Works well, but quality has gone down. The stick is not as sturdy years ago. Easily bendable. Less cotton on swab as well

Great value

Great product

I prefer Q-Tips over any other brand. I'm glad Sam's carries these. I prefer the paper sticks over the plastic ones.

These name brand q-tips used to be strong. Now they bend easily, meaning they obviously are trying to save on materials and therefore quality was compromised.

I’m not sure what happened, maybe it was just the batch I bought. I specifically buy cardboard ones because they don’t bend as easily but this batch is worse than the hollow plastic tubes. If this changes, I’d love to do a different review!

I'm not sure if it was the batch, but this last time I purchased these Q-tip cotton swabs, they're VERY flimsy. The stick part bends and doesnt hold shape very well. I'd rather buy one box from any other store instead of bulk if this is how they are. Unless it was just an orf batch.

This is something I will not skimp on. It's quality you can depend on. Tried another brand that cost a little less and almost needed a trip to ENT because the cotton came off in my ear. Multiple uses, cleaning makeup, applying ointment and cleaning wounds.

Been using Q-tips since around the time they were fighting in court for 'Q-tips' to be a brand and not the product name and have always depended on them to be useful. Don't know if I got a rouge batch, but the cotton does not seem to be wound as tight on the stick and tends to fray from the end more than you would like. Too bad...

I wanted to like these so badly. Just like so many items being sold today, they smell so moldy. I was hoping the plastic wrap would keep out any odors from a stinky warehouse. Sadly, the only part that wasn't smelly is the part that was covered by both the package and the inserted label. The upper portion smelled right through the plastic wrap and into the box of q-tips. I was able to save about a third of them. But, I'm allergic to mold so the rest is garbage. Money lost.
