Review (5/5): Terrific and makes a great baby shower gift.
I can get 750 J&J Qtips for a $4.64. So this all comes down to the environment.
The J&J swabs come in plastic container and these come in a box which is kinder to the planet.
These have a bamboo stem and the J&J are plastic! (I always thought they were paper!). And I am LOVING how sturdy the stems are: they don't bend, not that I use force when using, it just makes for a sure grip.
I did a side by side and the tips are the same thickness.
