Cotton Swabs, 750/Pack

Yes Ns251, they have changed the quality of their Q-tips. В  Ok, Unilever, I know you are not supposed to put them in your ears but you know that the consumer does. В Where's the cotton tip. В It feels like I am sticking a 'stick' in my ear. В Sorry but your claim 'More soft cotton at the tip than any other swab' is no longer true. В I compared this last box I just bought to the few Q-tips I had left over and there is a huge difference on the quality of cotton on the tip. В Instead of the quality of your product being less just charge the consumer a little more and don't skimp on the cotton. В I will be buying an off brand from now on because their claim of more cotton on the tip is true compared to Q-tip!

I have been purchasing this brand for so many years now. I cannot believe how the quality has diminished! I think I can make a better product at home! That way I know I won't be using a stick with a few strands of cotton on it.

Ive been using Qtips for over 40 years now and in the last year ive notice that the cotton
on the tip is not very Thick to say the least the no name brand has more so to say so but facts are facts .

As others have said I only buy Q-Tips for the dependable quality. At least I did in the past, lately (especially the Antimicrobial) seem to have less cotton at the tip and what is there does not stay put. Besides using them to clean the outside of ears and nose etc. I wear and clean a CPAP daily, I wash the mask and dry the small recesses with a Q-Tip, lately the cotton unravels and leaves strands in the mask not so good when you are trying to go to sleep and strands of cotton go up your nose. Give us back out Quality product please. P.S. I only buy the paper stick type not the plastic ones.

Definitely not the same product I have bought for years. The quality is the same as the cheap brands.

Like others, I notice a decline in quality as with my last purchase the q-tips bend quite easily. Will Unilever return to their previous quality or is it time to shop around for a different brand?

Have always purchased Q-Tips. I learned 30 years ago, that similar cotton swabs are not close to the same quality.
But, I recently purchased a 3 pack of (qty) 625 swabs from a warehouse club. I am through the second box and have experienced the same problem through-out. The tips are breaking easily (about 3/4" down) on one end of about one in three. They are breaking very easily!
I am hoping this is a bad batch. The one box I have left is marked 05182CS43. I am still satisfied with the quality of the "tip".

I too have used Q-tips for a long time - 35 years or more.
I used to use them: as tiny paint “brushes“; for cleaning/dusting in tight places; to clear clogged nozzles on opened tubes of glue, paste, caulk, etc.; and, yes, to swab my ears, including the ear canals (I was aware of the concern/controversy about the ostensible danger of this practice, I had noted the disclaimer on
Q-tips packages, and I swabbed with a very slow and gentle circular motion --- with no reluctance and at my own risk).

* Now, the paint brush function doesn’t work because the sparse and weakly-
applied cotton unravels when pulled from the paint, deforming the cotton tip
and marring the painted area.
* Now, the cleaning/dusting function works only if the “tight places” aren’t too
tight and there isn’t much finger pressure required - inserting the tip into certain
places causes the sparse and weakly-applied cotton to unravel when
removed and renders the tip useless, and applying anything other than very
slight finger pressure causes the flimsy shaft to bend, almost to breaking, and
renders the entire swab useless.
* Now, the nozzle unclogging function doesn’t work because the flimsy shaft
bends, almost to breaking, and renders the entire swab useless.
* Now, the ear swabbing function doesn’t work because the sparse amount of
cotton causes it to seem, as another reviewer wrote, “like I am sticking a 'stick'
in my ear”.
I adapted when the blue plastic shafts were effectively discontinued, and I continued to purchase and use Q-tips. But, the reduction in the amount and/or quality of cotton in the tips and rolled paper in the shafts has substantially reduced the utility of this product and is a proverbial deal-breaker.
My primary concern is about the loss of use for swabbing my ears. I used to be able to dry my ears with a single swab (and if the humidity wasn’t too high I could do it with just one end of a single swab). Now, almost immediately after beginning to rotate a swab about in my ear, the cotton begins unraveling, I can feel the end of the shaft scraping on my skin, and the shaft begins to flex and then to bend, almost to breaking. It now takes 2-4 swabs to dry my ears. This isn’t acceptable.
After decades of being not just a good product, but a great product, Q-tips cotton swabs is now an inferior product. Q-tips/Unilever, you know it’s true ---
why else would you have so many reviewers writing about how much they used to like this product, and how they are now dissatisfied and disappointed with it.
I doubt that there’s one of us who wouldn’t willingly pay a reasonable rise in price to get back the Q-tips Cotton Swabs that we used to get.
Please fix this right away.

Q Tips used to be a high quality product, and I would spend more for them than the off brand. No longer true! The stick bends with simple use and the cotton tip is thin and tears easily. I really think the off brands are now better. I can only imagine the customer loss because of this. I would advise changing back quickly, or your market share will be gone, and soon. Whomever made such a poor decision should be fired.

I got on this web site to find a phone number to call, when I noticed so many other reviews mentioning the same fact. Now I know I am not the only one with this concern. Yes, I too have noticed that the cotton ends are not the same. They are very compact and not as soft as before. I too have gone to purchasing another brand. I didn't mind paying more for better quality, but why pay more for a lesser quality. Sorry, I had been a trusted Q-tip buyer for over 50 years, but not anymore.

I'm not sure if Unilever even pays any attention to these negative reviews that are posted here and across the web. В  I relied on this product for 50 years but not anymore. В This is NOT the excellent product it once was about five years ago. В The cotton swabs are inconsistently made from one to another. В Loose cotton, too much cotton, shreds/pills of cotton, etc. В I keep complaining and sending the product back to Unilever to no avail. В  Unilever always replies stating they have quality control standards. If that were true, why are there so many unhappy customers? В I would gladly pay more to have the cotton swabs they once were five years ago. В 

I have been using Qtips my entire life. What has happened to the quality?!! Please change back to the comfortable amount of cotton on each swab I beg of you!!

I've been buying these for 20 years, but no more. Q-Tips was once head and shoulders above the competition, but they've resorted to cost-cutting measures that have reduce the quality to less than that of their generic competitors. I once stocked up on Q-Tips when I traveled abroad, just in case they weren't available where I was traveling. Well, this is the last box I'll ever use, unless former quality standards are reinstated. If I wanted swabs that snapped off in the middle of use or swabs with 50% less cotton, I'd have been buying generic all along. Now, you've ensured that generic is all I'll buy.

Was only able to use one end of Qtip because the other end was cut to the stick. I've noticed the quality of Qtips has declined in the past few years and with the purchase of this box I'm beginning to question Unilever quality inspections. My family has always used Qtip but I will now look for another brand.

Bring back the old manufacturing process and materials! the sticks sometimes break. cotton isn't attached consistently and comes off. after 35 years this just started recently.

I have always purchased the Q-Tip brand cotton swabs because they were stronger than plastic, but recently they have Changed. Please bring back the old version, they were so much better than what you are selling now.

Q-tips are the best because the generics are rough and hurt your ear. Plus, they fall apart!

Recently purchased a new box and these things bend in half before you can use the second half of it. Really disappointed in a product I've been buying for 30 years. I'll be looking for another brand now, as they can't be any worse than these. Congratulations on becoming a new MBA poster child for what not to do with a successful brand.

I've been a loyal purchaser of Q-tips. I once tried another brand that was cheaper, but the quality was bad & the lesser amount of cotton scratched my ear, I went back to Q-tips. After recently purchasing and using my swabs, the stems kept bending and I wasn't able to use them properly. I first thought it was this batch of swabs, but after reading some of the other complaints, I'm going to reassess what other swabs are available. If I'm paying more for cheap quality, what's the point of brand loyalty?

What used to be the best product in the world--which I and my family have used a lifetime--has now been reduced to a product equal to or worse than generic, at twice the price. Q-tips are now made with weak, flimsy shafts, that bends at the slightest touch--with half the cotton as in the past. After a lifetime of loyalty, Unilver has managed to destroy an iconic brand that stood for quality. For now, onto product "X" until the old Q-Tips are restored.

I just had to make my view be known.....
Throughout my purchases over 40 years, I have always preferred and insisted on buying Q-tips... over all other brands.
I've noticed since the beginning of this year...they "are not made the way they used to be"
The Q-tip bends with the slightest amount of pressure when cleaning ears or just plain use in general...rendering them worthless!
Very disappointed!!

Not enough cotton on tips and they break too easily!

I'm not in favour of the new packaging, as it doesn't close and seal protecting the product.

I have no idea why this product changed to something of such poor quality. I always but Q Tip brand even though they cost more No more Any no name brand is just as good . And all those useless replies you give show how little you care or know what you are trying to sell I am 78 and have used only your brand. BUT NO MORE.

I've tried other cotton swabs but have always gone back to the quality of Q-Tips. In addition to using them for beauty and hygiene, they're a life saver when having to clean in small crevices as well as always being gentle. A perfect product if there ever was one!

I use them for camping. First aid kit, makeup and my ears.

I have so many uses for Q-tips it's insane, from cleaning off extra nail polish to cleaning small areas and oh of course my ears! The little Togo container is perfect for if I'm out and about

I've always have sensitive ears when it comes to cleaning with qtips but these were awesome! They were so soft and were able to get around my ear so easily. I will be buying these more often as I received them to test for free.

These are the best to use because the cotton on the end does not fall off the end and it makes it much easier to clean your ears or help with applying makeup

I just had the pleasure of receiving a free sample to try from Influenster. Prior to this, I was already in love. I use qtips for EVERYTHING. I will continue to purchase these awesome little multitools!

As someone who does a lot of DIY crafty things I find having Q-tips available really handy. When I need to do some precision cleaning I use Q-tips and it helps get whatever I need cleaned, down too all the little nooks and crannies. I personally like the size of the container a lot. I think it's so cute and just right for taking it with me wherever I'm going.

I received a Q-tip travel pack for free from Influenster but the opinions stated are my own.

I use Qtips everyday especially after I take a shower.

I use these every day to do touch ups on my makeup and scoop my moisturizer out of the jar without contaminating it. Can't live without them!

I use cotton swabs every day to give my make up the final updates and the Q-tips one is the best so fat. It is soft and in the same time flexible.

Every time I get out of the shower I have to use Q-Tips because I hate having water in my ears(I know it is advised against but I do it very carefully)! Although it is such a basic necessity in my bathroom, these are amazing! They are soft so they don't hurt my ears but stiff enough to get the job done without hurting me! I did receive these for free but all of these opinions are my own! Have purchased these in the past with my own money and my opninon was the same

I couldn't make it through my day without q tips! These are perfect for cleaning my ears, doing my make up, painting my nails, you name it!

I use Q-tips for everything. Cleaning, doing my make up, hygiene uses, use them for my baby, literally everything. I keep Q-tips on me 24/7 because I never know when I could use them! They always seem to come in handy. My mother used Q-tips when I was little, I use them for my baby, and I'm sure my son will use them when he grows up! Q-tips are original and I couldn't imagine life without having them.

I usually buy cheap Q-tips because i have an obsession with cleaning my ears. But i recommend this its worth the money. I dont need to clean my ears as often and they are comfortable to use!

I use qtips for so many things. Its great for fixing your makeup, cleaning up a cut, cleaning in small areas like keyboards, removing nail polish precisely. I find new ways to use qtips every day. They are a staple in my home and i have at least 2 boxes at all times. I recieved mine free to review. All opinions and reviews are my own.

I love how clean I feel after using Qtips! It's gentle and safe but sturdy enough to get the job done. I also love how you can use it for various things!

Q-tips are great, safe and useful for ears, nails and etc. Great quality product and would definitely continue using.

I received this product for promotional purpose from influenster for free. As stated before, the quality in Qtips has decreased. Before, it was worth spending the extra couple dollars to get these ones, but now I'm better off just buying the off brand from the dollar store. They work well enough and get the job done, but the sticks break easily and there is less cotton than before.В 

I dont really get what the disappointment with the Qtips brand is about. The qtips i tried do its job just as it should. I use them and throw them away. They are better than other brands because of the durability and quality of the plastic stick but thats about it. They work great for me. I tested Qtips for free, but all opinions are my own.

I already used Q-tips every day after I showered, but then I got to the opportunity to test them for free so why would I say no? (All the following opinions are my own). Q-tips are great. My boyfriend and I use them as part of our everyday hygiene routine.

I use these to help blend my makeup out and i love them!

Note:I received this product for free. The review is of my own opinion

I received a sample for testing but the following review is my own opinion. Qtip has been my go-to cotton swab for years. It has many uses and works well for me.

I received the Q-tips cotton swabs from Influenster as a trial product. I've used my trial set for cleaning up my nails after pairing and get make that was underneath my eyes. The cotton swabs did the job and kept on going. One cotton swab goes a long way!

I will not buy these any more the cotton on the end is gottenear to thin

I found a box of Q-tips in an old travel case that I haven't used in years.  I starting using them and really found a difference in the old and the new.  The older q-tips had lots more cotton on them and were much softer and absorbent to use.  Loved them!  The new Q-tips are much harder to the touch and are barely absorbent at all.  I still use your product but the quality has definitely gone way downhill!

I am usually a satisfied customer of Q-tips brand, however, the last box of Qtips I bought were entirely damaged!  The outer box was not, which leads me to believe it was a problem with the manufacturing.  I am giving the one star because I also cannot find a simple way to contact Q-tips to inform them of the damaged box.  \
\
The thin wand of the Q-tip is broken on ALL OF THE Q-tips in the package!  When I tried to use them, the fuzzy ends just broke off.

Bought this box and one side is soft and the other side is very hard very disappointed been buying my entire adult life and i grew up on them unacceptable might lose a customer

We have bought Q-tips almost exclusively for decades.  With this last purchase we have found the stick part to be extremely bendable, making it much less effective.  I'm hoping enough people complain, that they go back to their "old" formula of a stick that stands up to some pressure.  I am usually brand loyal once I find a good product, but I am considering trying another brand.

I always buy the qtips brand because I usually get and expect quality. In the last box I bought, there were a lot of qtips that didn't have enough swab on one side to be able to use them without hurting my ear. And it says in the box that they have double swab. Not really...

Have used for over forty years.  Your brand rocks.

I have been using Q-Tips all my life but I notice that they are not as good as before. They are not as study as before and not plush enough.

The sticks are smaller in diameter and the swabs have less cotton.  This product has become more like generic swabs than the quality product I desire.

just about every project i do i always have a bunch of Q-Tips there to get into places where other products don't go

Strong.\
Don't break\
Good absorption\
Cleaning grooves in household products and drains.\
Careful just exterior-border of ears.

The only thing we do not like about Q-tips is that they no longer have wooden sticks.

All that I can say is that I love this little helpers. Always ready to do a great job!

I have tried the other brands they just don't stand up to you

These tips are the worst q tips I have EVER used!!!  They bend with only the least amount of pressure.  They also are suspiciously the exact same packaging as the Johnson and Johnson q tips which are the best I've ever used.  You fooled me once with these but never again!

These qtips are horrible. They bend with the slightest touch. They need to be made much stronger. I can't even clean my ears properly because they are so cheap and "safe" for you...

I have always chose these over the cheap nock off brands and I've noticed lately they will break in half, the cotton falls off super easy, they just feel like the cheap nock off brands that I hate.. Very disappointing.

I sometimes buy generic brands, but this time bought Real Qtips and am very happy I spent more and got the real thing!

Other than cleaning ears, which you must be extremely careful, I use it for cleaning small places such as around drains and corners in furniture details, applying bleach on clothing for small spots, cleaning watches, pet's ears and teeth

Best quality cotton swabs that dont hurt your ear. Use them for the pets eats also.

I buy every 3 weeks and I love them always well packed and clean

Hey, i want to thank you for producing great cotton and real cotton as well. I love how they pick the gunk out of my ears and toes... Sometimes i even eat them thank you!!!!!!!

I have always purchased Q-tips cotton swabs.  Recently I purchased the 500 count package.  Several of the swabs don't have cotton on one end.  I have to inspect them before cleaning delicate areas.  This is very disappointing as I should try the generic brand to compare their quality.

Been using Q-tips for MANY years.  Use them to take off any smudges or missed eyelid after putting on mascara and also use daily for very careful cleaning of my ears.  Have also used them for numerous other projects when I need a small device for a project.

We buy generic on almost everything, but Q-tips are one thing we have just got to buy name brand!  Other swabs are so wimpy in comparison - like the cotton isn't thick enough and you can feel the hard edge of the swab - no bueno!

i have been married for 53 years & this is the only brand of Qtips I buy. Lately, I have some concerns. some of them only have cotton on ! end, sometimes 1 end has very little cotton on it. I am not so sure I will continue to purchase Qtips as a staple in my home.

Less cotton on the ends. could have bought cheeper ones,and got the same quality.

I love your brand. I have tried the off brand and it seems the cotton always falls off or pulls. Thank you for making an amazing product

I have ALWAYS used ONLY Q-Tip brand of Cotton swabs, but the last pack I bought - SUCKED.  They are as flimsy as the cheap ones now and it SUCKS.  WHY did you change the paper sticks?  I might as well go for the cheapy ones now since that is what your product seems to be.  So dissapointed...:-(  In the PAST I would ONLY recommend this product - but now?  No Way - just go for the cheap ones since the Q-tip brand are just as flimsy now.  Might as well save some $$ since the quality has unfortunately (after all these years) diminished.  So sad.

I always buy Q-tips because I think they are the best on the market.  However my last purchase had multiple defective swabs in the pack - namely little or no cotton at one end if the swab.  Number on package - 83291246

I will never use another brand again!  Qtips are better made.  Tried using other brands and they either scratched my ear or the cotton came off.  Never agin.  Qtips only for me!!!

The last few boxes of Q-tips cotton swabs have had so little cotton on them, they hurt my ears to use.  Please add more cotton like they used to be!  If the next box I buy is as bad as the last few, I will just start buying generic.  They will be just as good.  Very disappointed!

Qtips are way softer than other products. Been using them all my lift!

I have used and purchased Q-tips for DECADES and have noticed the quality decrease in the past year or so. This last 750 ct. I purchased was very little cotton and more cardboard. I am deeply disappointed in the quality as I have always paid more for the better product, but this is no longer the case. Please go back to how you used to make Qtips as that was what set you apart from the other brands.

Just opened this box of qtips and one came out dirty.  Been buying these for years and never this problem.  Would send a complaint to corporate, but can't find a link.

I used to be a loyal consumer however somewhere along the way, Q-tip changed their product and now it bends before you can even get it where you need it!  The paper stick is AWFUL. Any chance you'll be changing the material used for the stick portion of the cotton swab?

Im very disappointed the sticks have been flimsier in the last 2 boxes of qtips I have purchased.  I do not like that they are not as strong as they used to be.  They bend too easily now.  Wish they would go back to making the quality they once were.

I have bought qtips for years in different colors and they would bend slightly. They did not have the hard wood in them. I can no longer find them

I grow up using them and they the same years later  Great quality

Very soft I’m comfortable and feel safe using them

I have been using them for years now. And they are made sturdy and the cotton is soft and durable.

Not good quality like they use to be. They bend easily.

Love them they are good for everything, they really come in handy on small hard to reach places

Bought 2 months ago and have loved them ever since

This product is wonderful! My husband and daughter have a lot of ear issues, and this product is always so soft and gentle on their ears.

Has anyone noticed to quality is not what it used to be...I run it around my ear and the stick is poking out....not much cotton on tips anymore...May as well buy dollar store q tips about the same quality...

I am appalled!!  The quality of your Qtips is what made you better than the other choices.I didn't mind to pay the extra money to get the quality of your product, which was bigger cotton than generic! I bought a new box & I was shocked! The cotton had diminished down to smaller than the generic size. If this stays the same I'll be forced to buy generic & save money in the process. You can see in the pic, old on left, new on right. It might not seem like a major difference but to me, it is. Please go back to your original quality! :-( \
Sincerely, a lifetime customer for over 40+years.

Past month or so ago I was die hard q-tip er. Never bought anything other type opened up a package to use as I do and wow much thinner than past qtips. Thanks your saving me money now cause if I'm getting cheaper product might as well buy Cheaper products because there is no longer a difference between your brand. So more money in my pocket cause less cost.

I love this product my family uses it often the price is always good

I have used Q-tips brand cotton swabs my whole life.  Our family always knew that if you wanted cotton swabs that didn't bend or lose the cotton tips, Q-tips were the the best. We have been living overseas, and we always made sure to take a two year supply with us.  We have recently returned, and I bought a new three pack of Q-tips.  How disappointing to have the cotton tips unravel and the sticks bend like every other brand.  I am grieved that a quality item I have always valued seems to have made some unsatisfactory changes.

They have such a great quantity. Easy to use and store. Price is affordable and do what they claim.

I place the q-tip against the skin at the entrance to the ear canal and twirl it between my index finger and thumb.  Most times it causes the cotton to loosen and elongate into the ear canal, cleaning out the wax buildup.

Not as strong as they used to be;-( Apparent;y Q-tips have changed the weight of the stem because they crumple the same as generic now. Long ago I tried generic swabs and quickly went back to Q-tip due to the flimsy stem. it would crumple when pressure applied while using it to clean ears. NOW-Q-tips are just the same....VERY FLIMSY. VERY SAD they compromised quality to save money...switching back to generic I guess if its the same result.

Always stayed away from the “generic” brand q-tips because the stick is never as durable as the original Qtip name brand! Faithful to you for that reason only no matter how $$ you can be!! I will pay the extra money to get the reliable product!! I JUST BOUGHT A BOX yesterday  and the stick is flimsy AHHHHHHHH please don’t cheap out on the cotton AND the stick i can’t deal with that and it’s truly the only reason i don’t use anyone else!  Please make your qtip great again!! \
I sure Hope i just got a faulty box! I truly use you EVERYDAY!!!! And i need The original please tell me i just Got a faulty box or

Best Qtips out on the market!! They don’t bend easily and they don’t hurt when you use them. They are very efficient and I won’t use any other brand. They are inexpensive. I buy them all the time. They are gentle too!

Great and comfortable. Easy to use. Soft Cotten. Easy to throw into my purse. Inexpensive.

these are the only type of Q-tips that we buy we love this brand they don't fall apart in the actually stay together when you're cleaning your ears

I love Q-tips but the quality has changed.  They bend like never before.  So sad as I relied on buying the brand name so I knew I'd be getting something of value.

Just a couple of things:\
1.  We use them all the time for a ton of different things.\
2.  I ONCE bought a store brand when I was a lot younger.  Poked me with the stick the cotton was so thin.\
3. Whoever among you designed that box and maintains quality control did and does an amazing job.  I hold my breath every time I press the circle and open along the perforations. But every time it opens perfectly !!  Your QC guys and gals need to get hold of every other manufacturer and show them how to make a package that doesn't rip in all the wrong places when opening.  Nobody does it like Q-Tips.

Between the last box of 400’s and the box I recently purchased the cotton ends have become small and very hard. The wand is shorter now too, which I find OK. But the hard small cotton ends on them are not acceptable. Tough to tell from the pic I included. After decades of purchasing Q-tips will be looking for an alternative. Very disappointed.

This is something that my husband can't live without.  After each shower I affectionately call him my "shrek" because he resembles him with the Q-tips he uses to dry his ears. Absolutely ZERO ear infections in this house---thanks Q-tips!

Like so many other reviews here, my husband and I are extremely disappointed in our most recent box of Q-tips. Most notable is the flimsy stick, which always stayed rigid in the past. This is the ONLY reason I always bought the original Q-tip and not the newer Q-tips with the plastic stick (which were too flimsy). If I'm not getting the original Q-tip any longer, why should I pay the higher price for your product? And like the other customers here who have bothered to take the time to express their concerns to corporate, could you provide something beyond a canned response? For every customer who took the time to type a review, imagine how many other customers will just stop purchasing Q-tips without voicing their concerns-- perhaps your bottom line might indicate this trend. Personally, I won't be buying Q-tips in the future due to this huge drop in quality.

I use these for everything ! Makeup, ear cleaning, detailed cleaning. Versatile and always get the job done

Best earbuds ever really helps to get all the ear wax out it’s cheap and so many of q tips come inside it’s a very good product

Repeat buyer; would/will buy again! Great for cleaning, fixing makeup and so much more.  Even when the cotton tip gets wet, these bad boys keep on working.  Gentle enough for your face but hardy enough to clean out a keyboard.  Would definitely recommend

Q-tips are the go to brand for cotton swab. The a cheap and so very well made. They clean ears nicely; They are great to clean eye make up from the inner eye corners and place cotton pads to reach. They are very sturdy. It is also great to apply lotions or cream or medicine to wounds or to clean up wounds as well.

I use these to clean my cartilage ear piercings. Very nice and soft. Does not get caught when I am cleaning it. It’s cheap for how much you get . I put them in a little jar instead of their packaging because it takes up too much space in my little drawer.

None of you products work as well as the wooden swabs you used to produce.  Please bring them back.

I love Q tip cotton swabs! They are my favorite. I’m a repeat user. They are very gentle.

i love these for touching up my make up if i need too, i use them to put tea tree oil on mu acne and clean my ears as well, i would totally  recommend to anyone because they are good to have around and can be composted

i’ve been using these for as long as i can remember. i’ve tried using other brands but they don’t compare. these cotton swabs are the best

I have used other kinds of cotton swabs but have never found any brand I prefer more than Q-Tips.  They are gentle enough to use as ear swabs.  I even use them to take off eye makeup.  If you have never spent the little extra change on purchasing Q-Tips, you're missing out.

When my husband asks me to buy q-tips, he means Q-Tips brand and nothing else will satisfy him. He works in a manufacturing environment so he uses q-tips DAILY. He will not settle for anything less. These are durable, the cotton ends don’t frizz and fall apart, and they always get the job done.

Have been buying Q-Tips "FOREVER" !!   Sure wish they would produce with the "WOODEN STICKS".   If they do, please advise where I can purchase !!

This is one of two go-to brands of swabs that I purchase - these are usually well within my budget, they're nicely padded on both ends, and the swabs are well fixed. I use them for so many purposes, including fixing little makeup mishaps and removing fingernail polish. Definitely recommended.

I love the Q-tip brand have tried many other store brands and they are not even close to the quality of the Q-tip brand. They are high quality and you never feel the cardboard through the cotton.

These q tips are very soft. I use them to take of my mascara and they do not irritate my eyes or skin. These did meet my expectations and are very gentle. I use these every night and do not think they could be improved.

These are my GO TO cotton swabs. Their product stays intact to the stem while in use and for the price you just can't beat it. I also use these to remove smeared eyeliner or when I mess up on my mascara.

Great Tips for Everyday use ,i use it everyday for makeup for smudging , they are perfect

Wonderful for ears and cleaning in hard to reach places. Nice packaging good value. Highly recommend

I always use these for my makeup when I mess up or have to fix a small part of face such as lipstick or my eye brows or smudging mascara! I also use them for their biggest purpose for your ears but I always have them on hand they are a must have for small mistakes while doing my makeup!

I've never been a fan of off brands cotton swabs but have tried them. There is no comparison to Q-Tips and they are the only ones I will continue to buy. It's just not worth it to try to save a few cents on off brands when Q-Tips are the best you can buy!

These are the best cotton swabs. I use them to touch up any makeup mistakes and they work like a charm.

Always buy this brand! Great at cleaning ears, gentle and also great at getting to small places

I have been buying Qtips for 40 years. The latest packages have very little cotton on the end and I have actually scratched myself with the stick when it pokes through. You need to go back to the quality product that I know and love because I cannot use these any longer. What a shame.

Great product for apply creams or ointment! Good for makeup, and first aid. Also the only brand I buy, they are durable and dont break easily like other brands.

I just opened a brand new box of cotton swabs and there is DUST in the box. Absolutely disgusting!!! I use these things on my face! I used these every day and now I’m switching brands because of this. Totally disappointed.

Very affordable and affective. Ive been using q-tips for as long as I can remember! Theyre also great for sensitive ears.

I love Q-Tips; they are so versatile! I use them for everything from cleaning my ears (not too deep!), to an "eraser" for makeup, and if I'm in a jam, I will even use them as an applicator. They met and exceeded every expectation and I will most definitely continue to purchase and use Q-Tips :-)

My favorite q-tips. This is only brand I buy. I have used them since I was a child and like them  buy the double pack you save tons of money   They are a great value when purchased in double pack  I would recommend to moms of small children

The only brand of Q-tips that you need.  They work great and are my gold standard for cotton swabs.

Love buying this brand lasts a whole month and a half , helps keep my ears clean and the also help with nail polish clean up.

Omg! Who doesn't use these? I find them handy and keep some in my makeup and travel pack when I go on trips. There's not a time I don't use them. They have big packs and travel size packs. Keep a pack in your makeup bag.

Very sturdy, I hate when you are using a cotton swab and it bends in the middle, these do not do that

I like these cause they don't come part as you are using them. It's a good brand to buy. They aren't expensive either. Pretty well cheap.

I don't have much to say about these, Q-tips are Q-tips and they get the job done! Works wonder for when I'm trying to do my eyeliner and I mess up halfway through haha.

Does what it should, easy use doesnt irritate or damage ears and gets the job done well

They cotton swabs so yes its great it soft and cheap their is really not much I can say about this

These are great for everything.  Frome cleaning up ur eyeliner mistakes to lipstick mistakes. To cleaning the small parts of the car.

Where’s the cotton?? Seriously it feels like I’m cleaning my ears with a stick.
