    • Soft, yet Sturdy
Size: 500 Count (Pack of 1)
I generally don't buy generic Q-Tips because they are flimsy, don't hold their shape and can be painful. These were a "suggested" purchase on my home page, so I thought for a couple bucks and some change, I would give them a try. I was pleasantly surprised! The stick itself is made of several layers of plastic so they hold their shape well and do not bend when using them. The cotton tips are wound tightly as well, but they are soft, yet able to dig around in your ear to get as much wax as possible. I will continue to purchase these, moving forward. I would recommend these to family, friends and others. ... show more

    • Excellent quality at a great price
Size: 500 Count (Pack of 4)
Great price and comparable to name brand swabs. Paper sick, and plenty of padding on the ends. These will last a long time, but I’ll definitely buy these again

    • My Go‑To Cotton Swabs
Size: 500 Count (Pack of 1)
These are great — simple, reliable Q‑tips that do exactly what they’re supposed to do. They’re soft, sturdy, and useful for everything from makeup to cleaning small spaces. Nothing fancy, just a solid everyday essential that works well.

    • Multi-purpose durable Q-TIPS... better than name brand!!

A "must have" in every household! These Q-tips far surpass name brand or the dollar store! We all need to clean our ears but they serve multiple purposes. I personally use them for the ears and to clean up running mascara after applying or when I need to clean a smudge off of my face (so I don't have to actually touch it if not by a sink). I have repurchased these multiple times and definitely always will. The cotton is thick and doesn't fall off easily or fluff off (if you get the drift). Highly recommend to everyone 👍 They are white sticks with the cotton in an oval/round shape (I've taken photos for reference). 500 count in each box lasts a long time and is an excellent value for the price. ... show more

    • Good Enough to get the job done.
Size: 500 Count (Pack of 1)
These are good enough. I’m used to the name brand Q-tip. So I’m used to more cushion in my ears. These absorbs a reasonable amount of water. Because they are not as thick as I’m used to I have to use 3 per ear as apposed to 2. So. Don’t really save money. They are a good normal size. I think they would be good for crafts not being to soft. I suspect if I used makeup they could be helpful in application processes. They do stay together well. Some off Brands I bought in the past were horrible quality. But these are good enough. Could be cushier. But that is what it is. ... show more

They do the deed. I clean my ears with them and they are soft. The stick is sturdy too. Even my pets let me clean their ears with them.

    • Great alternative to popular brand
Size: 500 Count (Pack of 4)
I bought these cotton swabs on a whim because I ran out and forgot to grab them when I went to Costco in the morning. But to my surprise I almost couldn’t tell the difference in quality with the popular name branded swab. The swabs are lint free and well made, leaving no lint when using it for multiple purposes. I e only used it for a few days but I will definitely purchase again in the future. ... show more
