Definitely! The initial softness of One Glide Ear MAXCLEAN's silicone head tip is intentional and serves a crucial purpose. During the first few uses, it effectively softens the earwax, making it easier to remove. It's important to note that the softness of the silicone tip is deliberately designed to prevent any damage to the ear canal. Traditional wax cleaners that are too hard can potentially bruise the ear canal, leading to faster wax accumulation. With One Glide's spiral tip made from high-quality, soft silicone, you can ensure maximum effectiveness while preventing any harm to your ear canal. We recommend using One Glide Ear MAXCLEAN consistently for a few weeks to witness its full effectiveness in removing ear wax.
