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.

W tips always been a standard staple in our house. We have always bought the Q Tip brand because the other brands just don’t compare. The last box I bought had very little cotton on the end like the store brands. Super disappointed! Inflation maybe? Hoping they fix the problem and do not cut corners!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was so excited to receive the Q-tips Travel Pack in my complimentary Influenster box! Why do I like the travel pack so much? I can now take Q-tips with me and can fix my makeup so much easier on the run! Sometime I don't have a second to throw on mascara until I'm actually at work in the mornings! But I always get mascara everywhere so now it'll be easier (and cleaner) to put the travel pack in my purse to clean up my ridiculous makeup messes!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Whenever I'd go on a trip, I used to just stash a few Q-tips in my makeup bag and they'd always end up all fuzzy and covered in my makeup...gross! This little case makes it easy to always have my Q-tips on hand and ensures they are clean :) Love this idea! I received these for free to test, but my opinions are my own.

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.

A few years ago a promotion blue container was put in the drug stores which made a beautiful gift for a baby shower or simply put in the bathroom. I had requested for this blue tin box to be put back on the market and hoping the execs in marketing would consider this.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Q-tips Travel Pack is great for when I'm on the go! I'm notorious for smudging my eyeliner throughout the day, and these are perfect for when I need a touch up. I've tried off-brand cotton swabs a few times before, and none can compare to how well these hold up. No little cotton pieces going all over the place! Plus, the convenient travel case fits right into my purse. These are also great for perfecting nail polish. I received this product for free to review, but all opinions are my own.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product in exchange for my honest review. Thanks, qtips and influenster. I really enjoyed having these in a plastic container. It keeps them all together and is easy to open and close. Also, they work great and clean my ears just nicely.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received the 300ct Vanity tub Q-tips complimentary from Influenster and Q-Tips. I was pretty happy as I love receiving household essentials and these are something I typically buy when it comes time to restock ( preferably buy in bulk). Anyhoo, these have really nice soft cotton tips prob the best in Q-tip industry, but I didn’t like how much these bend easily when using on the handheld part. I thought perhaps I was manhandling them and I was being to rough, but even my 7 year old kid commented on they bend to easily. Kinda need that to be better reinforced for me swing back to these specifically. Never had this problem before. It’s odd. For that it’s like borderline 3.5 stars.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love these travel packs of Q-tips! I was able to try these as a sampling test and will definitely keep these around. I love that these are easy to take on the go. I keep it in my baby bag for easy use for my children. My sons ears drain a lot, so these are an heaven send! I did receive this sample for testing for a review but these thoughts are my own!
