Q-tips Cotton Swabs, Club Pack 625 ct

What can I say? They are the standard Q-tips I have been using for the last don't-know-how-many years. They rock! The great thing about these is that you get the three packages in one shipment: a total of 1875 Q-tips, that way you have the option to use up to 4 Q-tips per day for 468.75 days before you run out. The thing I love about these is that they are very sturdy, compared to pretty much any knock-off. The central stick is made of rolled up paper (biodegradeable), and the tips are covered in soft cotton. I think over the last decade of sticking to this brand, I've had maybe 2 cotton tips fall off or partially detach: this is something to consider, as we typically use the Q-tips to clean the ear canal (even though we're not supposed to, people!) and don't want something to get stuck up in there. While the Q-tips are by no means a sterile product, they are indeed clean enough to use for a variety of tasks such as fine product application on the body (cleaning piercings, topical medication application) and, what I use them mostly for, makeup. I have found that the Q-tips don't really get the frayed fibers during makeup application like some of the other brands, and something about the way the soft cotton is arranged on the ends makes it easy to apply and remove things like eyeshadow and concealer. The number of Q-tips in this package is just perfect at the price you are paying (though it is an add on item), which is a bonus. I found that these Q-tips I ordered from Amazon are exactly the same quality as the ones I typically bought at Costco or Target--no difference whatsoever, except for the price, of course, and would recommend this online alternative to purchasing a product you are no doubt already buying to anyone.
