I always puchased Qtip brand because the paper shaft was good and rigid. The new package of them have shafts with almost no strength. They literally fold in half with only the slightest pressure, like the cheapest no name brands I always avoided. I will now purchase my swabs online. Many more options, with bamboo or stiff paper shafts. I am so disappointed. Oh, and the 3 pack we always purchased now have 1 smaller quantiy pack included. I'm tired of all of these maximize profit models these companies are taking where they either shave off a few ounces here or quantities there. This is a double whammy with quality being lowered to the cheapest generic brands. I'm buying quality online from now on, even if it costs a little more in the long run. Also, the cotton tip is smaller!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These q tips are my everyday essential. From using in makeup to cleaning earwax. From using in kids drawing to clearing small spaces. I use these everyday in my life. These came nicely packaged in a tube with lid 300 tips. These have buds on both sides. These are very easy to use and dispose of.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was expecting them to be hard or hurt my inner ear, and they did not. They are really soft and cushiony. I used them to go clean around my ear, and they didn't hurt at all. I used them on my toddler, and they said it didn't hurt that it was soft.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Q-tips are a staple in my bathroom. I use them for makeup touch-ups, cleaning ears (carefully!), and also when I need to clean ears and noses of my kids. The cotton is soft and doesn’t unravel like some cheap brands. They’re worth the try!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have always used q tips from cleaning ears to cleaning cd radios. I also include them in my makeup regimen. Applying vaselina with a q tip will easily correct any mistakes with makeup and create smokey eye looks. I use these q tips for almost everything. They keep me neat and sanitary without having to use my fingers. I received this item for free, but my review and opinion is my own.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We love qtip brand. The packaging doesn’t take up much space. They are easy to use. Great value for the price. Easy to open container. Can be used for a variety of things and they don’t bend easy like the off brand qtips

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Original Q-tips brand is the BEST. No cotton unraveling of the swab before you even get done using it. They get the job done, however you use them. I especially love this cute little vanity tub. The lid is fantastic for keeping the swabs clean and dry so they are safe and ready when you need them. The box is notorious for opening and having swabs fall out or get contaminated before you use them, but this keeps them safe and contained.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product is perfect to stick in your purse and take with you on the go! I use them to touch up my makeup all the time and I didn't even realize how much I'd use them. I received these for free but I'm so glad I got to try them out. I don't think I could go without them now!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product for review just before I left for spring break and it came just in time. It was so convenient while packing and it's so small that I can store in my purse, desk, really anywhere.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Q-tips are my tried and true go-to after the shower. I cannot start my day without cleaning my ears! The texture is light and fluffy and there is obviously no scent to it so you don't need to worry about any kind of irritation, besides accidentally poking yourself! Love these and Will use forever!
