Sky Organics Organic Cotton Swabs (1500 ct.) Natural Cotton Buds, Cruelty-Free, Biodegradable, Hypoallergenic, Chlorine-Free (4 Pack x375 CT)

I absolutely love ramming cotton buds in my ears and having a propper good itch. These bend to easily for me really but do the job. Also I've not lost the end of one in my ear yet which is a regular occurrence for me normally because I get carried away itching so in that respect the product gets a big thumbs up from me 👍

Hands down the safest and best. Excellent for children and sensitive eyes. A repeat customer!!!

I work with headphones every day and listen to music daily so my headphone use is probably 12hrs a day and i generally clean my ears 4 times a day because of this. I have not bought cotton swags in a very long time since i bulk buy. everything and its been about a decade since i have had to, im not sure if this great price or not but seemed very reasonable with the searches i came across. 4 Star Reason: The cotton ends of these are very tightly wound and a thinner diameter. I find them to be much less absorbent than any other kind i have used in the past and less effective. IF they are used for cleaning dab bangers, they work very well. I get these are not marketed for cleaning ears so i keep that in mind with this review, if this was a product designed specifically for cleaning ears i would have given 2/5 stars. *Works well with cat ears by the way with the smaller tighter cotton.

They are okay but a little flimsy

Let's face it, QTips are the gold standard for cushiness, usability and strength--they don't bend or break when you insert them into your ear. So in use and functionality, I'm comparing these to QTips. They do the job, which is why they got 3 stars, and they are organic. HOWEVER I've used far superior ones before and I wish I could remember the brand name. ISSUES: 1. These are SUPER scratchy. The cotton quality must be meh or subpar. I can still feel where I used them in my ear. 2. The AMOUNT of cotton on each end is super stingy. You can feel the end of the stick when you clean your ear. Watch out! If you're used to the relative cushiness of Qtips, you could do damage with these. 3. The stick is kiiiind of thin and flimsy. On the amount of cotton and flimsiness fronts, they're not half as bad as the ones you get in a hotel room that bend the instant you apply pressure, and scratch your ear half off if you accidentally get it a bit wet. These are better than that. But not much. I will keep looking for the other brand that was superior quality like Qtips, but organic.
