Quality has exponentially dipped over the years. Bends like rubber. Used to be a loyal customer.

A three pack for this price is like highway robbery! Great product that will go a long way!

Great quantity for the price

I have been a loyal Q-tip user for years, but the quality has noticeably declined recently. The sticks are flimsier than before, bending too easily, and the cotton is thinner and inconsistent. It no longer feels as soft or secure as it once did. I expected better from a brand that was once the gold standard. Unfortunately, I’m now searching for an alternative.

Absolutely horrible quality. I've used this brand most of my life but will never buy again. The stem is so flimsy that you can't use it effectively for any purpose. Now I am stuck with 1000's of QTips that are essentially worthless.. It upsets me each time I use one so I will likely donate these to be used for crafts and such.

These cotton swabs are the worst I've ever used. They are not the quality I'm used to getting from QTip brand. What a Huge disappointment. I will shop for a new brand. The swabs are flimsy and lacking in the amount of cotton. I have used Q tip for over 30 years and have not experienced such a poor product. For the premium price I will look elsewhere.

Great value

Something's amiss with their latest manufacturing! I bought the 3-pack with the 100th Anniversary emblem. I have always bought the more expensive Qtip brand because all other brands bend and break in comparison. Well there's no difference now! I would return if possible. Totally not worth the money.

I have been using the Q-tip brand exclusively for over 40 years. I would not allow my wife to purchase any other brand because no other cotton swab I had ever used could compare. Others were either too weak, and the shaft would flex. Or the cotton would be too thin and / or come off during use, leaving you open to the possibility of being poked with the stick/ shaft... Well, that's exactly what I'm experiencing with my last 2 purchases of q-tips. They bend so horribly during use that you can't use them correctly. Unilever has cheapened up the materials used, and the quality is no longer what it once was. I will be looking for an alternative. It makes me sad. It seems nothing is as good as it once was.

SHAME ON YOU, UNLEVER!! As if this multi-gazillion $$ company are rich enough, they have to raise the prices while downgrading the quality!! Q-Tips are one of those items that people who know quality would never skimp on. It's a premium price for a premium product. it is totally disgusting that Unllever would ruin a product that is so important to so many. Making the sticks shorter is almost understandable for increasing profits. Making that stick bend and break like a hollow single sheet of paper is not. Even holding it close by the cotton will not keep it straight. And about that cotton... where the heck did it go?!! The ends are barely covered. Between the bend of the stick and lack of cotton, this once beloved product is not only disappointing, it is now potentially dangerous.
