Since Big lots is closing it was second to nearly impossible fighting q-tips with a wooden shaft. Not a fan of any other ones because I really like this stiffness of the wooden shafts. Prices at half bad but I love the packaging! 200 q-tips in each package and the small packaging absolutely love that! Will definitely be ordering again. Read more

These wooden cotton swabs are a game-changer! The bamboo sticks are surprisingly sturdy - no bending or breaking mid-use like plastic ones. The cotton tips are perfectly packed - not too fluffy and not too tight. I love that they're eco-friendly without sacrificing quality. 400 count is excellent value, and they come neatly packaged. Whether for makeup touch-ups, cleaning small spaces, or general use, these have become my go-to. Highly recommend for anyone looking to make a small but impactful switch to more sustainable products!

The advantages of this product start with the obvious one - a wood rather than plastic core, nice packaging and tightly wound cotton tufts. The swabs evidence great quality overall. My only complaint, and it is one that is common to various other wooden swabs, is that the manufacturer uses bamboo for the core rather than tree wood. I find bamboo to be more variable in quality than whole wood product from trees. With bamboo, you can use 5 swabs in a row that are nice and sturdy but then you will come across 3 that break under even the slightest pressure. CAUTION: One down-side to any wood core ear swab is that you must not use them on babies or anyone else where an innocent slip while using the swab, or inadvertent, pressure could injure the person's ear. I suspect that it is no accident that domestic swab manufacturers have all gone to soft flexible plastic cores for safety reasons. Read more

A main point I look for in any of these products is whether the stick Doesn’t bend doesn’t break just stay in one piece. I tried a brand Isshah and they broke. I tried harbor freight version and they snapped. Q-tips bend, Q-tip wannabes disintegrate on touch. But these stay strong. As bamboo should. Read more

I use these everyday after my shower to clean behind ears or the inner ear parts my towel can’t reach properly. I also use these to clean my nostrils. Unlike Q-tips, these don’t leave any cotton wool in my ears nor nose. Haha.. best quality cotton swabs. Read more

OK, wooden sticks are better than paper sticks, but most of these wooden sticks are as bad as the paper ones in terms of breaking at the slightest pressure. Maybe the attorneys made them do this? Why else would they use balsa wood sticks - or whatever it is they use that breaks so easily? Read more
