I have been using Q-tips Cotton Swabs for years. I started out using them to clean my ears, until I learned that this is a big no-no. They are great for make-up purposes, especially correction of application mistakes. I have tried other, cheaper cotton swabs, but none are as plump as Q-tips and I am always disappointed.

Great multi purpose tool - I've used it to clean up nail polish, fix make up mistakes, soften eye shadow and sometimes as a cleaning tool for little objects!

I have used these since childhood and so far haven't found anything better. These swabs don't 'fuzz out' either during storage outside original box (e.g. in makeup case) or during use. The 'stem' is firm and doesn't flex or break as they do for cheaper brands. I do feel that they are less puffy/padded than they used to be, so unfortunately seem to be getting similar to other lower quality brands (e.g. store brands). Hopefully they improve again, or at the very least don't get worse.

Preferred cotton swab brand. Effective for small make-up mishaps, cleaning hard to reach places. Applying lotions and topical creams. Multi functional beauty product.

These Q-tips are better than the cheap ones that you can get at Dollarama or Dollar Tree. They seem to be more absorbent and have more of a cotton tip. For any make-up or application of a small quantity of cream or ointment, I would recommend these.

I use Q-Tips for everything from cleaning to fixing makeup smudges. I've tried the cheap no-name brands and I always come back to the real thing. They stay tightly wrapped, no bits of cotton unraveling and they are just the right amount of absorbent for when you add a bit of water . I wouldn't use any other brand now.

I being using this brand since i was a kid, the only brand I use and the only one I trust my kids to use, what else can be added? the best quality, they are super soft and is my favorite tool when doing my makeup.

They do the job! These cotton swabs hold up better than the value brands. Best when bought on sale as regular price can sometimes be more than its worth.

Works on so much more than just your ears! Total must have, I use many per day. What use you got that stands up to Q-tips? That's right nothing! Price is a little higher but they know what they are doing, the knock off kind do not live up!

Q tips are the best brand of cotton swab! My husband won't settle for substitutes. The sticks are strong the cotton is soft, the boxes are big and I think they are a quality product for a fair price. Highly recommended.
