This is the only cotton swab I purchase and use, It's cotton tips are soft, just the right size and the sticks are strong and sturdy. Yes, it is slightly pricier than no name or store brands but it's something I am willing to pay a bit more for because of it's quality. We are loyal Q-tips Cotton Swab users in this house!!

This brand IS the go-to because of it's quality and sturdiness. Q-tip has never disappointed me. Each swab has a very sturdy body and end so that means it doesn't bend or break on you when you use it in your ear. The cotton on the tips are tightly-woven so that the cotton doesn't fluff off or detach when you remove it from your ear. I would highly recommend this brand over all others!

Q-Tip brand cotton swabs are worth every penny spent on them. I have tried "name" brands as recently as last month with the same result every time, the cheaper brand although better priced always falls apart, I have seen some swabs actually have the cotton slide right off them leaving only the stick without even using it yet.
This is scary when you think that you use these to clean your ears out, that cotton could very well slide off inside your ear when cleaning and then you are heading to the doctors to have it removed!
Other cheaper products are just not worth it, not in any way shape or form.
Pay the extra small amount and stick with the Q-Tip brand so you know you are dealing with high quality swabs that you never have to worry about.
There is no other brand for me, and I won't waste my money trying anything else, ever!

We use q-tips daily in our house. For ears, makeup application, nsilpolish, they are used for so many things. They are durable and reliable. They are the brand we trust.

My household regularly purchases this item, they are soft and effective. This product has multiple uses and are available at a very good price. I purchase these almost every month.

Best classic item out there. You cant replace Q-tips with any other qtips. These are the best quality and I will use forever. Couldnt live without these.

They are the softest, best swab to use for anything!
Besides using them to clean your ears, I use them to clean away excess makeup around my eyes, lips, to clean the keyboard on my laptop, the crevices of my phone, so many great uses.

A regular purchase in my household. I use Q-tip cotton swabs on a daily basis for cleaning my ears, belly button, make up etc. They are very sturdy and durable.

I keep trying cheaper, dollarstore versions of this product and always come back to Q-tips. They are a bit pricier but they are worth it. They don't fall apart like other brands and the cotton is of really good quality. They are also less "sharp" than other brands and are really soft. Good for travelling ( you can dip them in eyeshadows and stick them in a ziplock bag), removing makeup, fixing makeup mistakes, and obviously cleaning your ears.

The amount of cotton on the tips is superb. When I get the free swabs in Hotel rooms I am shocked! There isn't hardly anything to them. Some competitors add colorful sticks to make them more appealing but I'll take Q-tips boring white ones any day.
