There are some things that I will only buy the brand name of…Q tips are always one of those products. They are incredible. They have so many great uses. I use them to clean many things and get into small spaces. There is no scent. Packaging is great easy to use. Ingredients I’m not sure about what’s in them. They are excellent for cleaning and doing makeup.

The "new look" is not the "same great quality." They bend very easily and seem to have less cotton. Probably all done to cut costs so customers are given an inferior product. This is my second box of the "new look." I thought maybe the first box was a mistake. But nope, second box just as bad.

Q-tips Cotton Swabs have long been a staple in my household, and for good reason. With 100% pure cotton tips on both ends and gently flexible paper sticks, they offer a soft yet sturdy tool for a multitude of tasks. Whether I'm applying or removing makeup, tending to minor first aid needs, or cleaning delicate items like electronics or jewelry, these swabs consistently deliver precision and comfort. The quality is evident in every use, and I appreciate that the paper sticks are sourced from sustainable forests, aligning with environmentally conscious practices. The versatility of Q-tips extends beyond personal care. I've found them invaluable for arts and crafts projects, such as applying glue to intricate models or adding fine details to paintings. They're also handy for cleaning hard-to-reach areas around the house, like the crevices of keyboards or the nooks of small appliances. The consistent quality and reliability of Q-tips® make them an indispensable tool in my daily routines. Q-tips Cotton Swabs exemplify the "Q" in their name—quality. Their thoughtful design and dependable performance have earned them a permanent place in my home.
Great!

It seems like quality got better. The cotton ends usually smaller and harder and also the handle breaks easily but the one i got today the cotton ends are softer bigger and it got more flexible.
The sticks bend while you're trying to clean your ears

RS - 2 months ago, Verified purchaser
Why have the sticks on these things bend so easily? It's literally impossible to clean your ears without bending the sticks into a circle? Never had this issue before. The box says 'new look same quality', but I have to highly disagree. Kinda annoying after I ordered 2 boxes of 500 counts.

The quality was poor that has no difference comparing to a no name brand. The cotton was loose and come off all the time.
Dramatic Quality Decline

We recently bought a box of Q-Tips and were horrified at the poor quality of them. Not sure if they value enginered them or not but the quality and amount of the cotton was inconsistent and usually not sufficient and the cardboard shaft was flimsy and bent very easily. We have been long time Q-Tip users and were happy to pay more for them as they WERE a quality product but now they seem to be no better than any of the other products on the market.

Used to be that I insisted on qtips brand, because others had some swabs in each pack that barely had cotton coverage. Now qtips aren't much better...please go back to consistent cotton coverage.

I have found with the last box of qtips, which I’ve been using for over 50 years, Don’t have the same amount of cotton on the tips. However, the price has not gotten cheaper. Very disappointed!

These are the only qtips we like because they don't bend and fall apart!! The cotton is nice and thick on it and not falling off. Durable and absorbent as well.

No difference between this and dollar store ones. They use to be fluffy and soft , now they hurt your ears. Please go back to the older version.

Well packed and tightly wrapped sticks. The cotton isn’t loose and doesn’t have those tiny balls that fall off and make it all fuzzy. Helps clean up small crevices and keeps the outer ear clean as well.
