Non-Sterile Cotton Tipped Applicators 6", 1000/Box

Have been using these for many years. Think of them as Q-tips all grown up. The long reach allows me to clean or lubricate delicate gears and such on small machinery. I find the cotton is tighter than the familiar blue-stick Q-tips that everyone uses. When finished, I cut the tip off and save the wooden stick in case I need something to mix those two part epoxy adhesives on the market. At the time of purchase, I paid $9.94 total for 1,000 in 10 bags of 100 each. I use the non sterile type for my usage but the sterile condition is also available for a higher price.

I would recommend this specific product to anyone out thee with a pet. My little dog's ears get dirty, and they are hard to keep the wax out of. So I purchased this item so I could clean her ears more easily. Works wonders. They come 10 in a bag, so you do not have to open all of them. Easy to keep on the vanity. Easy to dispose of. Just wonderful, don't know what I've done without them. I might find some other uses for them, maybe scrapes or something.

With 3 dogs, these are perfect for cleaning the outer ears. The quality is very good to excellent. I had these delivered to my home and they arrived USPS sooner than expected. Ten packs within a box.

Price and availability

Quality of product was great, unfortunately the product was packaged in qty's of 100 per bag not qty's of 2 per bag. I planned on using these for wound care. Two per package would have been perfect for keeping the applicators sterile. Packages of 100 are useless, once opened they are no longer sterile. I contacted the company asking for a exchange or return. It took Best Source Office Supplies more than a week to reply. Their response was... "We will try to reship the order. We'll send you an update if in case reshipment is confirmed." Unbelievable, they mess up the order by advertising with false pictures and false descriptions of the product and they respond by saying they will "TRY" and 'IF'
