Review title is Great for almost everything, except ears [SEP] The cotton on these swabs is layered thinner and firmer than other cotton swabs I've tried. This makes them less than ideal for cleaning delicate parts of the human body, like ears.<br /><br />However, they are excellent for everything else. If you're doing detail cleaning, these swabs are a total bargain. If you need cotton swabs for a high heat situation (where plastic just won't do), these are more than adequate. If you want cheap swabs for children's arts and crafts, stop looking now.<br /><br />When it comes to cleaning out my ears, I'll stick to the name brand that I've known and trusted my whole life. But for every other situation I need cotton swabs in, from here on out, I'll be saving some money by using these bargain swabs.
