I use these a lot for many things besides my ears. I clean keyboards and touch up my nails with them to remove polish I get around the nail.

I came across a vintage Q-tip package that my grandmother had in her dresser. Can you believe they used to come on wooden sticks and had twice the amount of cotton on the swab. It's amazing how much better made these were in the past. HEY Q-TIP people go back to the old ways those wooden q-tips with an abundance of cotton on the end are the best cleaning q-tips ever. OH and bonus they don't bend! They sure don't make things like they used to.

This q tip is good quality not like the dollar store brand. I use it for cleaning the computer fan. Anyway good deal if you can find it on sale, otherwise it's too much to pay reg price

I like Qtips BUTTTT the amount of cotton has diminished over the years so that is why gets fugeddaboutit Still works okay for bellybuttons and ears but you have to be extra careful because of the diminished cotton.

I find them relatively expensive as compared to the generic brands. Also, I find them to be inconsistent in the sizes of the tips. There are definitely a lot of uses for q-tips but do not use them for your ears!

They work good but push wax more in the ear. Good for removing make up though and nail polish :)

In the past I would never consider purchasing any other brand of cotton swab, which, let's face it, meant buying a generic brand. I happily paid premium prices for a quality product. Except that the last two boxes I have purchased have been well below quality standards, often with several swabs missing cotton completely. I switched to the Shoppers' Life Brand and in the first box have not yet found one swab will a missing end.

We found that the size if the cotton swabs are too big to use it on ears, and some of them are too thin,the cottons are not evenly wrap.
