Regular Cotton Swabs Paper Sticks - 500ct - up&up™

Works exactly as advertised! The cotton stays intact and doesn’t fall apart, which is a big plus. We use these for everything in our household — from cleaning our kids’ ears to touching up makeup. Super handy and dependable!

Cotton is loosely wrapped, difficult to use.

The cotton is not thick enough and starts coming off when trying to use it for various things. Cotton not thich enough is hurts t use on sensitive ears and eye area. Disappointed in product.

They're good and great priced

Quality has disintegrated. Flimsy stick that bends and the cotton comes off easily. I do not recommend

Not very sturdy. Cotton tip starts to come off easily.

Solid product. Not flimsy like others

Same quality and the name brand for less money!

The cotton comes off easy, not safe for the ears,

Quality has gone downhill. Used to be as good as name brand, now they bend really easy and the cotton is either too poufy and falls apart or non existent.

Something changed. These aren't like they've been for years. The sticks are bendy now. Any amount of pressure and they collapse.

Come apart and bend easily

These have the capability of the original q tip brand. Usually off brand I find them to be mediocre quality but not these.

I really liked these at first, cheap and good quality. But then we started to find ones that only had 1 cotton end. I let the first few slide but as we started using more of the box, the more we found. Yes I saved money, but I also didn’t get the full 500.

I could't use these for eye makeup because the tips are very poorly wound. Little fibres sticking out and these caught on my eyelashes and contact lenses.

Love them and they don't fall apart.

Sturdy Q tips, will be buying them again

These work great! Cotton doesn't fall off!

The cotton is not firm enough so the q-tip bends when you use it. Very annoying and hard to use.

Purchased Feb 2025. The cotton is either thinner or not as attached as previous purchases. It starts to come apart when using it, and the stick causes discomfort in the ear. Crossing fingers it was just a bad batch (purchased 2 because they were on sale and both were the same). It’s always. When less thick than leading brand, but would stay together more. Would not recommend these right now. A 2 for value because they are very inexpensive, but not worth it unless using it for other purposes - like maybe art projects. Just not for ear because cotton is so thin and not on there well enough that the stick digs in and causes pain. Photo: top 3 are new batch, after rubbing it on my hand. Bottom swab is from previous batch, same treatment.
