Generic cotton swabs suck. They're all bendy. Especially in the summer when the humidity in our bathroom reaches rain forest levels. I find it unreasonably irritating to try to clean my ears with a buckling cotton swab. I buy cotton swabs about once a year. That means buying generic ones has saved me maybe two bucks a year. I'd rather spend the two dollars and get the Q-Tips.
Life is too short for generic cotton swabs. You heard that bit of life-changing profundity here first.

I agree with you. Plus they aren't as tightly produced so they shred more. Mary in MN
Me too. Some things it is okay to go generic but not Q Tips! Besides being "bendy", they have less cotton on the tip.
We got the generics once...the end came off in my ear.
Yup, my son also had the cotton end come off in his ear. We had to get the doctor to remove it ... painful and scary! I have only bought the real 'Q-tips' since.
Werd. I'll save that two bucks a year by ... I don't know, peeing off the back porch to save one flush per day or something.

Same experience here. I think each American has to buy generic swabs one time in life, and that's it. I wonder when we get to the last purchaser so the generics will disappear from existence?
I've found the same thing... Q-tips all the way!
