    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First and foremost, this is a HUGE amount of a-tips!!! The box came with three full containers inside, 2 with a quantity of 625, and 1 with 500. Our household will never run out of these things! They are exactly what I expected after years of use! Still great, still consistent!

    A Staple for Every Home

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Q-tips are a staple. I mean, is there anything they can’t be used for? In my home we use them for cleaning our exterior ears, make up mistakes, nail polish mistakes, and crevices around faucets. Q-tips also make great art tools. You can use them for crafts, painting details, clean ups, etc. I especially like to use them for landscape paintings to detail flowers and foliage. Competitors can’t compare. With the real Q-tips you know you’re getting a solid stick that won’t bend or collapse, and the softest cotton tips that keep their shape. All in all Q-tips are just so versatile. You will never run out of uses for them.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Q-tips are the best! I use them mostly for removing makeup precisely and for cleaning out my ears (I know I know it’s not recommended but I do it anyways because it works!). They are a staple in my household and the big packages are perfect. I normally keep them in my closest and then put a smaller about in a cute jar for use.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] What a great value! I have enough Q-tips to last me a lifetime …kidding but seriously you get so many! We’re a household of 2 and use these daily for makeup removal, cleaning (great to get into details..Ie keyboard) , even painting! This pack will likely last us well over a year with daily use. Seriously the best! Sturdy, no scent and effective. The only cotton swab brand that I use.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Q-Tips are the best! They have so many different uses all over the house! I start my day using them in the bathroom after my shower. Quick clean on the outside of my ear, and with my makeup remover to remove excess mascara. Then, when I do my makeup, the cotton texture is perfect to blend or even remove makeup from unwanted areas. They are even effective cleaning tools, especially if you need to get in small areas to clean. Great product!

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Q-tips are a must-have in my house. They’re soft, sturdy, and way better than the off-brand ones that fall apart when you touch them. I use them for makeup clean-ups and random little cleaning jobs, and they always come through. I gave four stars instead of five because the cotton doesn’t feel as thick and fluffy as it used to. It's not a dealbreaker, but I miss the old-school quality. Still, I always keep a big box stocked because nothing compares.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] There is no better cotton swab than the Q-tips brand. The amount of cotton on the tip is the perfect amount for a variety of uses. I use them all the time. I use them for applying or fixing my makeup, first aid, and to clean electronics. They have no scent which is great for someone like me who is sensitive to smells. I even carry Q-tips in my purse just in case of an emergency. I will always have Q-tips brand swabs in my house.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Q-Tips Cotton Swabs are truly the gold standard! I’ve tried other brands in the past, but nothing compares to the quality and durability of Q-Tips. The cotton is soft, full, and securely attached—never flimsy or unraveling. The sticks are sturdy without being too rigid, making them perfect for everything from gentle personal care to precise household uses. I love how versatile they are—great for makeup touch-ups, cleaning small spaces, applying ointments, and of course everyday hygiene. It’s one of those products I always keep stocked in the house because they’re simply reliable and consistently high quality. If you want a cotton swab that doesn’t bend, break, or skimp on cotton, Q-Tips is the only choice. Five stars all the way!

    That feeling when they go in your ear is amazing. Unscented qtips are the way to go to avoid headaches, but if you get scented you ale rice candles. Packed nicely easy to grab
