Review title is simply ineffective and not all that "eco-friendly" [SEP] Instead of just "up to 1000 q-tips" that will biodegrade in the landfill, now there are up to 1000 q-tips AND a piece of silicone that will sit there forever. As other reviews have pointed out, this is useless for its intended purpose. I was using a q-tip almost daily and wondered if there was something better, and now I feel foolish for falling for green marketing on a piece of silicone that won't biodegrade and can only be down-cycled, at best.
