Recently purchased a new box of Q-TIPS ® Cotton Swabs. There is less cotton on the tip, and worst of all the carboard stick is so flimsy as to render them useless. So I purchased a couple of generic travel ones to compare. You are now as bad or worse then those. You went from the product I'd buy over any other, to a waste of my time and money. Now while filling in this form I see you ask: What influences your purchase? and quality isn't an option. guess that is a telling sign.

I have used Q-tips brand cotton swabs my whole life. Our family always knew that if you wanted cotton swabs that didn't bend or lose the cotton tips, Q-tips were the the best. We have been living overseas, and we always made sure to take a two year supply with us. We have recently returned, and I bought a new three pack of Q-tips. How disappointing to have the cotton tips unravel and the sticks bend like every other brand. I am grieved that a quality item I have always valued seems to have made some unsatisfactory changes.

I usually buy off-brand with things like these, but none hold up to the quality that Q-Tips does. These are firm, don't fall apart when you use them, and help with everything from cleaning my laptop to the outside of my ears (don't put them inside your ears, people!!)

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are the perfect size for traveling! Same great quality as always with qtip. I love threw these in my toiletry bag for a trip and they came in very handy! I got these for free from influenster to test, I really am very happy with the product. This review is my own opinion of the product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Q-tips with 300 paper stick cotton swabs are a household essential. The soft cotton tips are perfect for delicate tasks, from makeup touch-ups to cleaning small spaces. The paper sticks are sturdy and eco-friendly, making them a reliable and sustainable choice for everyday use. No scent.

As others have said I only buy Q-Tips for the dependable quality. At least I did in the past, lately (especially the Antimicrobial) seem to have less cotton at the tip and what is there does not stay put. Besides using them to clean the outside of ears and nose etc. I wear and clean a CPAP daily, I wash the mask and dry the small recesses with a Q-Tip, lately the cotton unravels and leaves strands in the mask not so good when you are trying to go to sleep and strands of cotton go up your nose. Give us back out Quality product please. P.S. I only buy the paper stick type not the plastic ones.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Q-tips have earned my loyalty by consistently delivering quality that others just can't match. The sticks are remarkably durable – no snapping or bending under gentle pressure. The cotton itself is thick, plush, and generously wrapped, making them perfect for ear cleaning without that dreaded stick 'poking through' fear. The only thing I dislike is the large 300-count round container. While being very convenient, it is made of a flimsy plastic. It feels wobbly and prone to cracking, which is disappointing for a product that emphasizes quality in other areas. Despite this container flaw, I won't be switching brands EVER! Q-tips remain the superior choice for me and my family. They offer a level of comfort, durability, and versatility that other brands just don't have. If you value quality and are tired of flimsy, cheaply-made cotton swabs, give Q-tips a try!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Q-tips are a staple here in my house and I'm sure many other houses! I was super excited to try out this vanity tub to hold them rather than the other packaging. I use q tips for my makeup and need them near. The packaging is very convenient for moving around since it has a top that comes off and on. It holds 300 q tips, and it is pretty cute overall. The only thing I would change is the tubs overall quality. It's a bit flimsy, and I would like it to be a more solid piece of plastic. I would def buy this!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Q-tips travel pack is great on the go. I use them when I go out of town. It's much better than throwing them in a Ziploc bag! I received this product complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Being using the brand for a while and this are my favorites. The tips are sturdy and soft they don’t come apart easily like other brands. Love the easy access packaging and they are always a great value for the quality and amount.
