How do these compare to Equate from Walmart that are $2.18 per 500 count? Better quality?

2 years back, it was call something else and it was softer than the qtip brand. Recently my wife got the qtip brand again and it was like knife into the ears

These are a little better but no where near as good 2 years ago. I would say 30% better than qtip brand for cheaper

5% off on cotton swabs- clear my schedule, this is too big to be distracted by anything else.

In before the cancelations.

Call me a weirdo but just the thought of some generic brand q-tip in my ear is the same vibe as fingernails on a chalkboard. 😂

This is hardly a deal. Saving pennies off of the normal price. I bought these 3 weeks ago for $2.63.

The most recent Q-tips I bought are flimsy wet noodles compared to what they used to be. Not buying Q-tip brand again until I can positively confirm they fixed the quality. Will buy other brands.

Bought for $2.66 + tax in September. They are very decent though.

Thanks. I use these to clean up excess flux before using IPA and scrubbing. No sense in using good swabs.

I've been using the gigantic Costco pack for the last couple of years. I'm almost out. If the quality of Q-tips went down, I'll be so sad not to mention being stuck with like 5000 Q-tips that I don't want to use.

Let us know. I hope they switched back, but I'm not going to be the guinea pig. I have a couple thousand of the wet noodle ones.
