    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.

    The quality of these has gone downhill. They stick together in the package and half the swabs are missing cotton on one side or are unusable.

    Do not use these in ears

    Obviously, the package states not to use these in your ears. But I’m willing to bet many of you will, just like I did. Please opt for the namebrand Q-tips if you’re planning to use any cotton swabs in your ears. I bought these instead of the namebrand because they were cheaper, but little did I know this would result in me having constantly irritated your canals for the next few years. These are much more abrasive than namebrand and can easily damage the delicate skin in your ear canal. I switched back to the namebrand and my problem has immediately gone away.

    Target Promo Card is a SCAM

    Be aware when shopping at Target: the “promo gift card” offers are NOT actually free, it's a SCAM. You are essentially being charged for those gift cards as part of the promotion. After purchasing the required items, I was charged for all of the so-called promo gift cards, and customer service has refused to issue a refund. Just a heads up, so others don’t get caught off guard as I did.
