1.0 out of 5 starsQ Tips Have Changed! Far Less Cotton
By G.B. R. on December 16, 2011
Size: 1 Pack
Sometime in the past year (or so) Q-Tips dramatically changed the amount of cotton on its swabs.

They have probably 1/3 to 1/2 the amount they did previously. I used to be able to 'twirl' a tip counterclockwise against a terry towel to "puff it up" and get more absorbancy. Not any more.

These have definitely changed into a second-rate swab, and everyone in my family noticed it in our most recent 500-pack.

Shame on Unilever!

The New Condensed Q-Tip --- just god-awful!!!

I agree with another reviewer.... shame on you Qtips!!!
Just imagine all the Hollywood make-up folk... running all over the land to now find new DECENT swabs!!!! oh my god --- are you out of your mind Qtips?!??!!

I just called J&J and expressed my disappointment and angst; my $4.09 refund is on it's way. EVERYBODY else SHOULD DO the same!
Use the ph# on the back of the box, can't put it here.

.... with the 5 I have left ---- antiques roadshow here I come!

==================
UPDATE:
For those, as I, still filled with angst.... I'm picking up a pkg of these:
**Royal Wood Stick Cotton Swabs 1 Box - 300 Count ($7.98+freeShip)**
...found here on amazon. A little pricey but what I want and am willing to pay.
Double-sided cotton tips and WOOD sticks w/decent reviews... anything has got to be better than these. Too bad Qtips, 50+ yrs, it was nice... but I have to go now.

1.0 out of 5 starsQ-Tips
By Amazon Customer on August 6, 2012
Size: 1 Pack
I am glad I found you guys. I opened by Q-Tips today and thought I was crazy. I thought there was a mistake, this could not be q-tips, did I get the wrong package? I put them from the box in a container so I dug around and found the box in case I made a mistake and I hadn't. Then, I found an old Q-Tip in my travel bag and sure enough, the new ones are like cheesy, stinky, generic but I paid brand name price! My mom used Q-Tip before me and I have bought them myself for 30 years and they were a non-negotiable item as far as cutting corners. Had to have the brand! I really feel let down and I am so glad I am not alone! I sent a note to the company but only after reading your comments. Don't know if it will help.

1.0 out of 5 starsTerrible!
By MyPenName TOP 500 REVIEWERVINE VOICE on October 6, 2011
Size: 1 Pack Verified Purchase
The cotton on these unravels every single time I use them! I didn't have any troubles with the stick bending etc, but the cotton issue is terrible!! I bought these since they were on sale so cheap - 2 bucks - but now I regret it.

I usually buy generic ones at the Dollar Tree, for a dollar of course, and those work perfectly well and NEVER unravel on me. I figured for the price, I'd buy these QTip brand, but boy was that a mistake. I can't even believe these things are so poor in quality, but yet the price is premium. Ripoff.

1.0 out of 5 starsNot Happy
By Patti E. Ursulak on October 4, 2005
Size: 1 Pack
I unfortunately have to tell you that I am not happy with your product, I have been purchasing Q-tips for 40 years and use to love them, I now find that the stick is to flexible and there is not enough cotton on the tips, that they are extremely uncomfortable. even my children and husband have complained non-stop with this last box of Q-tips I recently purchased. I do hope that you will go back making them the way you used to make them.

A very unhappy customers. Patti Ursulak

I used to love Q-Tips brand because they were sturdy and got the job done, now they are limp and cheap like their worst competitor, I will save my money and buy the best quality of the cheap ones.

1.0 out of 5 starsWhere's the cotton?
By NY blues guitar fan on June 15, 2013

Q tips now have less cotton than ever on them. Don't stick them in your ears, it's not safe anymore.

2.0 out of 5 starsQ-Tips not what they were
By Doc J on June 5, 2012
Size: 1 Pack Verified Purchase
Alas I concur with many other reviewers. I got some cheap generic swabs from the drugstore that were just awful. Barely enough cotton on the ends to look like a swab, let alone clean anything. So I sprung for a package of 'real' Q-Tips.

Turns out the name-brand is only SLIGHTLY better than the generics. Does anybody know of a company that makes quality Q-Tips any more? These are not worth buying, I'm sad to say.
