Quality change
I am extremely annoyed that a trusted company has given up on quality to save some money. I have been a long time customer and have noticed the change. The cotton swab is not as full and the sticks are very weak. I have tried store brand cotton swabs in the past to save money, but the quality of them was terrible. Unfortunately, now the Qtip brand is no better than your competitors. Personally, I would have preferred to pay more for the original quality than have the product altered to a flimsy product. At this rate, I might as well purchase the competitor brand to save money.

Drop in QUALITY
I have always used Qtip swabs I am 73 and loved them. BUT.... the quality of the swab stick now is FLIMSY! I cannot use it in the many ways I used to. Even after showering and wiping out ears the swab folds in half. EXTREMELY disappointed in the DROP IN QUALITY. Go back and fix the swabs to their original strength.

Horrible
Horrible. You know it's bad when you are online a review about cotton swabs! I am not sure what has happened to the quality of Qtips swabs but this ain't it. Barely any cotton the sticks. These swabs look mal-nutritioned. At this point, you are just gearing yourself for a lawsuit when someone injures themselves with a poorly manufactured swab. Using these sticks is tantamount to shoving something sharp around your ear canal.

Good but gets soft when wet
Good quality cotton swabs, I use them everyday. 500 count lasts a long time which is nice. Only thing I noticed is the sticks get a little soft/bendy if they get slightly wet, so I try to keep them dry. Still work good for cleaning ears and other stuff around the house.

Terrible quality.
Quality has exponentially dipped over the years. Bends like rubber. Used to be a loyal customer.

Not what they used to be. How disappointing.
I have been buying and using this brand of cotton swab For most of my life, I am 56. The last couple of times that I’ve purchased I’ve noticed the stick isn’t as thick or stable as it used to be. I confirmed this when I found a travel case of them that I had. Now, I may as well save some money and buy the cheaper brands, as that is what these have become. Very disappointed. Why all of a sudden would you change them now? How much money are you saving by disappointing your consumers??

Lost quality
I only by Q-tip brand q-tips and these are NOT the same. The quality has gone down and I notice! The sticks bend and there is less cotton in the tips. Please fix or I will seek another brand.

Q-Tips brand isn’t what they used to be.
Used to be a product that I only bought name brand because the other brands were cheap and the sticks were flimsy. Now I don’t think it even matters. Might as well buy the cheap ones because Q-Tip brand has joined them in producing crap products. Should have written this review sooner or emailed the company years ago. It’s boon happening for far too long.

Poor quality
I have always used this brand but am very disappointed with the quality. Unfortunately I have had way to many that have no cotton on it. It seems to be getting worse. I typically buy the 750 ct, but will most likely change brands.

Q-Tips brand cotton swabs are a name you can trust. Excellent quality and versatile uses, such as applying make up and also for arts and crafts. They are a household staple.

Quality decline
I am writing to express my disappointment in your product. The quality of the product - Q-tip- is horrible. I cannot use a Q-tip without it bending, and the cotton tip is smaller. I have used your brand (original cardboard kind) my whole life because they were good quality until now. I understand companies are cutting back to save money (despite price not going down) but this will cause me to now try another brand. Very disappointed and dissatisfied in your product.
