I could't use these for eye makeup because the tips are very poorly wound. Little fibres sticking out and these caught on my eyelashes and contact lenses.

The cotton is not firm enough so the q-tip bends when you use it. Very annoying and hard to use.
Thin cotton, painful

DJ - 30 days ago, Verified purchaser
Purchased Feb 2025. The cotton is either thinner or not as attached as previous purchases. It starts to come apart when using it, and the stick causes discomfort in the ear. Crossing fingers it was just a bad batch (purchased 2 because they were on sale and both were the same). It’s always. When less thick than leading brand, but would stay together more. Would not recommend these right now. A 2 for value because they are very inexpensive, but not worth it unless using it for other purposes - like maybe art projects. Just not for ear because cotton is so thin and not on there well enough that the stick digs in and causes pain. Photo: top 3 are new batch, after rubbing it on my hand. Bottom swab is from previous batch, same treatment.
Excellent quality at a great price!

Comprehensive Review: Regular Cotton Swabs Paper Sticks - 500ct - up&up Rating: ★★★★★ (5/5 stars) --- Performance The Regular Cotton Swabs with Paper Sticks by up&up deliver on quality and reliability. The cotton tips are tightly wound and don’t unravel easily, even with vigorous use. Whether I’m using them for personal care, cleaning small crevices, or makeup touch-ups, they hold up well without bending or fraying. For a household staple, these exceeded my expectations. Pros: Cotton tips are firm and stay intact during use. Versatile for personal care, cleaning, and crafts. Sturdy paper sticks that don’t bend easily. Cons: Not ideal for heavy-duty cleaning tasks requiring more pressure. --- Design The swabs have a simple yet functional design. The cotton tips are evenly shaped and well-padded, which ensures safety and comfort when using them for delicate tasks like ear cleaning or makeup adjustments. I also appreciate the eco-friendly paper sticks, which feel more sustainable compared to plastic alternatives. Pros: Eco-friendly paper sticks. Smooth and even cotton tips for precise use. Safe and comfortable for delicate areas. Cons: The plain design might not appeal to those looking for something decorative or colorful. --- Usability These cotton swabs are incredibly versatile. I’ve used them for everything from cleaning electronics to smudging eyeliner for a smoky look. The 500-count pack is a great value and lasts for months, even with frequent use. The sturdy packaging also makes it easy to store and access the swabs without making a mess. Pros: Perfect for personal care, cleaning, and crafting. Generous 500-count pack ensures long-term use. Easy-to-use and durable packaging. Cons: A slightly smaller travel-sized option would be convenient for on-the-go use. --- Daily Life Fit These cotton swabs have become an essential part of my daily routine. I use them in the mornings for makeup touch-ups and skincare, and in the evenings for cleaning hard-to-reach spots on my phone and keyboard. The large quantity in the pack means I never have to worry about running out unexpectedly. --- Recommendation I highly recommend the Regular Cotton Swabs Paper Sticks by up&up to anyone who needs a reliable, versatile, and eco-friendly option for everyday tasks. Whether you’re using them for personal care, cleaning, or crafting, these swabs deliver excellent performance at a great price. --- Final Verdict The up&up 500ct Regular Cotton Swabs are a must-have household item. They’re high-quality, versatile, and environmentally conscious, making them a great addition to any home. For the price and quantity, they’re an unbeatable value. Rating: ★★★★★ (5/5 stars) Would recommend for: Anyone looking for reliable cotton swabs for personal care, cleaning, or crafting.

There is hardly any cotton on these. It’s a gamble on if you’re going to injure yourself. Buy the name brand.
