I got on this web site to find a phone number to call, when I noticed so many other reviews mentioning the same fact. Now I know I am not the only one with this concern. Yes, I too have noticed that the cotton ends are not the same. They are very compact and not as soft as before. I too have gone to purchasing another brand. I didn't mind paying more for better quality, but why pay more for a lesser quality. Sorry, I had been a trusted Q-tip buyer for over 50 years, but not anymore.

I am very picky with cotton swabs and I have to say I LOVE the Q-TIPS 100% cotton and the paper sticks from sustainable forests. Main questions would be: are the sticks made of 100% paper and are biodegradable? Are you working on other solution to get rid of the package made of plastic?

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Qtips are great for a variety of things and they're never not useful. I received the 30 ct travel size free for review but let's be honest, we have all used these cotton stick wonders. I'm glad I was sent them, I especially love the travel package. Can easily throw in a purse or car, ill just reuse and refill when I run out. Great for cleaning or makeup uses.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Everyone held cotton swabs q-tips for a reason. They are the original, and they are sturdier and the heads are less likely to fall off than generic brands. This giant package will last me for a very long time.

I love the travel pack! it's great for on the go, I always have this in my bag! It's so convenient and the quality is great! I use this to remove or fix makeup mishaps that might happen throughout the day! I tested Q-tips for free, but all opinions are my own.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These Q-tips for on the on the go are perfect for traveling anywhere you may need them. They're small enough to fit in your purse or even a pocket, so they can be taken wherever and the travel box it comes in has a closable lid for easy use without fear of them spilling out. Highly recommended.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] QTips are one of the best ear cleaners on the market. I love the circular container with lid. It allows my to leave them out without my cats being to get them out of the package. It's also smaller in size, so it doesn't take up alot of room. There is no scent.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got these as a free sample from Influenster in the Glam Voxbox and I absolutely love them. I use them to smudge my eyeliner for a smokey eye, or to clean up any any liner that likes to smudge when it's supposed to stay put! They are super convenient, I just throw them in my purse or bookbag and they're there when I need them. Everyone needs the Q-tips Travel Pack!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely think that this is a must-have item. It includes cotton swabs in a travel compact case, that can for in your purse, pocket, glove compartment and many more. I use these cotton swabs whenever I made an mess on your fingers when painting nail polish. It is perfect for clean up involving painting you nails and also makeup. It can help neatly clean up makeup mistakes. The ideas are endless with these cotton swabs. I recommend this product to many.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this reusable and refillable container. It’s smaller than their normal box packaging which makes it easier to store. The quality of Q-tips is unmatched. It’s the only brand I use for the whole family. There’s no scent and the texture is just right. They are effective and multi-functional.
