Q Tips used to be a high quality product, and I would spend more for them than the off brand. No longer true! The stick bends with simple use and the cotton tip is thin and tears easily. I really think the off brands are now better. I can only imagine the customer loss because of this. I would advise changing back quickly, or your market share will be gone, and soon. Whomever made such a poor decision should be fired.

I exclusively bought Q-tips until today. My reason is the 100% cotton tips and cardboard stick (not plastic!), unlike other brands with a plastic stick. In addition, the box was cardboard, which means it can be recycled. The cotton swabs, made from natural materials, will biodegrade. I am SO disappointed at the change to plastic packaging. In a day and age when we should be using LESS plastic, and not MORE, the switch to plastic clamshell is the opposite of corporate responsibility that we want to see. I will be sourcing out another brand as a result.

I received this item for free and I have immediately purchased another one while I was at it. I have always used qtips growing up however I fell in love with the design. I have one in my bag and one near my bathroom sink. The qtips NEVER get wet and stay perfectly clean and its travel friendly!

I confess...I cheaped out and tried a store brand swab last month. I never realized how much better REAL Q-tips really are! The generic ones bent and broke so much that I had to use twice as many. What a waste! I'll be sticking with the real deal from now on!!!

This was super convenient when traveling. I kept it in my makeup bag and it was really easy to find. I used the cotton swabs to smoke out my eyeliner and sharpen my eyeliner wing. It was very convenient that it came in the small case. It prevented the cotton from getting dirty and worn. I tested the travel pack for free, but it doesn't affect my opinion. I would definitely buy another once I run out.

Q-tips used to be the best cotton swabs but they ones I have bought recently are horribly quality. Hardly any cotton on them so they end up poking you and it's painful. The cotton unravels easier now. It's kind of sad when the off-brands are better quality than Q-tip now.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These purse packs are super handy! You never know when your makeup is gonna smudge or your ear will nred cleaned. Having these in a re-fill able purse pack is a must for me! Totally a fan!! I was sent these free to test, but all opinions are my own.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are great for on-the-go! I travel a lot and used to stuff q-tips in a little plastic baggie, but the hard case makes it super easy to grab and go. I even stuffed a few cotton balls in there too to save space. The quality is great, of course, and much more durable than store brands. I used them as disposable eye shadow and brow filler brushes on my last trip to cut down on the number of beauty tools I had to take and they worked perfectly. They're great for cleaning up makeup around the eyes too. I received these Q-tips for free from Influenster to test out, but my opinions are my own.

I fell in love with the travel pack! I got this as a complimentary sample from Influenster for testing purposes and I loved it! It comes in a small container that you can take anywhere! It easily removes my makeup mistakes in seconds along with helping to clean by piercings! I will definitely continue to purchase this in the future!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] While I usually like qtips, this packaging is terrible. It's hard not to touch the tips of the ones you aren't using. The plastic tub is food grade plastic and recyclable. Still prefer qtips to the store brand.
