Q: Is this for cleaning your ears. Please give me an idea?

submitted by - 2 months ago

  • A: The package does say these can be used for ears, however they are terrible for this use. I don't recommend them for ears. I'm not usually picky about these, but I won't buy these again and had to donate them for art projects instead. They don't have enough cotton to be used for ears.

    They work

    The cotton doesn't come unspooled from the stick like cheaper ones. It's sturdy and it doesn't break. Always a repeat purchase, good value.

    Worst cotton swab

    These are by far the worst quality swab purchased and I won’t purchase it again. The stick barely holds up and not stiff at all.

    Not for ears

    It states on the package you can use these for ears, but they are not soft enough for this. I do not recommend them for ears.

    Flimsy and Cheap

    So flimsy they're hard to use. The stick bends with basically no pressure. I started to forget that cotton swabs used to be functional before I purchased a different brand and realized in comparison how much these suck. Why has Target brand quality declined so much?

    Used to be good - now garbage

    These used to be better than Q-Tips and the stems were sturdy. Now, the stems just bend with the slightest pressure, basically making them unusable. Total garbage. Do not buy. You'll just throw them out and will have wasted your money.

    Changed for the worse

    The cotton ends become unraveled very quickly. Previous orders, the quality was comparable to the brand Qtips.

    Disappointing

    The quality of these has significantly declined. Ouch! There’s not enough cotton on the ends to use comfortably. Looks like this box is going to be used strictly for crafts. So disappointed that they have made a change to their product. I won’t be buying the again!

    Meh

    These used to be a quality substitute for the name brand but the stick is so flimsy now, it bends with the slightest pressure.
