Can body butter be used on a cotton swab to clean out ear wax?

    A cotton swab actually pushes the ear wax in deeper and does NOT get all of it out.

    Over time, all you are really doing is causing more build up at the deepest part of the ear.

    Get a product intended for use in the ears.

    No, you should not do that. You shouldn't even stick a cotton swab in there. Use wax treatment from the drug store instead.
