VERY low quality now
I've noticed in the past 5 years that the quality has drastically declined. The dollar store brands are even holding up better than these. The slightest amount of pressure and they bend. Don't even think about getting them wet. Sometimes the cotton comes off. So be careful cleaning your ears. The stick isn't a firm cardboard material like it used to be. Its similar to cheap composition notebook paper now. If anyone can suggest a better brand please add it in your review.

Needed for my vanity!
Great quality cotton swabs! They are soft, sturdy, and perfect for everyday use. The cotton tips stay securely in place, and the sticks don’t bend easily with normal use. I love how versatile they are for personal care, makeup touch-ups, and cleaning small areas. A simple everyday essential at a great value. Definitely would repurchase! Great price too!!

No longer what they used to be
What happened...they used to be masterful! Now the cotton disintegrates within a few seconds of use. Very unhappy.

Cutting corners
You have skimmed over the years of making the stick thinner to where it bends while you try to use it. Very disappointing the corners were cut. From a brand I was faithful to.

What quality?
Has anyone noticed the change in quality of the Q-tips cotton swabs? They're not as sturdy as they once were, and I'm very dissappointed. So now, the only difference between the origional and any store brand cotton swab is the price. Such a shame.

Quality has gone downhill
Terrible quality-- can no longer justify the q-tip brand over other products. There have been some products where I am brand loyal and q-tip was at the top of the list. Over the last year the quality of qtips has been terrible- flimsy, comes apart easily, wound loosely instead of a reliably wound bud that would not unravel. I don't even know where to begin, but I can say that the quality is on par with knock-off brands. I can't even tell the difference between qtip and store brand at this point. Disappointing. If I took time out of my day to write a review about this, it must be a pretty big change in quality.

Save money, lose customers?
I have used Q-tips all my life. But recently the quality of the product has slipped. The amount of cotton at each end of the swab has been reduced so much the swab is no longer absorbent, and the stick is too flexible. Why the heck did you change a good product??? Guess I need to find another brand😫!

What happened to Q tips?
I am utterly shocked at how bad my Q tips are. I never buy store brand and have always touted q tips for their quality but this last box of flimsy stick and sparse cotton is making me now switch. Still can’t believe it.

Quality Downgrade
I can't believe you guys dropped your quality expectations so low! Q-Tip has always been my family's go-to cotton swab. This last box I bought feels just like a cheap knock-off. While trying to clean my ears, the stick bends and does a horrible job. PLEASE bring your product back to the top-quality it had been for decades! I knew you cut back the cotton portion some time ago and that was one thing, but to make the stick so flimsy is such an immense disappointment.

What happened to Qtips?
I wish I would have read recent reviews before my last purchase...but, why would I? I have used Qtips for decades. They are now so flimsy, they are useless. These are are horrible. I do not recommend.

Quality change
I am extremely annoyed that a trusted company has given up on quality to save some money. I have been a long time customer and have noticed the change. The cotton swab is not as full and the sticks are very weak. I have tried store brand cotton swabs in the past to save money, but the quality of them was terrible. Unfortunately, now the Qtip brand is no better than your competitors. Personally, I would have preferred to pay more for the original quality than have the product altered to a flimsy product. At this rate, I might as well purchase the competitor brand to save money.

Drop in QUALITY
I have always used Qtip swabs I am 73 and loved them. BUT.... the quality of the swab stick now is FLIMSY! I cannot use it in the many ways I used to. Even after showering and wiping out ears the swab folds in half. EXTREMELY disappointed in the DROP IN QUALITY. Go back and fix the swabs to their original strength.

Horrible
Horrible. You know it's bad when you are online a review about cotton swabs! I am not sure what has happened to the quality of Qtips swabs but this ain't it. Barely any cotton the sticks. These swabs look mal-nutritioned. At this point, you are just gearing yourself for a lawsuit when someone injures themselves with a poorly manufactured swab. Using these sticks is tantamount to shoving something sharp around your ear canal.

Terrible quality.
Quality has exponentially dipped over the years. Bends like rubber. Used to be a loyal customer.

Not what they used to be. How disappointing.
I have been buying and using this brand of cotton swab For most of my life, I am 56. The last couple of times that I’ve purchased I’ve noticed the stick isn’t as thick or stable as it used to be. I confirmed this when I found a travel case of them that I had. Now, I may as well save some money and buy the cheaper brands, as that is what these have become. Very disappointed. Why all of a sudden would you change them now? How much money are you saving by disappointing your consumers??
