Incognito Q-Tip (It's as good as the name brand!)
It may be strange to review a cotton swab, but I had to.I was placing an order for a few things that I needed but my total was a little under the amount necessary for same day delivery. I needed Q-Tips but they didn't qualify and the Amazon Basics cotton swabs did.I've previously purchased a few items under the Amazon Basics brand and I haven't had any issues with it, so I added these to my cart.I use cotton swabs not just for personal hygiene, but for cleaning and art projects also. I'm very funny about which home brands that I purchase. Some are not worth saving a few pennies over. I generally only purchase the name brand Q-Tip, or the Rite Aid home brand if I'm desperate to stick to a budget because any time I've tried to save a few bucks and bought a different brand, those have been utter trash that bend and break and barely have any substance to them.I expected the Amazon Basics cotton swabs to be like those from the Dollar Tree and super flimsy, but they weren't like that at all. These are quite good actually. They are just as good as the name brand Q-Tip. I was so impressed with them that I spent over five minutes trying to get the perfect photo of a cotton swab that I could share with the world.In my photos, the name brand Q-Tip is on the right, and the Amazon Basics cotton swab is on the left.They don't just look similar, they are similar, in both quality and stability, and so much so that I think that the Amazon Basics cotton swab just may be a Q-Tip in disguise. This is definitely a five star product. (* edit: the video was to demonstrate the quality. The cotton swab was unused. I thought about that after I submitted my review.*)

4.0 out of 5 stars Good quality- great value
Reviewed in the United States on March 11, 2024
These cotton swabs are better than the average no-name bargain brand, not quite as good as top-of-the-line brands like Q-tip.

The ends sometimes come loose or unravel a bit. Like when I'm using them to clean the gunk that collects around the edges of my eyeglasses.

Overall, I don't think you can beat the combination of quality for the price. It's a good value.
