For what it's worth, I find these to be perfectly acceptable substitutes for Q-tips. They're not quite the same, but I don't have any complaints.

I can't agree. Most things compared to generic, I have no qualms with but I can't use anything but Q-Tips.

But I ain't fighting anyone and it's a good price. Carry on everyone.

Anyone know why Amazon is forcing things like this to ship immediately instead of adding to a S&S monthly batch for tallying up a 15% discount?

Totally agree here. Do not skimp on q-tips. Not worth the generic brand to save a few bucks

For me it still gives the 15% off and the delivery date is the same as s&s. Maybe Amazon is testing different checkout flows for some users.

Have you tried Japanese cotton swaps from Daiso? So much better and cheaper than Q-tip.
Q-tip's paper sticks are just garbage. They bend at the lightest touch.
The cotton part is too thick and linty to clean anything. That's why Q-tip brand is not used in any medical settings, even first aid.

I find that for doing work cleaning electronics with rubbing alcohol, I absolutely hate the name brand ones. The extra cotton they claim is a good thing only ends up shredding and making a mess. I much prefer finding dollar store options with plastic sticks for that use case.

Good price, but quality isn't the greatest.
