Q-tips is the only brand of cotton swabs I use. It doesn't bend easily like the cheap brands plus the cotton head is firm enough to use easily. Love it.

i have never found a cotton swab to replace qtips so i continue to buy them...i have tried other brands but keep coming back... qtips are superior in the quality of the cardboard stick, the amount of cotton used in each swab, how they are secured and the maneuverability of the tool.

Q-tips. We all know them! There are endless uses for this cotton covered sticks of paper! I normally prefer the qtips brand over generic brands due to the quality and sturdiness of the stick and the amount of cotton on each end. I have noticed that the makers have skimped on the cotton a bit though making them a bit less comfortable to use on skin.

In the past I would never consider purchasing any other brand of cotton swab, which, let's face it, meant buying a generic brand. I happily paid premium prices for a quality product. Except that the last two boxes I have purchased have been well below quality standards, often with several swabs missing cotton completely. I switched to the Shoppers' Life Brand and in the first box have not yet found one swab will a missing end.

I always have these on hand, as they're so multipurpose. Ear cleaning, makeup application and fixes, cleaning tight and hard to reach areas. I even use these to clean the little speakers on my iPhone! And the Q-tip brand is a must as well. I've tried the dollar store/no name qtips, and they're so flimsy and bendable, and the cotton falls off or isn't thick enough. It's worth the extra dollar or two :)

Have you ever tried a no-name version of Q-Tips? They just aren't good. Either the cotton falls off, or the stick bends and breaks while you're in the middle of using it. No other brand compares to the Q-Tip brand. And they can be used for so many things. Cleaning your ears, or even applying/removing makeup.

can't argue with a classic. q-tips are good for everything

These are PERFECT! I use them for cleaning makeup and nail polish. They are so useful and very durable. I would recommend these to everyone :)

Seriously, is there any other brand besides generic? I only use Q-tips brand and have for YEARS!

Great quality, excellent prices.
