Cotton swab on one side only
Three purchases in a row now with this product and the same lack of quality in each. A majority of the cotton swabs only have cotton on one end, just the stick on the other. One would think that the quality control department or a in-process robotic visual inspection would catch these rejects before they made it into the packaging. Disappointed with my latest purchase once again.

Could you put more cotton on these sticks. Is there a world cotton shortage? Mabe if they were made in America instead of Turkey the quality would not be so poor. I hope your product could improve before I shop for a different brand. Or is Unilever the only supplier if cotton tip swabs in the world and wont care what the consumer feels about this type of product.

Bad quality
Just get the target brand for less price and more product because these have gone down hill. Barely any cotton and comes off easily.

Disappointed with new quality
Major quality decline. The cotton tips have less material than before, and the stick feels thinner. The cotton ends are uncomfortable to use, and the stick bends almost immediately. Not the same quality as they used to be.

Q-tips or Nothing! 5 Star
This is the only brand of cotton swabs my family buys. We prefer the cotton texture and paper sticks over the plasticized swabs. The cotton stays on the stick and doesn’t slide off like the plastic sticks of others. Great for the outside of ears, polish clean up and craft projects. Love them!

Decline in quality
The quality of QTIPS has drastically declined. I’ve been buying these for over fifty years and I’m so disappointed in a product that I use daily. What happened?

You guys changed
This used to be the only cotton swabs I bought because of the strong stick now they bend in your ear. Not good! I can buy the cheaper ones if they are going to just bend in my ear.

The OG
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Q-Tips are the OG cotton swab. They’re perfect at what they do and a household staple with hundreds of uses. I much prefer the standard swabs over the generic ones with the plastic sticks. These are far better for the environment and less likely to snap and poke you. The only downside is that my most recent box had several defective swabs that were missing one of the ends. I’m surprised because they typically have excellent quality.

Poor quality
"Q" might have stood for quality years ago, but not anymore. Quality does not seem to be the priority. My household has gone through 3 different 625 count boxes of Q-tips the past couple years and the quality of the Q-tips brand Q-tips are now no better than the Dollar General or Dollar store brand products. The cotton swabs are inconsistently made from one to another and have loose cotton, not enough cotton, too much cotton, it shreds or pulls away from the stick, and the sticks bend easily and are not as strong as they used to be even 5 years ago. My family has been using Q-tip brand Q-tips for over 100 years, but I can no longer justify spending extra money for these over cheaper off brand swabs.

Bathroom staple
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] A bathroom staple. So many different uses. Cleaning ears. Removing makeup and nail polish. Cleaning in hard to reach spots. Been using Q-tips all my life they hold up better than the store brands.
