One thing age has taught me is that you don't buy cheap cotton swabs. All brands are referred to as q-tips for a reason, they work. Cheap ones and the cotton comes off in your ear, they bend too easily to get the job done, or actually breaks in half.

You getting downvotes but I'm going to agree with you here.

I'm sure you did what I did in the past -- and go cheap with cotton swabs, only to find out why quality matters on some things. Nothing worse than a weak swab that breaks under the slight pressure. Then you are forced to hold it closer to the cotton-end, to prevent breakage.

Let these others deal with that problem -- I'll gladly pay more for the good stuff.

There's now a 46 cent coupon on the product, making the subtotal $1.72 after 5% s&s.

In for them at around $2 after tax. Put me over the 5 item threshold to get 15% off on my S&S. So works for me! Thanks OP.

Dollar tree has 400ct. Can't say same quality but I've used them for a few years and they work fine for most uses.

Oh come on. It's what everyone uses these for. Also, if you're not using these to clean your ears, you're missing the daily train to mini-euphoria.

I think if you have never cleaned your ears, you should not start with these.
