Johnson's Cotton Buds

Johnson's products must be a firm favourite with many young Mums today but who would have thought that such a simple invention could make life so much easier. I have seen cheaper alternatives on the market yet I always head for the Johnson's cotton buds, the last time I was in Boots the chemists I bought a drum of 200 cotton buds for £1.48 and that drum will last me ages. Johnson's cotton buds do have 100% cotton buds and as long as you keep the lid on the tub it ensures that the cotton buds stay sterile. When we have had family get togethers I have seen my nieces use the buds for all manner of jobs, cleaning tiny ears and nostrils, removing tiny sleepers ...  Read the complete review

I'd never had the need to buy cotton buds until around eight years ago when my beloved rottweiler had an unsuccessful operation to remove a tumour, she was left in immense pain from a semi-open wound in her abdomen which needed to be kept scrupulously clean. She was left like this as it wasn't immediately apparent as to whether the operation had been successful or not, and it was the vet who suggested I buy Johnson's Cotton Buds to clean around the area without causing Razzle too much extra pain. I must admit she was a very brave girl, to my great sadness she died not long afterwards as it turned out a second tumour had gone unnoticed. Razzle may have ...  Read the complete review

I always used to buy these in Boots when I lived with my Mum and Dad, knowing that my Dad wouldn't use anything different. When I moved out however I wanted to save money in every way that I could so I decided to try cheaper versions of cotton buds. I purchased a pack of over 100 in wilkinsons for just 69p! But I then realised that sometimes you really do have to pay the extra money to get the quality you are looking for. Johnsons is a reputable name selling a variety of products from shampoos and body lotions to of course cotton wool and cotton buds. You can notice the difference in quality just by looking at Johnsons cotton buds and a cheaper brand. Johnsons ...  Read the complete review

Can I just say, I love these cotton buds? I never use any other brand now although I have tried a few in the past. Johnson's Cotton Buds have many uses and I always have them indoors. I use them to clean around my ears (obviously don't insert them into the ear canal, or nose, for safety reasons) but I also use them to apply eye make up as they are much cheaper than those eye shadow applicators and you can wet them for a more defined look. I have found they blend the colour quite well but when wet can help give an eyeliner look. I also use them to remove any nail polish I may get around my nails without trying to use a cotton pad when I've got wet nails. ...  Read the complete review

Cotton buds are an essential in our house so I always make sure we have in a a good supply. Over the years I've tried many different types & have found that the quality & price vary enormously. I thought I'd try & economise by buying cheaper brands from cut-price shops such as Superdrug, Savers & the various pound shops but found most to be inferior to Johnson's. I bought some once which were actually potentially dangerous as the cotton-wool end detached from the stick - goodness knows what could have happened had it lodged someone's ear? Johnson's buds are definately the best I've used but not the cheapest so ...  Read the complete review
