I tried to cheap out and buy store brand qtips and they sucked (not enough cotton on end, very flimsy wand). Q-tips is the bomb! They've been around forever and there's a reason why; they are great not just for your ears but for so many other things.

duh. Who doesn't buy these. haha joking. seriously though I couldn't live without qtips in some capacity.. ears, makeup, cleaning jewelry, etc etc totally useful and always needed.

This is the only cotton swab I will ever buy! I have tried to go the cheaper way by buying no name and store brand Q-tips! Not a good experience at all! The Q-tip brand may be a little more pricey but it is so worth the money! They are so puffy and soft at the tip the quality is amazing! Q-tip cotton Swabs are the only cotton swabs that I would ever buy!

Nothing can compare to q tip brand ....any time I buy them it has to be that brand as it is strong and doesn't fall apart like the other leading brands .

No other brand can compare to Q Tips! They are firm and don't bend or real like cheaper brands do. A good buy and they have many uses for makeup and more.

I have been using Q-tips for most of my life. I would be lost without them. There are so many uses for these great little tools. I use them for touching up my makeup, cleaning up my manicure and pedicure edges, first aid to apply polysporin or hydrogen peroxide, cleaning in small, tight spaces to name a few.

My family has used Q-tips for as long as I can remember. Whether it was for cleaning wax out of our ears, putting on makeup(spot concealer and eyeshadow), cleaning a cut, putting ointment on a bug bite, cleaning plastic drinking straws, etc
Q-tips are a quality brand, they do not fuzz apart on your like some no-name brands do.

Over the years, I have used other cotton swabs but I always return to Q-tips. The familiarity of the brand is nice, but more importantly the quality is excellent- no tips falling off, being too pointy or breaking into little pieces.

I always thought there wasn't a difference between generic cotton swabs and the 'real' ones - Q-Tip. Well, there is!

Q-Tips definitely have softer cotton at the end (even thought they say you shouldn't be putting anything smaller than your elbow in your ear - I think most of us use these to clean our ears - so soft is a must in a delicate area); and stays together (other brands the cotton tends to let go and either fall off the stick or puff out) better than the other guys.

All in all, worth getting the actual Q-Tip brand for comfort and quality!

I love using Q-tips Cotton Swabs, it's good for makeup, cleaning your ears and other stuff. It's soft and very useful. I have been using this brand for many years, I won't use anything else.
