I have never considered any other brand because these were always reliable and strong. However, since they changed the way they make them they are just as flimsy as generic ones. The stick bends so much easier now and is no longer the same quality we grew up with. Some products need to learn that some changes are not always better.

As indicated previously, there is little to no cotton on the end of the q-tip! The first time we realized there was a problem, my elderly father felt pain in his ear and when he pulled out the q-tip there was no cotton. After a panicked trip to the doctor, turns out there wasn’t any cotton in his ear but the q-tip had none to begin with. Incredibly disappointed I’d recommend generic over these!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Q-tips are a household brand. They are great for so many uses. Having tried many generic ones, we ALWAYS go back to the OG Q-tips. Being able to buy them in bulk is fantastic. Whether you use them for hygiene, crafts projects, or other odd jobs, Q-tips stand up to the job!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The always dependable Q tips! This jumbo package will definitely last me for years, but I know that no matter what they will be exactly what I'm looking for if I need them. The cotton swab is always tight and never frayed like other brands, and they hold up well to moisture when I use them on my nails.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Perfectly sized, easy to store, and thoughtfully shaped. Q tips cotton swabs feel soft yet sturdy, making them great for everything from makeup clean ups to everyday care. I love how neatly they fit into my storage without taking up space.

Used this brand since childhood and they were always well cushioned and didn’t fall apart. Not anymore. These have little to no cushioning and approximately half of the box has no cushion on one end. Sad that a good product is not something to be safely used on children or pets as they used to be.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Q-tips are a staple in our home. They are perfect for health and beauty applications. They are also good for crafting. This is our preferred brand. I received these in exchange for my honest review.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product from influenster to review. . I really love these. They are my favorite. You can use for many things. Makeup, art, cleaning, doing your nails. They are thin and just the right amount of cotton on them.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like this pack. The paper stick is a big plus for me since it feels like a better option for the planet. They're sturdy, don't bend easily, and the cotton feels soft and well attached. The quantity is great for the price, and the box mentions savings up to around 30%, which makes it a really good value. Overall, it's a practical everyday item with good quality and excellent cost-benefit for how many you get.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I will never buy a different brand of cotton swab than Q-Tip! They are consistent and hold together on paper sticks that don't pollute our environment with plastic! They have wonderfully tight tips and can be adjusted due to their tightly wound cotton.
