Looking after it

Rinse the bottle and tips in warm water after each use and leave them to dry fully with the tip removed. Replace any tip that has split or perished. Tips are personal items and should not be shared.

Soft Silicone TipsSit at the opening of the canal rather than being pushed into it
More Than One Tip SizeSo it fits different ears rather than one size for everyone
ReusableRinse, dry and use again. Tips are the only part that wears out
Gentle and RepeatableFlush lightly several times rather than forcing it once

Rinse the wax out instead of pushing it in

Use warm water at body temperature, aim at the canal wall rather than straight in, and stop if it hurts.

It is not for impacted wax, and it must not be used on an ear that is painful or discharging, or if you have a perforated eardrum, grommets or a history of ear surgery.

Ear Washer and Ear Irrigation Kit

Most people clean their ears with a cotton bud, and most blockages are made worse that way. A bud fits neatly into the canal, so what it mostly does is compact the wax further in. An ear washer works the other way round: warm water goes in gently along the canal wall and comes back out, bringing loose wax with it.

Ear Washer and Ear Irrigation Kit

Use it with water at body temperature. Water much colder or hotter than that can make you feel dizzy or sick, which is a known effect and nothing to do with the product being faulty. Tilt your head over a sink, aim the tip at the wall of the canal rather than straight down it, and squeeze gently. Let it drain, then repeat if you need to. Several light flushes beat one hard one.

Ear Washer and Ear Irrigation Kit

It is for wax you can see or feel near the opening. It is not for a blockage deep in the canal: that is impacted wax, and it needs a clinician with a light and a proper suction tool. Forcing water at impacted wax is how eardrums get damaged. If the ear will not clear after a couple of gentle attempts, stop and book an appointment.

Ear Washer and Ear Irrigation Kit

Do not use it at all on an ear that is painful, discharging, swollen or infected, and do not use it if you have a perforated eardrum, grommets, or have had ear surgery. Water reaching the middle ear through a perforation causes real problems. If you are unsure whether any of that applies to you, ask before you buy.

Ear Washer and Ear Irrigation Kit

The tips are silicone and come in more than one size, which matters more than it sounds: a tip that is too small gets pushed in too far. Rinse everything through after use, let it dry, and keep your own tips rather than sharing them.

Not sure yet? That is fine.

You can change your mind. Under the Consumer Rights Directive (2011/83/EU) you have 14 days from delivery to cancel for any reason, and a further 14 days to send it back in resaleable condition. We refund the price you paid, including standard delivery.

If it turns up faulty, damaged or not as described, that is on us. The EU sale of goods rules (Directive (EU) 2019/771) covers you, we pay the return postage, and you can have a repair, a replacement or your money back.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an ear washer?

A squeeze bottle or bulb with soft tips that flushes the ear canal with warm water to loosen and rinse out excess wax.

How do I use it?

Warm the water to body temperature, tilt your head over a sink or towel, aim the tip at the canal wall rather than straight in, and squeeze gently. Let the water and wax drain out. Stop if it hurts.

Why body-temperature water?

Water that is too cold or too hot can make you dizzy or nauseous. Body temperature avoids that.

How often should I use it?

Only when there is a build-up bothering you. Ears clear themselves most of the time, and frequent flushing dries and irritates the canal.

Is it better than cotton buds?

Yes. Cotton buds push wax deeper, which is how most blockages get worse. Rinsing lifts wax out instead.

Can I use it if my ear hurts?

No. Pain, discharge, swelling or a fever means see a doctor. Do not irrigate a painful ear.

Can I use it with a perforated eardrum?

No. Never irrigate an ear with a perforation, grommets, or a history of ear surgery. Water in the middle ear can cause serious problems.

Can children use it?

Not on their own, and not at all for a young child without asking a doctor first. Children's canals are small and easily hurt.

Will it remove impacted wax?

Probably not, and you should not force it. Wax impacted deep in the canal needs a clinician who can see what they are doing.

What if the ear still feels blocked?

Stop. Repeated flushing of an ear that will not clear irritates the canal. Book with a clinician instead.

Does it clean both ears at once?

No, do one ear at a time and let each drain fully before starting the other.

How do I dry my ear afterwards?

Tilt your head to let the water run out and pat the outer ear dry. Do not poke anything into the canal to dry it.

What is in the kit?

The washer body, soft tips in more than one size, and the basin or catch basin depending on the pack. Check the listing photos for the exact contents.

What are the tips made of?

Silicone. They are soft so they sit at the opening of the canal rather than being pushed into it.

Are the tips reusable?

Yes. Rinse them in warm water after each use and let them dry fully. Tips are personal items, so do not share them.

Can I share the kit with family?

Everyone needs their own tips. Sharing tips passes infection between people.

Can I use ear drops with it?

Softening drops used for a few days beforehand can make flushing easier. Follow the drops' own instructions, and ask a pharmacist if you are unsure.

Can I use hydrogen peroxide?

Ask a pharmacist first. Some people react badly to it and it is not suitable for every ear.

Can I use it after swimming?

Clearing visible wax can help trapped water drain. If the ear is sore or itchy after swimming, that needs a clinician rather than flushing.

Is it suitable for hearing aid users?

Yes, for visible wax in the outer canal. Hearing aid users tend to produce more wax. Your audiologist should clean the aids themselves.

Is it suitable for older users?

Wax builds up more with age and gentle flushing is a common way to manage it. Skip it entirely with a perforation, grommets, recent surgery or any pain.

Does it hurt?

It should not. You should feel warm water and nothing more. If there is pain, stop.

How much water do I need?

Enough to flush gently and repeatedly rather than forcefully once. Refill and go again rather than squeezing hard.

Can I use tap water?

In most of Europe yes, warmed to body temperature. If you would not drink your tap water, use cooled boiled water instead.

How do I clean the bottle?

Rinse it through with warm water after each use and leave it to drain dry with the tip removed.

How long does it last?

It is reusable indefinitely as long as the tips stay intact. Replace a tip that is split or perished.

Does it come with instructions?

Yes, printed instructions are in the box. Read them before the first use rather than during it.

What if I feel dizzy while using it?

Stop and sit down. Dizziness usually means the water was too cold or too warm. If it continues, see a doctor.

Is this a medical device?

We sell it as a personal ear care tool for home use, not as a medical device, and we make no clinical claims for it.

What is the delivery and returns position?

Free delivery across Europe on orders over EUR 50, otherwise a flat EUR 22. It is a stock item, so you have the full 14 days to change your mind.

Buying Guide

Why rinsing beats poking

Most people clean their ears with a cotton bud, and most blockages are made worse that way. A bud is about as wide as the ear canal, so it works like a plunger: a little wax comes away on the tip and the rest is compacted further in, where you cannot reach it. A great deal of the impacted wax that clinicians remove was put there by a cotton bud.

An ear washer works the other way round. Warm water goes in gently along the wall of the canal and comes back out, bringing loose wax with it.

Using it

Fill the bottle with water at body temperature. This matters more than it sounds: water much colder or hotter than body temperature can make you feel dizzy or slightly sick, which is a normal response and not a fault in the product.

Tilt your head over a sink or a towel with the ear facing down. Choose a tip that sits comfortably at the opening of the canal without being pushed in. Aim the tip at the canal wall rather than straight down the middle, and squeeze gently. Let the water drain, then repeat if you need to. Several light flushes work better than one hard one, and if it hurts at any point, stop.

Afterwards, tilt your head to let the water run out and pat the outer ear dry. Do not poke anything into the canal to dry it.

Where it stops

This clears wax at the outer part of the canal, which is the part you can safely reach. It will not clear a deep impaction, and forcing water at one is how eardrums get hurt. If two gentle attempts have not shifted a blockage, stop and book an appointment. A clinician can see what they are doing and has proper suction, and it is usually a five minute job.

Softening drops used for a few days beforehand, from any pharmacy, often make flushing easier and sometimes make it unnecessary.

When not to use it at all

Do not use it on an ear that is painful, discharging, swollen or infected, and do not use it if you have a perforated eardrum, grommets, or have had ear surgery. Water reaching the middle ear through a perforation causes real problems. If you are not sure whether any of that applies to you, ask a clinician before you buy.

Looking after it

Rinse the bottle and the tips through with warm water after each use and leave them to dry with the tip removed. Tips are personal items. Replace any that split or perish, and do not share them.
