Q-Tips. Every alternative I've ever tried fucks it up somehow. too much cotton that it comes off, not enough and it's scratchy, cardboard sticks that dissolve the second a single drop gets on them, or plastic ones that don't hold onto the cotton (which is, as discussed, almost certainly already inadequate), and the weight and balance are always off too. Now, I ain't trying to impact my earwax here (which is very annoying BTW), but nobody only cleans the outside with the Q-Tip.
The plastic ones are super flimsy. So annoying.
They've been banned in europe for at least two years now, I only wish they did this with more plastic products. It's easy to figure out alternatives for most of them
