Q tips are the only brand I use! They are strong and the cotton doesn't fall apart like other brands. They travel well and can be used to clean ears, remove makeup mistakes or to clean small crevices

Great multi purpose tool - I've used it to clean up nail polish, fix make up mistakes, soften eye shadow and sometimes as a cleaning tool for little objects!

these are strong yet gentle. They never loose the cotton and the stick although slightly flexible is strong enough to clean the stickiest toughest mess. Great for dealing with mascara messes and smoothing eye shadow

Q-tips Cotton Swabs are the best swabs by far, i have always been loyal and the few times i have had to use other brands, i am quickly reminded why i stick with Q-Tips! They have the most cotton on the tip which make them the softest choice.

I have used these since childhood and so far haven't found anything better. These swabs don't 'fuzz out' either during storage outside original box (e.g. in makeup case) or during use. The 'stem' is firm and doesn't flex or break as they do for cheaper brands. I do feel that they are less puffy/padded than they used to be, so unfortunately seem to be getting similar to other lower quality brands (e.g. store brands). Hopefully they improve again, or at the very least don't get worse.

Preferred cotton swab brand. Effective for small make-up mishaps, cleaning hard to reach places. Applying lotions and topical creams. Multi functional beauty product.

It's my go to cotton swab. It consistently has better cushioning on the ends and the whole swab is made of better material than knock offs. They're not expensive so its always a safe bet to get q-tips. Other ones don't have enough cushioning at the end or are made of hard plastic which is uncomfortable.

Q-Tips are the only cotton swabs to use. They hold together without coming apart, firm yet soft. I have used them for many things ...ears,nose eyes etc. cleaning small items such as rings & jewelery oiling small parts and the list goes on &on;. An invaluable item for your home! All other brands I have tried cannot compare to Q-tips.

These Q-tips are better than the cheap ones that you can get at Dollarama or Dollar Tree. They seem to be more absorbent and have more of a cotton tip. For any make-up or application of a small quantity of cream or ointment, I would recommend these.

These are the only Q-tips that I will use, I have used no name and the cheaper ones, but they just don't cut it, Q-tip has been in my home for like ever and will be forever!! I use them for everything like makeup and removing mistakes on my nail polish, and I have even let the grandkids use them as paint brushes for those paint books!!
