[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've used Q tips all my life and I really don't know why someone wouldn't use them. They're great for cleaning in/around your ears after a shower or going swimming and they really help with small details when it comes to fixing makeup or taking it off in general.

I used to buy store brand cotton swabs, because I thought I was saving money, however this past month I purchased your Q-Tips brand of cotton swabs, I was so happy with the quality of this product that I needed to write a review, the other brands are floppy, and thin, not absorbant at all, You can liken your product to a Jet Ski,... You see, not all water craft are Jet Skis, Just like not all cotton swabs are Q-Tips

This new carton of swabs is horrible. They have less "fluff" at the ends every time I get a new box. Now, they are lowered the stick quality. They are limp and like a wet noodle. Can't do anything with them without them bending. Going to have to go back to store brands to try to find something that resembles an old Q-Tip!

I have been an avid user of Q Tips for 30 years because of their quality. The strong, cardboard stick was unmatched. I noticed last year that this quality had changed a bit, but still tried to remain loyal. After that experience I said I would buy again just to be sure I wasn’t mistaken. I bought another box today, and I am super disappointed! The cotton on the end is much thinner, and the sturdy, cardboard stick is now a weak, flimsy, very easy to bend disappointment. After many years, Its now time to bid farewell to Q Tip swabs for me, because I can find this cheap quality in less expensive brands.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] With a beautiful round box design with a convenient lid and 2 cotton tips to make it easier to use in each area. No unpleasant smell, plus the q tip has a 2-head design, 1 round and 1 pointed, easy to use.

Q-tips brand really is well made. I used off brand ear swabs for a long time (500 swabs per package lasts a while). The cotton fluffs up and doesn't clean the ear. It just moves around, not where you want it to go. Q-tip's cotton stays tight against the stick, the cotton doesn't shift. Its not even a penny more per swab to buy q-tips. If I spend a dollar more per year for one package, there is no question which brand I will buy. Two dollars more per year plus a few months. $3? Worth it. I will buy q-tips for the rest of my life.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The packing on this product makes it absolutely perfect to have on my vanity for makeup! It is a great value for the cost of the product and this is definitely something I will be purchasing again in the future.

I've been using Qtips for over 40 years daily to keep my ears free of wax build up. I've never had any issues until about a year ago. I used other brands in the past but Qtip was always the best. I went to clean my ears last year and almost pierced my eardrum as the swab was mostly missing on one end of the Qtip. Since then it has happened several times. Now that I'm paranoid I check them every morning before using them. I have to question what happened to their quality check. I understand mistakes happen but this is ridiculous. Over 40 years without any issues and now this. Please check your Qtips before using them.

I wonder if the Q-Tips are being made with less cotton because the sticks are hurting my ears like it never did before. They used to be soft. Now, there is not enough cotton on the sticks. This has happened with different boxes that I purchased so it is not a one time problem. What has changed???

I stopped buying the non Q-tip brands because they are cheap and the wand bends too easily. Well now Q-tips has changed and they bend too easily too. I will be going back to the knock off brand now since there's no point in paying for quality that's no longer there.
