Unlike the dollarstore brand, these ones tend to not have that extra "lint" or cotton poking out nor easy to unravel. A great new appreciation for this brand as it is as reliable and useable. Also soft to touch and not coarse.

I don't know if this happens in your home, but it happens in mine. We find a product/brand that we love and the brand name becomes the product name. In comes Q-tip. We never say cotton swab in my house. It is pass the Q-tip. This is an awesome product that gets the job done. Love it

I never buy anything else. Nothing compares to the quality of the actual Q-tip brand. I use these for so many things, from doing my makeup to cleaning hard to reach small places in the house, and even painting with my kids. I purchased the store brand ones before and they are not good at all. Spend the extra dollar for Q-tip brand and you wont be dissapointed.

Q-Tips,, are simply amazing in every way and can be used for must about anything from cleaning ears to cleaning window pains ,,,, I have had a box of Q-tips in my house at all times in the passed 35 yrs,,they have help me raise 3 kids and 2 grandkids.. There are just soo many uses for Q-tips.... I couldn't possibly list all

I have been a fan of Q-Tips since before I can remember. I have tried the no name brands and I find if there is enough cotton then it fall off but usually there is not enough cotton. That's what I love about Q-Tips, there is enough cotton on the tips and the cotton doesn't come off too easy either.

Q-tips brand cotton swabs are my favourite as they are high quality. I have tried many other brands but constantly return to Q-tips. They are sturdy and never bend or break under pressure, which is something that always seems to be a characteristic of other brands. Would definitely recommend.

I always use Q-tips for my beauty maintenance needs. I have tried no name before and they don't work as well as Q-Tips. I use them for applying makeup, getting that last bit of lipstick out of the tube and spring cleaning as well.

I grew up with the Q-tips brand as the only one my father would use. When I moved out, I bought cheaper brands a few times, but always ended up going back to Q-tips because of the inferior quality of other brands. So I've given up trying to save a dollar as I always end up wasting the money spent on the cheaper versions by not finishing the box!

With Q-tips, I appreciate the firmness of the stick so that it isn't bending when I'm putting a bit of pressure on it. The tip is soft and doesn't fall apart.

I use them for my ears, for makeup correction and tricky nail polish areas that I can't get with a cotton pad.

I use Q-tips to clean my ears and to correct any make-up mistake. It works great to remove extra mascara, eye shadow or foundation. It is more expensive than the no name brand but better quality. I will definitely buy these again.

when I was a kid my Mom would occasionally buy a different Brands and they never held up. Too flimsy, broke or the swab wasn't thick enough. For the last 25 years this is the only brand I buy. They are great for more than makeup and water in your ears.
