Review (4/5): Not as flexible as Q-tips so be careful!!!
CAUTION: if you are used to using regular cotton swabs or Q-tips, please know that you cannot use these bamboo swabs with the same amount of pressure because the stems break and split.
Other than that, I love that these are a more eco-friendly choice. I subtracted a star because these were wrapped in bundles in small plastic baggies which were then all packaged together in a larger plastic baggy.
