I received a trial package of the precision tips with a large pack of regular Q-Tips. While I usually use regular Q-Tips for daily cleaning of my ears, I found myself using the precision tips for totally different purposes; mainly cleaning nooks and crannies around the house, and for the cleaning of our electronics (cameras, phones etc.). So, I would actually recommend them for the cleaning of electronics, or similar items, as it can get into smaller spaces than a regular Q-Tip can.

I think these Q-Tips are a niche product - great for makeup removal/touch-ups, but largely unnecessary in my world. I'll stick to the regular ones since they are generally less expensive for a larger box, and I've never really thought, "Oh man, if ONLY these had a pointier tip!"

I prefer the classic Q Tips but these definitely do work well. For makeup removal, cleansing, small lotion or spot application, and so much more. Q-Tips in general are a staple for my house but these are a little unique and can be handy. I'll stick to the classic ones for a better deal but these are still good.

These were actually very difficult for me to find! I went to several different Shoppers Drug Marts until I finally found it.

But now I have them, I think I will continue to buy them. These are great! Since they have a pointy tip, I feel less inclined to put them in my ears (a bad habit I have with the regular q-tips). The precision tips are great to clean in between your keyboard keys on your computer. You would be surprised by how much dirt you can find there!

I have used q-tips original for years. The q-tip is still soft, but it is direct to the point without smudging other areas, they work great and do what they are supposed to do!!!

Q-tips as the best ones to bye they are better than the no name ones and the tole on them don't come of .i use them for small jobs and ears.i love my q_tips

Nothing beats the Q-tip brand! I've tried many different cotton swabs from dollar store ones to everything inbetween for makeup and nail polish correction, and of course cleaning my ears (I know I know, not supposed to do that!!) and I always go back to the actual Q-tips!!

These Precision tips I actually use them to do my nails with they work great to get into the little crevices wear a regular puffy tipped Q-tip would not work

I love the idea of these. These pointy qtips are awesome for fixing makeup mistakes, like when you get mascara on your upper lids or fallout from your eyeshadow.

Sometimes you just have to stick with the brand name. Can you purchase this item cheaper? Yes. Will you suffer the cotton coming off, not being effective and the stick not being as firm? You betcha. I have used these for make-up, cleaning the hard to reach areas in the sink, the tiles, and a number of things you would never dream of... They are every mans staple. Yeah I said man. Cause he may not think of it but you will.
