Very weak tube when you use the Q-tips. Bends with almost no force, which makes it very difficult to use. These are not the same quality Q-tips from just a few years ago.

Quantity for price is very good, but the quality was surprisingly bad. The sticks were flimsy. Maybe I just got a bad batch, but I was not happy with the purchase.

I only ever vought Q-tips because they didn't collapse or bend during use. The quality sure has changed, might as well just buy generic and save the extra money.

It seems these are now made more flimsy. You cannot firmly grip the stick. It bends. I do not like new one. Plus the box’s are smaller than before.

I learned many years ago that buying off brand cotton swabs wasn't worth it so I've been a loyal Q-Tip brand customer ever since. HOWEVER, this time I am so disappointed in the quality of this brand. The stick is bendy and flexible and doesn't work well at all for any use. Might as well save money and buy a store brand product from another store. Do better Q-tip!

Q-tips cotton swabs are no longer as sturdy as they once were. They collapse with the slightest pressure. I seen other reviews saying this, but I wasn't sure until I purchased the Q-tips myself and I could not believe it! The cotton stem is thinner than before, I imagine it's a manufacturing change for better profit margins. Everyday the world is getting worse :(

Not sure what happened here. The paper the holds the cotton is more flimsy than a Starbucks straw. It not returning this but I’m definitely not rebuying.

These are so flimsy. I have always purchased name brand swabs because the cheap ones bend so easily. These feel like they came from a Dollar Tree. Will not purchase them again.

Qtips used to be the rare brand that had a strong stick between the cotton ends. They have changed their materials, and now sadly the stick bends with the slightest pressure. Very disappointing.

The paper for the swab stick is very poor and very weak. It easily bends when you use it. Also the cotton seems to be less than before, not the same Qtip as before
