Please stop cutting costs on production This is the only product worth every dollar spent for it!! You are ruining it by making it to where we cannot apply any pressure without the stick bending in half…. Making it impossible to get my ears cleaned at all!!! Please put the money back into what it takes to make a Q-tip last and I promise you I will spend every dollar to get them for the rest of my days!!!

I've always bought Qtips brand because of the quality. New package I just bought has very bendable paper sticks. That is why I never bought generic Qtips. So if Qtips brand is going to be the same as generic, I guess I'll save some money and buy generic.

Bought a new look box this afternoon. The new q-tips have thinner shafts and as a result they’re floppy. Shrinkflation strikes again

I always buy Q-Tips. This box of 500 has been the worst…:(. The tips continue to fall off from the stick after one swipe. I’ve never had this issue before!! I bought another box and they have been fine so far!
Quality has gone DRASTICALLY downhill

What happened??? Q-Tip used to be the gold standard for cotton swabs. Not sure when things changed but they're flimsier and barely have cotton anymore. Feels like a rip off. Avoid if possible.

In the past, I bought the Q-tip brand, knowing that the sticks are not going to bend when I use them. Not the case anymore. The sticks are flimsy and completely unuseful to me. I will no longer purchase your brand.

I always buy the name brand tips because they are good. The last box I bought are awful. They are not strong like they used to be. They are small, the cotton falls off and they bend easy. I could save money and have better quality getting a generic brand. Very disappointed.

I just recently purchased a new box of Q-tips. I still had some in the box from a previous purchase. The new box of Q-tips are visibly smaller than the old ones. I spent more money on less of the product even the cotton stick is thinner. Why is that, people are struggling & you're giving the consumer less for their money , that's not right but I guess that doesn't concern you. I would appreciate a refund . I purchased the 500 count box
Disappointed in their recent product

I am a long user of Q-tips and their products. Recently, after purchasing a new box and using them. The quality is not the same. The cotton portion does not have enough cotton and their base bends so easily. Photo of old version Q-tips vs new version. You can clearly see the difference and this company is starting their shrinkflation process. Very disappointed in their recently quality.
Not as sturdy

We are very disappointed that Q Tips these days are not as sturdy as they used to be. I may as well used the generic ones to save money. Q Tip must be trying to cut costs but will lose customers!
