Q-Tips Cotton Swabs, 170 count

This small box of Qtips fits in my nightstand drawer and is perfect when space is limited. This small box is getting harder to find.

I am extremely annoyed that a trusted company has given up on quality to save some money. I have been a long time customer and have noticed the change. The cotton swab is not as full and the sticks are very weak. I have tried store brand cotton swabs in the past to save money, but the quality of them was terrible. Unfortunately, now the Qtip brand is no better than your competitors. Personally, I would have preferred to pay more for the original quality than have the product altered to a flimsy product. At this rate, I might as well purchase the competitor brand to save money.

I can't believe you guys dropped your quality expectations so low! Q-Tip has always been my family's go-to cotton swab. This last box I bought feels just like a cheap knock-off. While trying to clean my ears, the stick bends and does a horrible job. PLEASE bring your product back to the top-quality it had been for decades! I knew you cut back the cotton portion some time ago and that was one thing, but to make the stick so flimsy is such an immense disappointment.

Terrible quality-- can no longer justify the q-tip brand over other products. There have been some products where I am brand loyal and q-tip was at the top of the list. Over the last year the quality of qtips has been terrible- flimsy, comes apart easily, wound loosely instead of a reliably wound bud that would not unravel. I don't even know where to begin, but I can say that the quality is on par with knock-off brands. I can't even tell the difference between qtip and store brand at this point. Disappointing. If I took time out of my day to write a review about this, it must be a pretty big change in quality.

you're170 count q-tips for $7.00 nothing special! I just hit an expensive one I guess!? Also had to wait 5 days to get them. There is a different one that has more for less that came the same day for $4.00. Watch what you're buying and getting charged for on all your items ppl!!!

I have used Q-tips all my life. But recently the quality of the product has slipped. The amount of cotton at each end of the swab has been reduced so much the swab is no longer absorbent, and the stick is too flexible. Why the heck did you change a good product??? Guess I need to find another brand😫!

I have always used Qtip swabs I am 73 and loved them. BUT.... the quality of the swab stick now is FLIMSY! I cannot use it in the many ways I used to. Even after showering and wiping out ears the swab folds in half. EXTREMELY disappointed in the DROP IN QUALITY. Go back and fix the swabs to their original strength.

Horrible. You know it's bad when you are online a review about cotton swabs! I am not sure what has happened to the quality of Qtips swabs but this ain't it. Barely any cotton the sticks. These swabs look mal-nutritioned. At this point, you are just gearing yourself for a lawsuit when someone injures themselves with a poorly manufactured swab. Using these sticks is tantamount to shoving something sharp around your ear canal.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Q-tips are one of those simple things I always keep stocked around the house. They are incredibly versatile from cleaning small spaces and touching up craft projects tool applying ointment and make up. I love them for makeup application and touchups, especially when I need to clean up eyeliner or apply products with a little more precision the cotton stay securely on the stick. They are soft and they don't fall apart easily like some cheaper brands, I would definitely recommend.

I am writing to express my disappointment in your product. The quality of the product - Q-tip- is horrible. I cannot use a Q-tip without it bending, and the cotton tip is smaller. I have used your brand (original cardboard kind) my whole life because they were good quality until now. I understand companies are cutting back to save money (despite price not going down) but this will cause me to now try another brand. Very disappointed and dissatisfied in your product.
