It seems like quality got better. The cotton ends usually smaller and harder and also the handle breaks easily but the one i got today the cotton ends are softer bigger and it got more flexible.
The sticks bend while you're trying to clean your ears

RS - 22 days ago, Verified purchaser
Why have the sticks on these things bend so easily? It's literally impossible to clean your ears without bending the sticks into a circle? Never had this issue before. The box says 'new look same quality', but I have to highly disagree. Kinda annoying after I ordered 2 boxes of 500 counts.
Why the change?

The new, weaker design is garbage. Recommend finding a new brand.
Poor quality. Cotton loose and come off.

The quality was poor that has no difference comparing to a no name brand. The cotton was loose and come off all the time.

We recently bought a box of Q-Tips and were horrified at the poor quality of them. Not sure if they value enginered them or not but the quality and amount of the cotton was inconsistent and usually not sufficient and the cardboard shaft was flimsy and bent very easily. We have been long time Q-Tip users and were happy to pay more for them as they WERE a quality product but now they seem to be no better than any of the other products on the market.

Iam 57 , I've never used any other ear swab ......QTip you raised the price like every other thing we buy , but you made QTip,s useless account you,s made them like a twist tie with a lint ball on the ends , they curl up as soon as you touch your ear besides such a small amount of cotton on the end,s ...hope it don't fall off and get stuck in your customers ear,s . I can't believe after 57 years I need to find a new cotton swab ....that sucks , corporate greed sucks to .. .shame on you .

Used to be that I insisted on qtips brand, because others had some swabs in each pack that barely had cotton coverage. Now qtips aren't much better...please go back to consistent cotton coverage.

I have found with the last box of qtips, which I’ve been using for over 50 years, Don’t have the same amount of cotton on the tips. However, the price has not gotten cheaper. Very disappointed!
Affordable!

I always use Q-Tips Cotton Swabs because they are soft and gentle on my ears. They are perfect for everyday use, whether for cleaning or touch-ups, and I love how high-quality and reliable they are.

These are the only qtips we like because they don't bend and fall apart!! The cotton is nice and thick on it and not falling off. Durable and absorbent as well.

No difference between this and dollar store ones. They use to be fluffy and soft , now they hurt your ears. Please go back to the older version.

Well packed and tightly wrapped sticks. The cotton isn’t loose and doesn’t have those tiny balls that fall off and make it all fuzzy. Helps clean up small crevices and keeps the outer ear clean as well.

I love Q-Tip cotton swabs! These help make my ears feel clean and dry after showers. They are cushiony and not uncomfortable in my ear like other Q-Tips. I would recommend for the price that these are!

I have used this product for decades.The Q-tips with the “new look” have less cotton on them and I have found some with one end without cotton. They are not as advertised on the package “same great quality”.

You might as well change marketing to tooth picks because your quality has clearly decreased yet not you’re prices… do better.
