    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.

    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.

    Quality Reduced

    The swabs in my latest box of Q-tips are NOT like the nearly 100 or more boxes I've purchased before! The cotton tip has shrunk significantly! The Q-tip is no longer soft and comforting! The swab feels painful like any generic plastic stick brand. I plan on pointing this out to anyone else who'll listen. Why pay for the Q-tip name anymore when there is no value in it?

    Great swab!

    Generous amount of cotton on tip so no harm to inner ear.

    One sided

    I bought 2 boxes . One side has cotton the other is literally a sharp object. How can 3 boxes be like this?
