Best Safety Swabs for Toddlers and Babies
These are the only safety swabs I use for my baby and toddler. With other brands the cotton just falls apart and doesn’t seem safe to put in my children’s ears. I know Johnson’s safety swabs have been discontinued. Please bring them back!

THE STEMS ARE PLASTIC - DO NOT BUY
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It’s impossible to see the swabs through the packaging, but the sticks are plastic when they should be paper. This is 2025. We are all aware of single use plastic. The packaging and the verbiage on the packaging are both misleading.

Not the same
Q tips are not what they use to be. When you use them they bend real easy and the cotton comes off when using them.

I've been using these on my daughter for a couple months now. They are the perfect size and the swab shape doesn't let you go too deep in your child's ear which is awesome.

Unnecessary PLASTIC sticks!
Each safety swabs is made of the cotton swabs on a piece of plastic!! Not only is this totally unnecessary as paper holds up just fine for the job—the swabs are used for mere
seconds—but the package is misleading. The packaging states everywhere “100% cotton”, with no mention of anything plastic. Minimizing/eliminating single-use plastic is the easiest way to reduce p...

Zero stars; rods are plastic
I bought these yesterday and opened the box today. The rods are made of plastic and that is not indicated on the box. I am very upset and disappointed. I bought these over the generic they were next to on the shelf. The generic said they had plastic rods, this box says “100% cotton” and “made of cotton” with no mention of anything else. I called the number on the b...

Where are the swabs made?
I have noticed that the packages no longer read "made in the USA"; where are they now made?

Easy Cleaning
These safety swans allow for you to safely clean the external ear of your baby or toddler. They are easy to use and work well. They aren’t meant for cleaning deep inside the canal, so don’t push it in. It’s for gentle external ear cleaning. They aren’t costly and are amazing! Give them a try. My son doesn’t mind cleaning his at all!

NOT FOR GRANNY
These may be good for little ones...but not for me. I used the old cotton swabs made by J&J and they were the best on the market. I have tried every brand AND NONE MEASURED UP. Why can't you make both types..one for little ones and one for the general population. Guarantee they would fly off the shelves!! PLEASE PUT THEM OUT THERE AGAIN.

it's not for everyone
Yes this design is great for safety for babies, toddlers. But speaking for me and my husband they definitely aren't for us "we like the original design", they are more user friendly - for us and hopefully for many other adult consumers buying your brand.
It's been our experience that your original Q-tips had more padding than others on the market.

Safe to use!
I love these! I know I can clear my childrens ears without the fear of damaging anything. They are also wonderful for their little noses when feeding them babyfood and they move, oops! LOL!
