I LoVE THESETHINGS!
Okay, I know and have heard it a thousand times "don't put them in your ears."

But I love doing it. It feels so awesome and clean and personal.

Now there is one issue to really be careful about, and that is this: I used to surf alot,
and all of a sudden I started to feel like I had water in my ears all the time.

It was so bad that I went to a doctor to check up on it. He told me that I had
scraped away all the protective wax inside my ear canal, and that's why my ears
were getting saturated with water. He advised me to back off on the amount of
times I used the qtips inside my ears. I did, and the condition went away, and
everything returned to normal, which it still is to this day many years later.

The key is that you can't use them in your ears too often, or else you scrape away
the way. I AM NOT ADVISING ANYONE TO STICK THESE IN THEIR EARS!!!
BUT, if you do it, don't do it too much.

Great product for a zillion years...
There's a reason why these guys have been around for years.Their quality and price have made them the best value there is for cotton swabs.They do the job, however interesting that that may be, and come back for more.They're indispensable if you have a baby or young children, but they grow with you into adulthood as well.There's some things you shouldn't buy the generic and this is one of them.They've been around for years and for good reason - they're great!

Gettin' on the 'tip...
Good God-- you know you've hit the bottom of the barrel as an Amazon customer reviewer when you're inspired to write a review for Q-Tips ! In my case, the inspiration struck during my last trip to the can... which was just a short while ago as of this writing, BTW. Yep, I was just sittin' there doin' my... er, thing... when I noticed the blue box of double-tipped cotton swaps peekin' out of the far corner of the medicine cabinet. I stared at the thing for a good ten seconds, all the while thinkin' about what I'd say about the product. After mappin' it all out I got my business over with, washed my hands, and rushed to my word processor to type up the following commentary:

While just about everybody have discovered the earwax removing properties ofQ-Tips (don't forget to observe the "Don't go into the ear canal" rule, please), I've also found them useful for forcing sneezes to help clear out a runny nose & stuffed-up sinuses. And yes, I am aware that I'm likely risking some kind of physical damage by doin' this, which is why I recommend you NOT try it! The last thing I need is to be sued by some yutz who tried to get himself to sneeze with a Q-Tip and hurt himself!

With the assistance of rubbing alcohol, Q-Tips are also pretty good for cleanin' out an "innie" (a rubbing alcohol-covered cotton ball would be a better option if your "innie" is particularly cavernous), removing collected food & dandruff deposits from those hard-to-reach recesses of a computer keyboard, and gettin' those last few specks of crud off the rollers inside a computer mouse. Please note, however, that rubbing alcohol gradually dissolves the stuff that holds the cotton to the swab stick, so you'd better have a decent handful at the ready for those extensive computer peripheral cleanups...

A MULTI-PURPOSE LITTLE COTTON SWAB...
If one wants cotton swabs that are made with a hundred percent pure cotton and have more soft cotton at the tip than any other brand, then this is the cotton swab one wants. With five hundred of these little things at one's disposal, they will last for a considerable length of time.

These cotton swabs are ideal for a number of uses. While the most common and popular use consists of sticking it in one's ears and giving the Q-tip a twirl in an attempt to clean them, one should be mindful that they are not designed to enter one's ear canal. In fact , the manufacturer cautions the buyer to only gently swab around the outer surface of the ears, if the swabs are used to clean ears.

Still,there are many other uses. In my household, these cotton swabs are often used for applying eye shadow, as well. I also used it when polishing furniture. If one has furniture that has carving, which is notorious for attracting dust and dirt in tight spots, dipping these handy, dandy little cotton swabs in lemon oil and then applying the soaked swab to those pesky little nooks and crannies, inherent in any carved piece, will remove that otherwise hard to reach dust, dirt, and grime.

Anyway, at this price one should not hesitate to buy these multi-purpose cotton swabs, as they are a good value and guaranteed to give the buyer a lot of bang for one's buck.

An audiophile archaelogist's dream
Truly, these q-tips have to be one of the greatest wonders of the 20th century. You just stick it in the ear and dig through, much like the special drilling machines dug their way to make the Chunnelbetween France and England. The tips are soft and the sticks are flexible allowing for extra precision when you can't quite reach for the holy of holies. Expereinced users have been known to derive much pleasure out of these tips and even excavated so much cerumen as that it was able to determine their age by the color graduations. They surely are superior to the arms of your eyeglasses' frame or your trusty old Black & Decker drill. Only trouble is, when your wife will ask you to take out the garbage, set the table or perform one of countless chores that wives want their husbands to do, you won't be able to say "What?!!!?...I can't hear you" anymore. So hide these form the old Missus ... Read more

For outer ear cleaning, and many, many other things
Q-Tips have been around for as long as I can remember. They were designed for cleaning the OUTER surfaces of the ear, and are not to be used to clean the ear canal.


*imagines ear drum being punctured during a sneeze while misusing a Q-Tip to clean the ear canal*


Whatever they were designed for, Q-Tips have probably been used in dozens, if not hundreds, of other ways. They are ideal for cleaning any small area. One example: add a few drops of lighter fluid, and you can clean out the tracks of sliding windows. I've tried several other cotton swab brands, but they just don't hold up as well.I had said cleaning any small area, but, of course, I meant any small area EXCEPT the ear canal.

These are great for when you're less than a dollar short of free shipping.

Silky and Soft
I am a big fan of the Q-tip brand Q-tip. The cotton is softer and more pliable then most other companies. However, it should be noted, that like all Q-tips this model also suffers from a lack of stiffness in the stem. Remember - don't pierce your brain! Keep the Q-tips out of your ear canal! ...

Great product, better than a generic
There are some things you shouldn't buy a generic for and this is one of them.They are just larger and more softer than the off brands out there and when you need a larger piece of cotton, you really can't beat these.I've used them for everything over the years and you really have to have them for a baby.I'm glad to have found them and when you really go out and compare, there really isn't any comparison.

a million uses and counting
Great for applying antibiotic ointment or calamine lotion to sooth mosquito bites, etc. Great for removing makeup or using to remove nail polish from your nails. You can't beat 100% cotton! ... Read more

More effective than cotton balls
For makeup removal these are the best. They
don't fray all over the place and leave bits
of cotton on your face or near your eyes. Which
can be a killer if you have contact lenses, etc.

Soft little luxurious cotton pads to sweep that
makeup right off your face.

An essential of life.

I thought these cotton pads were great! I was surprised that they were so soft and yet strong. My German shepherd dog had an ear infection and those big ears of hers had to be cleaned with solution and cotton before I could put the ear drops in. These pads were just great for the job! I'll now need to order some more for myself!

Great product, multi-use. Works well for putting on and taking off makeup and nail polish. Even used one as a makeshift gauze beneath a bandage. Inexpensive enough to use and toss and tough enough to reuse if needed. Would recommend for anyone who wears makeup daily.

I really like the fact that they are lint-free (compared to regular cotton) and are very absorbent. Compared to the regular sized cotton balls, they're wonderful. But, I still like the feel of the jumbo sized cotton balls better than these. I haven't had a chance to use them yet for removing polish, but I'm willing to bet that they work better than just about anything (because of the lint factor). I'd recommend these to a friend if they didn't like regular cotton balls.

Doctors & Nurses know best!
Due to having knee surgery recently, I've had to buy more bandages than ever before -- knee size for large incisions, and normal size for the arthroscopy portals. When you have to keep dressing six wounds on your knee daily, you become something of a bandage connoisseur. You become a bandage FREAK when your surgeon tells you to switch bandage brands due to a developing infection!

These Band-Aid Sheer Adhesive Bandages are the bandages used in hospitals and doctor's offices everywhere, and there's a good reason -- they're the best. They're thin, breathable, they stick well to skin even on joints such as the knee, and the gauze pad in them doesn't stick to your wound.

I thought I knew best when I purchased a different bandage brand, but there's a reason when we all get cuts or scrapes, we ask, "May I have a Band-Aid, please?"

Great for a clutzy guy like me!
I can't even begin to tell you how many band-aids I go through in a week. Just since this morning I've badly cut myself twice. First I hit my thumb with a hammer while I was building a new "fort" for my pet squirrels Moe, Larry, and Curly.

Later on I sliced up my arm when I used my sister's chain saw to sculpt a wooden statue of Pat Sajak. I'm hoping to be on Wheel Of Fortune someday and I want to give the statue to Pat as a gift.

Anyway, in both cases where I badly injured myself today, Band-Aid bandages were there to help me out! They stopped the bleeding real good and hardly any of my blood got on my carpet.

I don't care what my friends say. Scotch-tape does NOT work on cuts as well as Band-Aid bandages do! I always keep them around for emergencies and you should, too.

P.S. - Keep an eye out for me on Wheel Of Fortune. I'll be the one with a wooden statue of Pat Sajak. I'll probably also be wearing at least one band-aid at the time.

May stick TOO well ...
These are fine for those cuts you may get once in awhile.
Only negative thing I can say is that it sticks on too
well.I had a burn I needed to keep covered.I used a new bandage everyday for a week and I was left with bandage marks.
So these would not be good to use for more than a day or two.
Good Price for this Brand.

Good basic patches
I think the best patch really depends on who is using it.For my daughter, she is allergic to some forms and others stick so well that they pull skin off when we remove the patch.We have used this brand for 2 years and have had no problems.There are some with more interesting designs (i.e. artistic), but these work well, especially for small children. ...

It's a great idea for anyone to buy these. They're perfect for all sorts of little jobs. We've been using them for bug bites and little scratches. They're perfect for the diaper bag and purse. We leave some in our car, some in the medicine box, and even some at our property in the country. They're great for traveling -- you can take them camping, hiking, the beach -- anywhere you might need a little alcohol for a small cut or bite. They're definitely a bargain. You get a lot for your money with this product.

These are great to keep on hand with small children. I used them to clean small scrapes and cuts on the go. They're individually wrapped for easy use when you're out or to place in a first aid kit.

I think the Curity Alcohol Swabs are a great product. They were easy to use to clean cuts and scrapes on a screaming three-year-old. I also found them convenient for sticking a few in my purse and diaper bag for cuts that occur when we're away from home. I also restocked all my first-aid kits with these. Overall, I'd definitely recommend this product to family and friends.

For those of you who use a cotton ball or an old cloth and have tried to pour alcohol on it -- only to find it runs down on everything, this is the solution. Plus, after seeing the articles on TV about the bacteria on a cloth, why do we bother with adding more bacteria? Which only helps the cut or scrap stay infected longer or not heal as quickly? Not only are the Curity Alcohol Swaps sterile, they're easy to use.

I found the individual packets great for all sorts of different uses. I put some in each of our cars, the garage with the mowing equipment, and the bathroom. My husband used them for cleaning electronics. I used them for the multiple cat scratches I get from our six cats. My mother used them after mowing. We found them very useful -- especially since they're individually wrapped. ... Read more
