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

I just got a box of 750 and the first time I used them, I noticed there wasn’t as much cotton of the ends and I could feel the hard stem. I hope they restore hem to original softness as these hurt.

The cotton tips are soft and well-packed, making them gentle on the skin. They are highly effective for multiple uses, whether it’s cleaning, applying makeup, or even small household tasks. The box is practical and holds 300 swabs, making it a good value. Made from 100% pure cotton, they feel high quality and safe for various uses. These swabs don’t have any noticeable scent, which is great for those who are sensitive to fragrances.
Dramatic Quality Decline

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 bought my annual supply of QTips & I have found your product's tip to be poorly wrapped w/cotton which causes painful experiences. Sad that your Corporation lessens your product quality to make bigger profits!

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!

I used to love Qtips. Nothing else compared to them. Use them everyday on different things. But I just bought a box & they are horrible. They're like the no name ones now. The sticks aren't as hard anymore. They bent like the knockoffs ones. And they don't have as much cotton on the end anymore. They're garbage!! I could've bought the no name ones & saved myself a couple bucks & got the same quality. I don't know what I'm going to use now!!!! I'm not happy...they're just Qtips. Why couldn't you just leave them alone?!?!
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.

I Love Q-Tips and have only purchased this brand (Q-Tips) for as long as I can remember and I am 54 years old, it's been a generational thing in my family :) However, in the last 6-8 months approximately, whenever it was when they redesigned the box they come in, I have found many of them have a quite thicker then normal end and on another, barely any cotton at all.. I will continue to buy them, in hopes that it will correct itself.. :) The thicker ones don't fit in my ear lol

I love q-tips sp much. I know you're not supposed to use them in your ears but it feels so good and is so satisfying. I also use them to adjust and clean up my makeup. They workextremely well for this.

Q tip has changed their swabs, they now have less cotton on the tip and the sticks are now so flimsy they practically fold in have while you are using them. Q-tips used to be best but now are the worst . Won’t be buying them anymore

Seeking perfect one piece - 2 months ago, Verified purchaser
I’ve been buying this brand for years and the one I just ordered (Jan 2025) is obviously a much poorer quality. The brand is clearly trying to save money by not using as much material or as strong a material on the stick part of the Q tip. It bends and folds at the slightest touch, making it nearly impossible to actually clean an ear bc it is too soft. I won’t be buying this brand again.

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!
