I have just moved and need to get Debrox because I don't know when I can get to my doc and have her remove it.
How do you cope?

My mom put that stuff in my ears when I was a kid and to this day (half a century later) my ears hardly produce any wax at all!

(28,519 posts)Been using it for around 5 years now and have not had any problems with wax build up that I used to have at least 4 times a year. I use it after every shower..
Not shilling a product here, just what works for me...
It's called a "smart swab"

(36,878 posts)A water pic flosser. Put baby oil in your ear overnight to soften the wax. In the morning fill the water Pic with warm water, then rinse the wax out. Start with low pressure and angle the flow toward the inside wall of the ear canal, away from your eardrum until you get the hang of rinsing out the chunks and bits. Adjust as needed. You could finish with swimmers eardrops if you want fast drying.
I do this. It works way better than debrox, IMO.
