A: The box I just purchased says "Made in Turkey".
submitted bymathe - 1 year ago
A: The box states Made In Turkey. So when your answer to the question from another user means one or more of: 1) you are misinformed; 2) packaging is incorrect. One of both need fixing.

A: Nothing beats Q-tips. I have tried
other brands and they are weak and bend. Spend the extra money and get the real thing. You won't regret it.

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.

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?

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?

Somethings wrong, quality and material is gone
I decided to purchase again even though the last pkg I bought was horrible, (sticks breaking or easily bending while cleaning ears, 50% of pkg had missing cotton on ends or very minimal) I just figured I got a bad batch and since I've been dedicated to only using Qtip Brand for 10+ years. Well, the 2nd pkg was basically the same quality and same flaws. So I have come to conclusion this isn't a bad batch or batches, this clearly screams this brand has decided to cut back on quality and material. I even went out on the web to see if other buyers noticed a change and there are so many complaints matching the same concerns I have addressed. I will not be buying Qtip brand anymore until I hear they have addressed this issues. Id be better off buying equate or up & up.

These fall apart quite easily. The generic brand is MUCH better.

The cotton comes off like never before. I thought with it being a good brand it would be more durable than how they are.

Trusted product
The only brand of swabs I buy. Ives used them my entire life so why change a trusted product.
