Just bought a 3 pack and the new Q-tips are clearly cutting back on the cotton. Scratch my ear trying to clean it. Gave all these Q-tips away and have now gone to a different manufacture after 35 years.
The go-to brand!

Don’t try to go cheap with other cotton swabs. These are thicker, more sturdy and durable than any lesser brand. Very effective at cleaning ears, cleaning tiny spaces, and applying makeup. Don’t pinch pennies. You will regret it.

Customers consistently highlight Q-tips as an essential beauty tool, far beyond their outdated reputation as “ear swabs.” In fact, many reviewers mention that they never use them in their ears at all. Instead, Q-tips have earned their spot as a must-have in makeup bags and on vanities for their precision, softness, and reliability. One of the most common praises is how tightly the cotton is wound. Unlike cheaper brands that shed or leave fibers behind, Q-tips hold their shape, making them perfect for delicate work. Makeup users rely on them to fix eyeliner mistakes, clean up mascara smudges, or sharpen lipstick edges with impressive accuracy. Paired with a drop of makeup remover, they act like mini erasers, correcting small flaws without ruining an entire look. Beyond corrections, customers note their usefulness for blending eyeshadow in tiny areas or applying subtle highlights to the inner corners of the eyes. The swabs are sturdy yet soft, giving just the right amount of control.

I know there are other brands of cotton swabs out there, but when you want a Q-tip, you want a Q-tip! The stem is more solid and the cotton tip is attached to the stem more securely than any other brand, ensuring that no bits of cotton are flaking off as you use them.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] You can’t go wrong with q-tips cotton swabs. Sturdy. Others are flimsy. Easy to hold. Good product for the money. Would recommend and buy again.

Middle Shaft between the cotton swabs is weak.

Don't know why the middle shaft between the cotton swabs was re-designed, but it was a mistake. Very flimsy and poorly made. You should stick with the original de-sign. Looking into other similar manufacturers.

I am 65 and have only used Q-tip brand even as a kid when my parents bought them. They have become so cheap, not much cotton on the tip and the stick buns to the point it could break I might as well save my money and buy a cheaper brand because the quality is no longer there.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The q-tips you know and love, in a huge size! They obviously work great for beauty applications, around the house cleaning of small spaces, etc., and with the large size I will never run out!
Q-tips help hack makeup application

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As someone who’s tested countless beauty tools, I have to say Q-tips are one of the most surprisingly versatile essentials in a makeup kit. They’re incredibly precise, which is perfect for fixing a wonky eyeliner wing or wiping away stray mascara without ruining your look. I’ve used them dipped in micellar water to sharpen up lipstick edges, and they work wonders for smoothing foundation creases in tricky spots like around the nose. They even double as tiny brushes, great for blending eyeshadow, applying shimmer with control, or highlighting small areas like the inner eye or cupid’s bow. Plus, since they’re disposable, they’re hygienic and travel-friendly, making touch-ups super easy. For such a simple product, Q-tips truly punch above their weight in any routine. Thank you influencenster for providing me with the product - Q-tips (the brand name version) are noticeably higher quality.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve tried off brand but our family always comes back to q-tip brand. They are perfect for makeup and my husband uses them for his ears. They don’t leave lint behind and the packaging seems to be the most eco friendly with the least amount of plastic used.
