I dont know why but I always q-tip my ears after the shower, but then i heard that it can harm your ears because you can take out too much wax that would otherwise protect your ears.
I clean them daily also. Not going all up in them, just enough to remove excess water, logically, ear wax stays in the ear. So removing the excess on the other part cant be that bad. Its just a habit ive had since I was a child.
