    These are really good! They do not "unfluff" or unravel like other brands! They aren't scratchy but do a great job holding up!

    Not as good as they used to be

    They must have changed the vendor. I’d been using these for years. The last package I got has the really weak sticks like the store brand from Wally World. I hope Target goes back to the same quality these once were.

    Where did the quality go?

    What happened to these cotton swabs. I have been buying them for over 10 years and they were always better than the name brand. Now the paper stick bends with very little pressure and the ends are scratchy with less cotton. So disappointing. I will no longer be buying these. I hope this isn’t foreshadowing for all up & up brand products.

    Quality Declining

    With prices going up, the quality of products is going down. These swabs bend as you are using to clean your ears, whether it’s the outer or inner ear. In order to not hurt my ear, I have to hold the swab near the cotton end, rather than in the middle.

    Awful

    Target changed their supplier and these new “soft” swabs are TERRIBLE. Poor quality. Guess I’ll be paying more for Q-tip brand so they don’t fall apart. Do better, Target, your competitor is beating you at a lot of stuff right now.

    Work great!

    They work just as well as the name brand for half the cost. The paper sticks make them sturdy enough to all uses like crafts, makeup etc.

    Product changed

    There’s hardly any cotton on the ends it’s like your scraping your ears with this. They used to be good and thus new box quality is awful

    The quality has diminished

    These WERE the only cotton swabs I bought, but the latest box is terrible! They are SO flimsy and bend when try to use them.

    These are the worst bargain q-tips I have ever bought. The stems are weak and they break. I will not be buying again. I will use these for cleaning and give away to anyone needing one.
