The best q-tip brand
These are top quality. Do not compare to other off brands. They do not bend when you are trying to use them. The cotton does not easily unravel or come off. So many ways to use these besides cleaning your ears. I even use them to paint with my kids. They are just a bit pricier than off brands but I will always buy these instead.

Severe Decline in Quality
These used to be great but something changed and now they are unusable. So flimsy they bend completely with the slightest pressure and the cotton comes off all over everything. It’s too loose and thin now on the end. I will never buy the Q-tip brand again. I have an old box with a few left I compared them to and the difference is like night and day. It’s like they are a dollar store q-tip now.

Household staple
I love using Q-tips for quick clean ups for my nails and makeup. They are handy if you have a rouge eye booger too, sunce they are soft but sturdy. You get so much in the package that you never feel like it's a waste

Great value for money
Great value for money, last me ages, slim packaging able to take away with me, non scented, works very well at removing wax from ears, using for makeup. Soft texture so doesn’t hurt when using.

The material, cotton, and assembly are quality
Tips always beat out stupid competitions for several reasons, the cotton is wound tight enough to not come off the end, but not to tight that it hurts when cleaning your ears.

Amazing for perfecting eye makeup.
Sooo great for cleaning up your eyes after applying mascara, touching up eyeshadow or eyeliner, and ensuring your eye makeup stays fresh, neat, and flawless throughout the day.

Cotton Swabs NOT the same
Your cotton swabs have gone downhill in the last I would say year or two. You are making them cheaper than the stem from Q-tip to Q-tip bends when you stick them in your ears to clean out your ears. Very disappointed.

Hate how they changed to shrinkflation
Will they ever go back to the qtips of a few years ago? They used to be perfection now they just cause damage in my ears and not as efficient in helping make up applications either.

Favorite product!
Q-tips Cotton Swabs are very effective and can be used for so many things — from cleaning ears to applying makeup. They don’t have any scent, which is great for sensitive people. The texture is soft and gentle, yet firm enough so the cotton doesn’t come apart. The packaging is simple, clean, and easy to open and store. Overall, they offer excellent value and are a staple in every household.

Where's the Cotton!
Just bought a 3 pack and the new Q-tips are clearly cutting back on the cotton. Scratch my ear trying to clean it. Gave all these Q-tips away and have now gone to a different manufacture after 35 years.
