q-tips
I use Q-Tips a lot, because I don't like to think that there is any gross stuff in my ears, and I heard that if you use Q-Tips too much, you can get ear infections. How often is too often to use them? How many times a day should I use them? Once? Twice? I use them once to twice a day, and I'm afraid that I'll get an ear infection if I use them too much, but I don't know when I shouldn't use them.

Ears are designed to clean out themselves buddi! so take a break from the q-tips, and let your ears do their job! ask if you wish to know more on how the ear cleanses itself...:D:D:D

Once a day, at the absolute most.
Your ears are self clensing. That means, unless you are sick, they will keep themselves clean. That is actually what most of that "gross stuff" is for, to keep your ears clean and healthy. When you remove it, you make it more likely for you to get infections.
Try to stop worrying so much about it and lay off the Q-Tips.

I'd do it every other day if you HAVE to. Removing it too much can cause damage. and removing it not often at all is unhygienic. Be gentle and don't go prodding it in deep!

I think once a day is enough.
Just dont stick it too far into your ear canal, thats how you can do damage.
