I have used the brand name for years and only tried generic one time when name brand was out of stock and they were garbage now these are just as bad if not worse the cotton swab doesn't seem to have as much cotton and the sticks are flat out garbage without putting pressure on them they collapse total disappointment in the Q-TIP brand

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the Q-tips travel size cotton swabs. They are very helpful and convenient for me when I need them. Like when I'm in a rush and need to go I just throw them in my bag for school, or work and finish my makeup on the bus or car on my way to me destination. They help when you need to get into the small spots that you can't reach with make up and what not depending on the type of bushes and things you use. I strongly recommend buying these, and I will continue to buy these. Influenster helped to remind me on the reasons why I love Q-tips even more by letting me try it for free.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love q-tip. I use it for just about everything. I mostly use them to clean my babies ears and nose and its does the trick. It's not like others that are too big or too soft and fall off while using. They are strong and holds together. I received samples from #influenster to try and I have to say they are great.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The products are good as would be expected from the Q-tip brand. They come in a plastic package of 300 which in my opinion is not as good as the normal paper/cardboard packaging - it seems more wasteful to use plastic in this way. I prefer to buy the larger amount as well. This product is good for someone who doesn’t need a large amount of q-tips and wants to use the plastic packaging to keep them in.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Q-tip brand cotton swabs are the best! The only brand my family and I use. They don't fall apart or fold in half while being used. I like that they can be used for cleaning out ears, makeup and nail polish.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These Q-tips are the perfect size not too long not too short. They don’t bend when I use them to clean my ears. The cotton does not shed. it’s very much intact. There’s no scent. I just love the tub that they come in. It’s compact, it’s portable, and the top stays on. I highly recommend these Q-tips!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm already a fan of q-tips, but I'm a bit of a bargain hunter, so I've tried out the lower end dupes of this product. And nothing comes close to the effectiveness of q-tip. For one, there is actually enough cotton swab for your use, without hitting the stick. Two, the stick is not made of plastic or otherwise questionable materials. And finally, this set is so travel friendly and pretty. I like not having to find a container of plastic baggy for traveling. I recieved a free sample of this product, but all opinions are my own and I am in no way compensated for my honest review.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've used Q-tips for my entire life! And I absolutely love these travel packs. I first saw these around a year ago when my brother bought some. And I went out and purchased a few to have at home, in the car, in bags. I also travel annually with family, and these are perfect for that because they don't take up that much space in luggage (as opposed to the big box) and they come conveniently packaged and won't get squished (as opposed to just putting them in a ziploc bag) I got to try Q-tips for free in an exchange for an honest opinion :) but I've been using these for years tho.

My family and I’ve been using Q-tips cotton swabs for decades because they were the best. They keyword is “were.” Recently, they’ve gone the way of profit over quality. The handle of the swab is weak and crumples with minimal pressure. The swab itself is likely smaller too. I am sure materials and labor have increased and they’d still like to make a profit. Unfortunately, their cotton swabs are now no better than I use to consider the cheap stuff.

I have always been a huge supporter of Q-Tip cotton swabs, and I only use Q-Tip brand, due to them having a great amount of cotton on the tip and not hurting my ears. The last few times that I have purchased them, I have been highly disappointed. It seems that they are using less cotton on the tips, and they aren't as comfortable in my ears. I hope that I might have just got a batch that was off, but I bought them in bulk, so it will be a while before I buy more. I felt the need to inform you, and I couldn't find an email address to send it, so I just wrote a review. Thanks for your time!
