Amazon Essentials Cotton Swabs, 500 Count (Previously Amazon Basics)

These cotton swabs are soft, sturdy, and work very well for everyday use. The cotton tips stay in place and don’t fall apart easily. They’re good for cleaning, makeup, and small household tasks. The pack is convenient and a great value for the price. I’m very satisfied and would buy them again.

A "must have" in every household! These Q-tips far surpass name brand or the dollar store! We all need to clean our ears but they serve multiple purposes. I personally use them for the ears and to clean up running mascara after applying or when I need to clean a smudge off of my face (so I don't have to actually touch it if not by a sink). I have repurchased these multiple times and definitely always will. The cotton is thick and doesn't fall off easily or fluff off (if you get the drift). Highly recommend to everyone 👍 They are white sticks with the cotton in an oval/round shape (I've taken photos for reference). 500 count in each box lasts a long time and is an excellent value for the price.

Great price and comparable to name brand swabs. Paper sick, and plenty of padding on the ends. These will last a long time, but I’ll definitely buy these again

I bought this package of 500 swabs and they really surprised me a lot. They have an ideal size and a classic shape very comfortable to use, with well-rounded and firm tips.The color is completely white and impeccable. I really liked the cotton content, since it shows that it is 100% pure, super soft but at the same time quite compact. The adhesion of the cotton to the support is excellent (they do not come off at all), and best of all is that they are truly free of lint, so they do not leave residue on the skin or when cleaning small objects.They perform a lot and the price is great. Totally recommended!

These are good enough. I’m used to the name brand Q-tip. So I’m used to more cushion in my ears. These absorbs a reasonable amount of water. Because they are not as thick as I’m used to I have to use 3 per ear as apposed to 2. So. Don’t really save money. They are a good normal size. I think they would be good for crafts not being to soft. I suspect if I used makeup they could be helpful in application processes. They do stay together well. Some off Brands I bought in the past were horrible quality. But these are good enough. Could be cushier. But that is what it is.

These Amazon Basics double-tipped cotton swabs are great and do exactly what they’re supposed to do! The cotton tips work well and I haven’t noticed any reason to spend extra money on name-brand Q-tips. They’re simple, affordable, and get the job done. Definitely a great option if you’re looking to save a little money without sacrificing quality. I’ll happily keep buying these!

That’s good quality and great value for money. My dog has continuous ear infections and I need to clean them daily and she’s definitely the most comfortable with these. They’re very good at how adhesive they are but also soft at the same time my fur baby approves. Lol.

I can say that the price was great, a fraction of what you might pay at a "big box" store. That makes them a fantastic value. They are equal in quality to the traditional "blue box" that' been around forever, and they might be a little better, and here's is why...The last time I bought the name brand several of the packages had moth's or larvae sealed inside the box, I didn't even have to open them to see what had been sealed inside prior to shipping. The Amazon brand is made right here, perhaps the quality standards are higher than those shipped from somewhere else...Consider that when buying a personal hygiene item for you or you family. I use these for the purpose intended but I also use them to clean my keyboards, around the base of the faucets, to apply medication to my pets with the confidence that they are safe and sanitary. I use them to dust my plants, the top and underneath the leaves as well. They are gentle enough that they won't scratch or damage your plants, especially the delicate orchids, and jades that don't like to be fussed with.

The price of this package of cotton swabs is always less than that of any other package at local pharmacies. And the stick of these swabs is made of paper which makes the product much more sustainable than the plastic ones. Remember to use them safely and only in the more external part of the ear canal. Never insert them more than that.

Cotton stays on and doesn't come off when being used. I find these are just as good as Qtips if not better.
