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.

Poor quality
Bend or break. Not suitable for personal care or crafts since they reduced their product standards.

WHAT Happened???
I’ve used QTips for over 73 years, and I would’ve never considered any other brand because QTip was a quality product without compromise. Even during the pandemic, the quality remained unchanged. Unfortunately it seems corporate greed has finally seeped into the familiar blue box! As I recently began using a new box, I was truly shocked to realize that the cotton sticks were so flimsy that they no longer maintained their rigidity even under the slightest pressure!!! Obviously you have a novice brand manager that doesn’t have any idea what product specifications have made QTips a venerable favorite in households like ours for generations! I am EXTREMELY disappointed in the decline of this product and will begin looking for alternative brands. I am laughably “brand loyal”, but your attempt to save money by compromising the product has sent this loyal consumer looking for alternative brands.

Do better
I use only Q-tips because they were the best they did not bend when you used them like the other brands, but I'm so disappointed in the quality of Q-tips now. I use them every day and every day I get more disappointed because the stick bends when you use them and I don't use a lot of pressure I'm cleaning my ears I don't want them to bend.

Reliable, affordable and handy
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Q-tips are one of those simple things I always keep stocked around the house. They are incredibly versatile from cleaning small spaces and touching up craft projects tool applying ointment and make up. I love them for makeup application and touchups, especially when I need to clean up eyeliner or apply products with a little more precision the cotton stay securely on the stick. They are soft and they don’t fall apart easily like some cheaper brands, I would definitely recommend.

No longer a trusted brand
No longer a trusted brand. Quality has declined. Flimsy sticks and thin cotton ends with tips that end up scratching my ear! This belongs at a bargain store. Such a disappointment. Too bad i had bought the 750 count too. Will be returning and looking for a new, better brand.

Disappointing Quality
Since when did they stop putting cotton on the ends? It’s like poking your ear with a stick. I won’t buy Q Tips again until they add more cotton. It’s ridiculous that companies cheap out and expect to retain customers.

Garbage Tips
Do not buy these. They bend very easily and have less cotton than before. They’re so bad I’ll probably trash my entire new box and try another brand.

Qtips have cut quality down to the bare minimum
I’ve used q-tips my entire life of 60 + years. But I’m done. Y’all have cut the quality so much that it’s like putting a stick with no padding at all in my ear. I’ll find a better product.

Multi-use
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Q-Tips have multiple uses. I find a way to use them daily. Most people use them to clean ears, but I also use them to touch up makeup, clean the house, and make art!

Quality is declining
These are declining in quality. They used to be stronger and fuller of cotton. I'm disappointed in the last box I bought. They bend with the slightest amount of pressure.

Cotton swab on one side only
Three purchases in a row now with this product and the same lack of quality in each. A majority of the cotton swabs only have cotton on one end, just the stick on the other. One would think that the quality control department or a in-process robotic visual inspection would catch these rejects before they made it into the packaging. Disappointed with my latest purchase once again.

Superior
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Qtips are always superior to the generic brands. They've been a mainstay in my household since I was a child. They have plenty of cotton and are not weak. That's the only brand we use.
