I've only used two things to clean my ear before. I've used a paper clip [not the massively huge ones] & Q-tips. Paperclips are kind of dangerous because they can break inside your ear, so I don't really recommend them. Q-tips are usually okay because they have cotton & the ear-wax will stick. However, don't use them alot, and if it hurts, you're putting it too far into your ear.

Don't use a Q-tip, that just pushes it further in. Use a pen cap or something. If it hurts, then you're pushing it in too far and you should stop.

I wouldn't call your family "weird," it isn't a very safe or healthy thing to do though. Best thing to do is use a Q-tip, and that'll take care of it.

Nah, they aren't weird. I use bobbypins to clean my ears because it scrapes all of the gunk out of there WAY better than a Qtip.

If it hurts, DON'T DO IT. You can get nasty infections.
If the stick you're referring to is a cotton bud/q tip, then alot of people use them. They shouldn't be used too often, however. and they definitely shouldn't be pushed too far in the ear canal.

I have never. But, whatever floats your boat!
