qtips missing cotton on ends
4 out of 5 stars

I am 61 years of age. I have always used Q-TIPS. However, in my most recent box...I have noticed an inordinate amount of cotton missing on one end of the stick. I'm about half way through the box, and I've run into at least 5 of these. I've heard that during the pandemic and inflation, companies are reducing the amount of their products in the box in order to save money. Is that what you are now doing? Or, was this just one bad batch that I've gotten in 60 years of life?
Not happy with the cheaper product now!

I have used the q-tip brand for years. It was the only brand I bought because I loved the product! The cotton tip was soft and attached very well. The stick part was strong and never bent easily. But your product now has gone down hill in a very noticeable way!! The cotton end is thin and pulls apart easily and the stick part is now a very cheap almost hollow feeling roll of thin cardboard! Why?!?! Why would you take a product many of us buy and use everyday and try and cut corners on the quality of it??? Not good!

I've bought Q-tips my entire adult life because they've always been better than any other swab. The last 2 boxes of 500 I've bought were just terrible. The stick is super flimsy and I've been finding brown things in the cotton. I get it, cotton comes from a plant and we may see remnants of those plants from time to time, but this has been way more than that. I'm just not impressed with the product anymore.

Q Tips have gotten so cheap. These are being manufactured with cheaper and weaker material now. The sticks bend with even the slightest pressure and they are no longer any better than the generic versions that are out there. This never used to happen, the name-brand Q Tips used to have the best quality, but now are disappointing.

What have you do to the Q-Tips they are awful now they are shorter and bend up so fast. I will not buy these again.I have use these all my life. I wouldn’t buy a no name brand, but considering it now. It’s to bad you couldn’t just leave a great product alone, you had to cheapen them up .Bad idea. Go back to what was good. So Disappointed in this product

These are the best qtips. They are high quality and well made. I use them to clean my ears and I use them when I apply my make up. They are sturdy and don’t bend on me

I use these all the time. I have never had an issue. I like how they are pretty cheap, and how they come in a variety of pack sizes. You can use these to clean stuff around the house too. Personally I use these to clean my keyboard

I have used Q-tips for years. This last box has been consistently unsatisfactory. The cotton is not tightly wound and I have to hold the end piece with my fingers when I use them to touch up my eye makeup so that the cotton doesn't get in my eyes. I hope this box is just a fluke and that future boxes won't be this way.
They used to be really good.

I purchased a couple of packages lately and noticed that the paper stick is a lot thinner than the older q-tips. Not sure I like them to work with, bend too easy.

We bought a new package of three 625 piece boxes. The cotton swab is much thinner and the stick bends easily. Seems like the quality has fallen significantly - so sad.
Not Enough Cotton

I recently bought a 3 pack of Q-tips cotton swabs at a wholesale club and was very disappointed with the quality. It definitely went downhill! There is not enough cotton on the tips so it feels like you are cleaning your ears with sticks. My family has always used Q-tips and never had an issue.

I have quite a bit of peircings and sometimes its hard to keep them hygenic while healing is occuring. Q-tips have helpped me so much in the past and continue to help me clean all my jewelry and my ears.
