The quality has really gone down over the past few years, less and less cotton per tip. There is barely enough cotton on to absorb anything now. I'd be happy to pay more for a better product. These are awful.

The last 3-4 boxes I bought had cotton wound wrong on one end and it just sort of hangs off of it. So, instead of the usual 1 swab I end up using 2-3, because that end is not useable. Definitely not buying this brand anymore. Very disappointed, as they used to make a quality product before.

Q Tip used to be great , however if I wanted cardboard sticks I'd find some, your product has gone way down hill , for the price we are paying you should try and at least put a little cotton on your cardboard sticks.

I noticed with the last pack of q tips that there is less and less cotton. I had some older ones and compared. Yep even q tips are getting smaller for more

I use Q-tips everyday and am always very happy with the quality. However, this last pkg. I bought has one side just fine and the other side doesn't have enough cotton on the tip and the stick protrudes through the cotton and hurts my ear. It is very consistent on only one side of every Q-tip. Hoping this is a fluke pkg. and the next one in this pack of 3 will be better. Otherwise, this will end up a large supply of art materials.

I have been a faithful Q-tip buyer for many years because they always had plenty of cotton covering the ends but not anymore. One end is not too bad but there is always one end that is basically a stick. I thought I got a bad box so I bought another one to try and it is exactly the same. I'm going to have to try other brands, I can't waste my money when I can only use one end of the swab, it's very frustrating.

Decrease of quality

The quality of the last two packages of q-tips that I bought have significantly decreased from ones in the past. There is very little cotton on the swab and hurts my ears when I clean them. The stick comes through the cotton. I have been loyal to the q-tip brand because of the generous amount of cotton, but now it’s not worth the price.
No cotton the tips

I have to say I know company's have cut back on count in order to save money to not raise prices. But this is ridiculous barley any cotton on the tips. It's like just poking a stick in your ear. I expect this from a know off q tip but not johnson and johnson. Very displeased!!!!

Brand name makes a difference

I usually will go to a generic brand name for most things, but this is one of those items where I feel the brand name makes a huge difference. The stick on these doesn’t break or bend like the off brand. They stand up firm for usage which is something I really care about. Not only that, but the heads don’t fray and unravel the way the off brand does. They stay together which is great for makeup touch ups

These are worth the price they don’t bend like some other cotton swab brands that aren’t good quality. Great for fixing eyeliner

I bought this recently and noticed poor quality. Q-tips used to be sturdy now they're cheap and bend right away. I've always liked qtips and would pay more than the store brand but now I'm disappointed.
