    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.

    Andi - 9 days ago, Verified purchaser
    These cotton swabs are so flimsy, I find them to be potentially dangerous. The tips bend and break at the slightest pressure. I didn't expect name brand quality but I certainly expected more than this brand provides in the way of safety and quality.

    Whatever was changed, these swabs are horrible now. The stick is too flimsy now, and the cotton is loose so bits will definitely get stuck on your ear

    It’s so unfortunate that I’m writing this because I was a ride or die Target customer. I’ve exclusively bought Up & Up toilet paper, paper towels and cotton swabs FOR YEARS… I wouldn’t go anywhere else ever…Through the price increases and all. Within the last 5 months all of targets Up & Up brand has suffered MAJOR quality downgrades. Nothing is the same and it’s not minor changes either… it’s enough for me to finally say they’ve lost a customer. Very sad because I was so loyal. Now I have to find somewhere else to buy all my things. These cotton swabs unravel before they even come out of the box and the sticks bend VERY easily. They’re unusable now.

    Not as cushiony as name brand. Does the job but the tip starts to come off and I can feel the actual stick. Not so pleasant when cleaning around the ears.

    Jacckkiiee_l - 3 months ago, Verified purchaser
    I used to love these a lot and the quality was equal to brand but now they changed the image and the product which quality sucks. I can’t get one piece out of the box without seeing one of the tips already come undone. Also, when I clean my ears the same way I always have, the moment I take it out of my ear the cotton is already hanging off. The cotton part is very loose, would not recommend unless you don’t mind not having a steady tip 😬
