They are thicker than the dollar store brand so they do not hurt my ears. I am satisfied with the quantity you get for the dollar amount. They work very well and I would buy these every time!

Lets face it, we've all tried the cheaper, no-name brands. And we've all regretted it almost immediately! With Q-tips brand, you know you are getting great quality cotton swabs that won't fall apart or hurt you. Accept no substitutes!

These are my go-to cotton swabs. While other (cheaper) brands do a fine job I find these to be the most comfortable in my ear and for removing makeup mistakes.

I can't remember the last time I used a different type of cotton swab.

You know when you're not using this name brand. Everything else lacks enough cotton and is much more harmful to sensitive ears. I will only use q-tips!

There are a lot of things in life where you can go with a cheaper, no-name version. Cotton swabs are not one of them. Q-tips brand is the ONLY one to buy. The sticks are sturdy and hold their shape, the cotton swab ends stay together and stay put on the sticks. I use these for a multitude of beauty and grooming uses, as well as kids crafts, and household cleaning. Do yourself a favour, spend the (little) extra and buy the one and only Q-tips brand.

Q-tips are the PERFECT product for so many things! They are so versatile!
Nail polish touch ups, cleaning tiny crevices in cars (when you want to be extremely detailed!), makeup application/touch ups, getting the last bit of product out of small, hard to reach, containers! I always keep a big box around, and have a few of the smaller travel size pouches so i always have them handy!

I use Q-Tips for everything. They are perfect for makeup touch ups and for cleaning your ears. I also use Q-Tips to clean small hard to reach areas like the vents in my car.

These are amazing for makeup touch ups, cleaning ears and many other household things! We always have a box in the bathroom in our house as well as travel packs to go with us when we leave home.

These are great. Honestly this is one thing i will never buy off brand these swabs are way more sturdy and useful then any of their offbrand counter parts.

Q-tip Cotton Swabs are the only cotton swabs I have ever used not just for personal hygiene, but also for craft projects, cleaning jobs and even for paint application. A great invention!
