you shouldn't dig around, but I LOVE IT. Maybe I won't love it so much when my kids are deaf...
Candles are fun, but I've only used them on DH. He has quite waxy ears, it's why I married him When you're done, you can cut the candle open and see how much wax you've sucked out and it always sucks some new pumpkin up to the outer ear where you can get it with a cotton tip.
I hate it when you look at someone side on and see orange wax dripping out of their ears. It's all I can do not to whip out a cotton tip and clean up that pumpkin!!
My DD and DH both have waxy ears. DD's is managable by cleaning with cotton buds but DH is out of control. He doesn't manage it at all and ends up having to syringe them which I find rather gross. DH's gets so bad he can't hear anything.
