Q: Where are these Q-Tips made - what country?

submitted by Tonnie - 1 year ago

  • 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.

    submitted byIebgener - 9 months ago

  • A: Hello! These are made in the United States.

    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.

    Mid cotton swaps

    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.

    Paper stick 10/10

    I ONLY use the Paper stick Q tips - because they feel natural and not pokey like other types... These are just as you order - Paper stick

    Cheaply made - no different than generic

    sticks are not what they used to be. Manufacturers know what I'm talking about. the cardboard bends too easy and comes apart when just a little wet. Not a premium product at a premium price.

    My go-to

    I made a silly mistake of purchasing store brand one time because they were cheaper and will never make that mistake again. The Qtip brand is the best I have found. The cotten is fairy tight though I can add water on them and manipulate it to make them pointed when needed. I do not find they unravel the way other brands do.
