Brand Name Matters and Q-Tip is the Best!
I don't think I'm ever going to run out of Q-tips after receiving this 1750 count pack! Possibly hyperbolic, but I can confidently say these will last my family a long time. Q-tips were one of the first products I remember deciding that name brand was essential for quality. I find that Q-tip brand have a softer feel and the cotton on the end of the product more complete...

Decline in quality
The quality of QTIPS has drastically declined. I’ve been buying these for over fifty years and I’m so disappointed in a product that I use daily. What happened?

You guys changed
This used to be the only cotton swabs I bought because of the strong stick now they bend in your ear. Not good! I can buy the cheaper ones if they are going to just bend in my ear.

The OG
Q-Tips are the OG cotton swab. They’re perfect at what they do and a household staple with hundreds of uses. I much prefer the standard swabs over the generic ones with the plastic sticks. These are far better for the environment and less likely to snap and poke you. The only downside is that my most recent box had several defective swabs that were missing one of the en...

Poor quality
"Q" might have stood for quality years ago, but not anymore. Quality does not seem to be the priority. My household has gone through 3 different 625 count boxes of Q-tips the past couple years and the quality of the Q-tips brand Q-tips are now no better than the Dollar General or Dollar store brand products. The cotton swabs are inconsistently made from one to another a...

Bathroom staple
A bathroom staple. So many different uses. Cleaning ears. Removing makeup and nail polish. Cleaning in hard to reach spots. Been using Q-tips all my life they hold up better than the store brands.

So many uses
Q-tips are super useful around my place. I use them every day for makeup, cleaning little cuts, or even small spots in my car. We even use them when we're painting. So, having a ton of them on hand is pretty much a must-have at my house. We love and use them, and I think they're more durable than the generic ones.

Multiple uses.
I received these Q-Tips complimentary from Influenster. They are perfect for helping get in the nooks and crannies when taking off eye makeup. They are super absorbant and the right size. The multi-pack is great for our family of 5. The box is easy to open.

Quality has gone way downhill
Why are Q-Tips such poor quality lately? They used to literally be the best, gold standard cotton swab. Have used them for years to clean my ears daily. In the last year or so, the sticks are more bendy and there is noticeably less cotton on the tips. The cotton on the tips is usually loose and not nice and tightly wound. This leaves more scratchy stick at the tip to sc...

Used to be good.
Just bought the second box of 500 Q-Tips cotton swabs. I had hopes this box would be the quality that Q-Tips was known for. Nope, they are flimsy and roll under any pressure. There is nothing left that separates Q-Tips from the generic brands except the price. Hopefully, someone got a big promotion for cutting production cost.

Small but powerful!
Q-tips cotton swabs are one of those household staples I can’t live without. The uses are endless! I reach for them to clean hard-to-get spots like the refrigerator water spout, and they’re perfect for removing nail polish without making a mess. Soft, sturdy, and reliable, they handle the little jobs that make a big difference around the house. Definitely a must-have in...

Q-tips ++
You try cheaper brands and they just don’t it like the classic Q-tips brand. I use them for make-up application, removal, cleaning ears, and tight spots around the house.

Best brand
As usual the qtips brand is the best for this product. They work great for not only makeup and hygiene but also for cleaning and other. Household uses.

I mean qtips have been around forever and for good reason. They are super versatile and great for tons of applications. I love how easy they are to throw in your makeup bag or to your first aid kit

Best cotton swab around
Qtips is the only brand of cotton swabs that we trust in our family from our newborn to our own ears. The packaging is easy to open and the quality of the swabs beat all the rest. The stick is firm and gets in small places. They are durable.. one stick goes a long way

Not only use to clean ear also for cleaning my mascara or simply use the cream for my baby without havi...

Versatile
I use q tips every. Single. Day. Cleaning and drying my ears after a shower. Smudging makeup. Can never have enough q tips on hand. You get so much for just a little money and I will never not have q tips in my home.

OG
The only swabs that I use. I’ve tried cheaper versions and nothing compares to the original q-tip. They have the most cushion and absorption of all the swabs. You get an extreme value for the quantity you receive.
