Q-Tips Cotton Swabs, 500 ct (Pack of 2)

I only use Q-tip brand Q-tips. Other brands will actually have the cottons come off, and if you're scratching your inner ear, which I know I'm not supposed to, you don't want a stick without cotton. It's worth springing for Q-tip brand Q-tips. Just saying.

When I think of a cotton ear swab, I think Q-tip. I don't think of any other brand. I have used about all of them, and they are a waste of money. Q-tips don't gouge my ears with plastic, like other brands do. They have enough cotton to comfortably swab the ear without hurting your ear. Last year I bought an off brand and I was sorry. I didn't have much money, so I tried cutting corners and I didn't end up using them all. I just bought some more Q-tips. I buy them in bulk most times, to save money and have them stocked up. My doctor says my ears are clean and healthy. I have been using Q-tips since I was a young adult. I raised my son, cleaning his ears with them, too. You just have to know the right way to swab with them, so you don't push dirt further in, but rather, scoop it out, while being gentle. Then your hearing will last a life time. Also, I clean every few days, or my ears will dry out. My doctor says that is from over cleaning. It's tempting with comfortable Q-tips, but you must only do it a couple times a week, so not to dry your ears out. Love these. They are the best. You can also clean your appliances with them, when you can't get in tight spots.

I liked the convenience of the delivery until my orders started getting messed up/not delivered at all. Then you have to wait 2 weeks or more for your money to be returned.

I'm frustrated that I'm not able to find which item is scheduled to ship and it's going to cost $9.99 to ship it I do not want it and I can't find where in the app and I can't get the person on the check to figure it out and and cancel it so I do not want the item I'm not willing to pay $9.99 shipping for something that's less than that

They have reduced the amount of cotton on the tip by at least 25% to 50% . they have also changed the applicator wand to be very flimsy. I have been a loyal Q-Tip user for 5 decades and I learned that from my mom and now I have passed this down to 2 more generations, But at this point with the decline in product quality I might as well by off brands and save money
