The following was reviewed by contributing writer, Amy.
I confess, I am a total Q-tip fan. I use a Q-tip every day to apply my eye makeup; nothing works better!
Have you seen all of the uses for Q-tips? The ideas are endless! Personally, our family uses Q-tips for painting projects with the girls, cleaning the screens on our cell phones, and getting in-between the crevices in our laptop keyboards. Q-tips also help keep my wedding rings clean and shiny.
Q-tips are so versatile, and are a must-have for any household.
I was really excited to use the new Q-tips Precision Tips on my eyelids because sometimes, well, a regular Q-tip gets a little fuzzy. The Precision Tips held up great for applying my eyeliner!
Whether you choose to moisten a Q-tips® cotton swab with warm water to clean your child’s outer ear, nose, folds of the neck or between toes, or clean around a scratch or scrape on a little one’s knee with a Q-tips® Precision Tip™, these tools are soft, safe and gentle for every day use.
Through Thursday, 12/15, you can enter the Q-tips Tip-a-Thon! To participate, simply share the ways you use Q-tips cotton swabs or Q-tips Precision Tips, and you will be eligible for a chance to win a $100 gift card or a grand prize worth $1,000. See the Q-tip Facebook page for more details. But hurry, because this ends tomorrow… so submit that tip now!
And… one lucky Kingdom First Mom reader will win a Q-tips Gift Pack, including a $25 AMEX Gift Card, courtesy of Q-tips and RocketXL.
ONE reader will win a Q-tip Gift Pack + $25 AMEX Gift Card.

My best use for q-tips is to lightly damp with rubbing alcohol and clean the kids game cartridges. They tend to get gummy or greasy from not being touched rite. I am looking forward to trying the presision tips as they look to NOT be fuzzy.
Thanks for a daily dose of information to make my life easier.

Bethany Goff says
I like to use Q tips for kids projects involving glue. We just pour some glue into an old lid and apply the glue with a Q tip. No muss, no fuss! And no ooey-gluey fingers! 🙂 I do really like the idea of the Precision Q Tips, because, like you use, I’ve seen as the regular ones get saturated, the cotton gets pretty droopy and fuzzy. The precision ones sound like they would be great for my kids projects. And I’ve got a Christmas project coming up that I’m going to need some for! Perfect timing!
