My mom always bought Q-Tips so I grew up knowing they were the best to use. She also had a pop-up dispenser that enable you to push down on the top and 1 Q-Tip would pop up with using just one hand. I would love to be able to get one of those dispensers.

I bought a 625 pack of Q-tips and was disappointed in how many of the swabs had a bad end with not enough cotton. I only buy Q-tip brand because the quality is usually perfect.

I just bought a package of Q-Tips and I am disappointed. The swab is way to flexible and bend easily. Generic cotton swabs are sturdier and I will be using them from this day forward unless your company can rectify the issue.

Not able to clean ears out because the stick bends too much. I will need to start looking around for a different brand but likely Qtip maybe the only in the market

Been using for many years and you can't beat Q-tips. They're strong and easy to control by their firm structure. The cotton swabs at both ends do not fall off or shred like other knock off brands.

So much less

Over the years, my favorite has become mediocre, at best. Less & less cotton, and now the sticks are so darn flimsy that they bend during use. Yes, Unilever, we notice.

I love this brand! It is made well and durable. It does not bend like the cheap kinds. I'm happy with how this is made and will continue to use this brand. No scent. Good value for your money.

Not the same!

I’ve been a customer since I can remember. That will change. Just bought a new box. Says “new look, same great product “. NO it isn’t. The reason I have stuck with and paid more for your product was the quality. That like the rest of the world has changed and yes I noticed. Your product is now flimsy and the stick bends and is just like the CHEAP products I avoided. This will be the last box of Q Tips that I purchase. No need to pay additional for the same product others are charging less for. Quality is same. VERY disappointed.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These Q-tips work great! In my opinion most don’t compare to these. They work well for various reason beyond just using for ears. They are sturdy, firm yet soft cotton. I feel they actually work better than others I’ve tried. I’m not exactly sure what “hygiene shield” is but it says it protects cotton from germs. Sounds good to me! Overall I use these time and again and glad they come in large quantities!

Going cheap!

Unfortunately this product is going backwards with the manufacturing process and getting cheaper using products that are not the same as before. You can’t even clean your ears out with these tips now without them bending in half. The other brands that this product used to put by the wayside are now surpassing Q-Tips brand!

After the pandemic Qtips quality has gone way down!! I have used Qtips for years, grew up only using Qtips. They are now just as bad as all the generic knockoffs. Never did the swabs used to fall off the stick. Which is why my parents only used and I as an adult continued using. Now it’s just as unusual to have a swab stay on just as the other brands! Do better Qtip!! Better off buying generic and saving some money for the same bad quality products!! Here’s showing how clean and easy the swab falls off! Thinking I will write a bad review after each bad swab I encounter!! The fact that all the good reviews got something in return says a whole not to me!

I just wanted to let you know that your quality has went way down. One side of the Q tip there is no cotton on it just opened the new carton almost every one I take out I can only use one side. Your box state's Stands For Quality I don't think so anymore. I think I'm going to try equate Q tips they are cheaper and hopefully they have cotton on both sides.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have always loved Q-tips. I use them for small cuts and scrapes. I use them to touch up my makeup. I use them for cleaning small areas. I also use them to help clean up crafts. These are wonderful and just as good as the original! I would recommend it to anyone!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Antimicrobial! These super soft cotton tops are treated to shield against microbes , as if the Q-tips could get any better - and yet - yes, yes they can with this new feature. Great product, sturdy "stem" !

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] What is there to say about qtips? They are great. They work well for so many different things. They are comfortable to hold and clean things well. Not sure about the effectiveness of the antibacterial claim but over all a great product
