Make sure the ear canal is dry. Take one stick off the tray, insert it a short way, never deep, and rotate it once so the adhesive tip makes contact. Pull it back out and look at the tip. The whole thing takes about as long as reading this sentence.

The tip works by adhesion, and adhesive needs a dry surface to grip. Straight after a shower, a swim or the gym there is moisture in the way and the stick will come out looking almost clean. Move it to before the shower and it works properly.

Most people settle on a couple of times a week rather than daily. Ears are largely self-cleaning and there is no benefit to going looking for wax that is not there. If the stick keeps coming out clean, you are cleaning more often than you need to.

Rinse it under the tap, stand it somewhere to dry, and the tack comes back. People commonly stay on the same stick for weeks. When it stops feeling tacky after a rinse, take a fresh one. There are 24 in a box.

Under 12s with a guardian doing it, not on their own. Anyone with an ear condition, grommets, a perforation or a history of ear surgery should ask their doctor before using anything in the ear, including this.

No. This is daily maintenance for what is within reach of the tip. Genuinely impacted wax needs softening drops, irrigation or a clinician, and often more than one of those. Buying this hoping it will clear a blockage is the one way to be disappointed by it.

No. It is a personal care tool. It is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any condition, and we are not going to imply otherwise.

If an ear is painful, discharging, genuinely blocked, ringing, or your hearing has changed suddenly. Those are all reasons to speak to a clinician rather than reach for a cleaning tool.

The advice you were given was about cotton swabs, and it was about geometry rather than morality. A swab is close to the width of the canal, so pushing it in makes it act like a piston. These are thin enough that they never seal the canal, so they cannot compact anything, and the work happens on the way out.
