Pampoo 4PCS Plastic Free Reusable Qtips with Bamboo Carrying Case丨Reusable Cotton Swab Qtip Zero Waste Packaging丨Strengthen Thick Bamboo Stick丨Eco Friendly Bamboo Qtips Sustainable Set

I’m buying my second set after over 2 years of regular use, where only one end of 4 tore. They definitely feel different than cotton swabs, but work great once you get used to it. I agree that they’re not absorbent, so if that’s important to you, pass. However, my ears have never felt wet after using them, if that’s the application you’re using them for. The bumps grab onto wax and water. They’re super easy to clean—just run them under the faucet. Sooooo much more sustainable, minimalist, and cheaper than cotton swabs!!! I’ve not missed that giant plastic box or all the trash at all.

I bought these to try and reduce waste overall in my home. The textured ones worked well for general ear cleaning, but the pointier ones for use with makeup didn't really work very well. They made of silicone and are not absorbent at all (which is fine for me most of the time) so they didn't work for cleaning up makeup mistakes. I did have success using them to blend my eyeliner and that worked great. The most important thing to me was that they were easy to clean. I just wash them with gentle soap in warm water and let them dry completely before putting them back in the case. I would recommend these reusable swabs to anyone wanting to reduce their waste, but not if they are depending on them to be absorbent or help with "erasing" makeup.

I am someone who cleans their ears daily using q-tips. I wanted an earth friendly and plastic free alternative to the big box of q-tips I go through. I found these and I’m in love. I have not cleaned my ears in a week and pulled these suckers out as soon as they arrived. They are easy to wipe clean after use and really get that gunk out of your ears without the possibility of leaving cotton behind. I’m sold on these and will share with my other planet loving friends!

The media could not be loaded. I love the earth but I use a lot of Qtips, so it is about time to change and create less waste from my end. Therefore I went ahead and bought this reusable one. It came with four Qtips and one lousy bamboo case! Here is my honest review that they are good for application but not for absorbency at all. For example, you can use them to apply cream or medicine to areas like inside of your nose, in-between the toes or any place that requires a tool! Or they can be useful when applying makeups for instance if you accidentally smeared your eyeliner or mascara that you need a tool to clean the corner of your eyes or under your eyes! However, trust me they won’t dry your ears after showers as they are made from silicone. Well the good thing is I have been using a lot of less regular Qtips since owning them. Lastly I have a big compliant, which is the bamboo case, it is a terrible design, the case doesn’t close at all, the Qtips fall out everywhere all the time without any effort, and guess what one time they fell into the toilet ugh! I hate the case!!! I was so mad!!

I love this little set! I use these to clean my ears, so I don't use the smooth ones very often. The ones with the nubs on them are wonderful! They feel so good in the ear, are great at scratching an itch and clean well. Since these are silicone, they won't dry your ear, so keep that in mind. I just use a little square of tp to dry my ears after getting out of the shower and then follow up with one of these nubby swabs to get them squeaky clean. They are very easy to clean as well.

Doesn’t really work as well as traditional cotton Q-tips, sadly. The silicone material just doesn’t collect as much and my ears just don’t feel clean afterwards.

Exactly as advertised. And they work. The spiked ones work for your ears best while the smooth ones are good for other general things. Easy to clean. Cute wooden packaging. I bought these bc we will be traveling

Arrived in a timely manner and exactly as described. These a silicon tips on bamboo sticks, stored in a bamboo cylinder. I don’t even know why anyone would ever think they could absorb anything, as silicon is rubber material. If using the smooth ones for makeup purposes, they may help to blend eyeliners, lipliners or eyebrow pencil. They really won’t help clean up makeup mistakes. I bought them for my ears. The only ones that help clean out ears, is the 2 with mini spikes. Easy to hand wash with hot water and soaps. Do not purchase thinking they’ll be absorbent like cotton swabs, as a rubbery silicon will never absorb. There are hand with art projects, that may need forming or May need glues or paints to be moved around. They work for what I needed them for.
