The classic Q-Tips are a staple in everyones home and in ours too. They work well. I use them for personal grooming, cleaning, painting... you name it! They are just right for dabbing and getting into corners when cleaning and they hold their shape and do not compress. When used for personal grooming I wouldn't touch a generic Q-tip with a ten foot pole because the cotton comes off. Not with real Q-tips... they are safer to use in delicate areas and for mani's pedi's too. They are just right!

The only brand I will buy as the quality is amazing. There is not risk of the swab coming lose from the stick. These are also very using for doing house hold cleaning to clean dust away from not so easy to reach spots.

These cotton swabs are the best quality of any brand I have used. They are handy for so many different uses. I always have them in the house, my make up bag and suitcases.

Love q-tips, and not for just cleaning my ears. The are a great tool for makeup as well. I use them every day to clean up my waterlines before putting on eye liner. It makes it last all day, and really helps with it looking great. I also use them for cleaning up makeup mistakes

When I first met my husband he was using cotton swabs that were not Q-tip. I had always used Q-tip, but thought, what could the difference be, it's a cotton swab right...well I tried his brand and hated every second using them. The stick that holds the cotton balls bends, the cotton falls off and generally makes me Very cranky! I was not long switching the household over to Q-tip. We use it for cleaning the outer part of ears, makeup application, and cleaning pets ears too. When I want to pack makeup for an evening, but don't have enough room in my purse, I put some on q-tips and put it in a baggy, it takes up much less room

I'm a bit of a 'saver' so I've tried no name everything.... but Q-tips are a MUST BUY. No Name cotton swabs are weak and feeble compared. I still have a full box of no name cotton swabs I use for eye makeup removal.. but Q-tip cotton swabs are the bees-knees.

This has always been my go to brand for everything - including wiping excess nail paint in the cuticles. The sizing of the tip is nice and the sticks are quite hardy for those with a firm grip. However, the only downside is that there is less cotton on the cottonbud - at times, it has been more stick and less cotton. Overall, it is a good product for everyday use.

My boyfriend swears by this brand. He forbids me to buy any other one, we tried, but we always came back to it. Q-tips is the king in cotton swabs !! Woulnd't change it :)

It's the only brand I buy where the cotton does't fall off the stick. I've tried many products in the past. I keep coming back to this one. Excellent product to use!! I would recommend this product to anyone.

Cotton swabs are very absorbent for putting antibacterial lotion or liquid right where you need it....sores? Intected earrings? These give you the control you need to not have antibacterial everywhere
