My family loves Q-tips. They really clean ears and do much more. The smooth cotton is soft on the skin. You get a lot in the package, and they last quite a while.

Q-tips have the perfect texture — soft, plush cotton that feels gentle yet stays firmly in place, making them ideal for both beauty and household use. They have no noticeable scent, which I love because it keeps them versatile for everything from makeup touch-ups to first aid. The classic packaging is sturdy and easy to open, with enough swabs to last a long time. For the price, the value is unbeatable — you truly get premium quality at an affordable cost. In terms of effectiveness, they’re unmatched: precise for detail work, absorbent for cleaning, and durable so they don’t bend easily. Q-tips are a tried-and-true essential that I’ll always repurchase.

Q-TIPS Anti-Microbial swabs are just like the regular ones but cleaner. The box is sturdy, easy to reseal, and keeps things sanitary. The swabs are soft, don’t unravel, and feel like high quality cotton. They’re supposed to help stop bacteria from growing on them (you won’t notice it, but it’s good to know right? lol). They’re great for cleaning makeup mistakes, ears, keyboards or anything else that needs to stay clean. It’s made with real cotton and paper sticks, so they’re eco-friendlier too, thats a plus! Only con: they don’t clearly list the anti-microbial ingredient, which might bug some sensitive skin folks. Slightly more expensive than regular Q-TIPS, but still great to use. It’s also easy to toss in a bag or keep by the sink

These Q-tips are high quality and incredibly versatile. The cotton tips are tightly wound, and the stick is sturdy enough not to bend or break. I use them for personal hygiene, detailing electronics, applying ointments, and even art projects. A true multi-purpose tool!

This is the only brand I’ve ever used. The product has not changed to me. Value is great. Packaging could probably improve a little, but over all it’s effective. The cotton texture doesn’t come off easy like the off-brand kind. There is no scent.

There’s something incredibly satisfying about the texture of a Q-tip. The soft cotton at the tip feels smooth and pillowy, like a tiny cloud perfectly rolled for precision. It’s not rough or scratchy—instead, it glides gently across skin or inside the ear with just the right amount of firmness beneath the fluff. The balance between softness and structure makes it perfect for everything from makeup touch-ups to gentle cleaning. You can feel how tightly the cotton is wound, giving it a neat, consistent surface that doesn’t fall apart or leave fuzz behind. Whether dry or slightly damp, it keeps its shape and texture beautifully. It’s so light and comforting to the touch that using one can feel oddly calming, like a tiny spa moment in the middle of your routine. It’s simple, but surprisingly perfect

Absolutely love Q-tips! I’ve been using these for forever and no matter what other brand of cotton swab I have tried, I always come back to Q-tips. There are ton in the package and even with every day use, it lasts me months. I use these for makeup application, cleaning in tiny spaces, cleaning between my newborns toes and fingers, etc. The cotton is strong and soft all at once. For such a simple product, it sure is versatile and effective.

Excellent texture and effectiveness, It's multifunctional and the cotton is durable. Good packaging, I'd like them to change the packaging so the product is protected from dust. Doesn’t have scent.

Staple in my routine

I’ve always trusted Q-tips for their quality, but the antimicrobial version takes it up a notch. The cotton stays firmly on the tip (no unraveling like with cheaper brands), and it feels good knowing there’s an extra layer of hygiene built in. I use these for everything—from cleaning ears (gently!) to fixing makeup and even cleaning small electronics. They feel sturdy, don’t bend too easily, and the cotton is soft but dense enough to be effective. The antimicrobial feature doesn’t change the feel or function, but it gives me peace of mind, especially if I’m using them around cuts or sensitive areas. Definitely worth it if you want a cleaner, more reliable swab.

I recently tried the Q-tips Antimicrobial Cotton Swabs, and I'm really impressed with this enhanced version of a household staple! The **packaging** is the classic, familiar Q-tips box, which is practical and easy to store. It keeps the swabs neatly organized and protected, ensuring they remain clean until ready for use. As for **scent**, there is none, which is exactly what you want from a cotton swab. They're odorless, ensuring they don't introduce any unwanted fragrance during use. The **texture** of the cotton tips is soft, yet firm and securely wrapped around the stick. They feel gentle on the skin while being effective for precise application or cleaning. The antimicrobial treatment is infused into the cotton, so it doesn't alter the texture at all. What sets these apart is their **effectiveness**. Beyond the standard utility of Q-tips for makeup touch-ups, cleaning delicate areas, or crafts, the antimicrobial aspect provides an added layer of hygiene. This gives me extra peace of mind, especially when using them for sensitive applications. They effectively clean and apply, with the bonus of inhibiting bacterial growth on the swab itself. While the specific antimicrobial **ingredients** aren't overtly highlighted, the fact that they are incorporated into a trusted brand like Q-tips speaks to a commitment to enhanced hygiene, without compromising the core quality. It's a subtle but significant upgrade to an essential product. Overall, the Q-tips Antimicrobial Cotton Swabs are a smart innovation. They maintain the excellent quality and versatility of traditional Q-tips while offering an extra benefit of antimicrobial protection, making them even more reliable for a multitude of uses!
