Cotton buds are one of those items I never really have in the house, but when I do I always find a lot of numerous uses for them which make them a very handy product. Having just had a new baby, cotton buds are a handy cleansing item to have in, as they have many different and handy uses. Johnson's is a very popular make of baby toiletries and is a consumer brand of Johnson and Johnson, a popular pharmaceutical company. Johnson's are most well known for their baby wipes, baby oil and especially their baby shampoo! The cotton buds come in a thick circular cardboard tub with a thin clear plastic lid.

I find cotton buds an extremely useful product to have around the house, they have a variety of uses whether it is for use personally or for cleaning in small hard to reach places. We always have at least one tub of cotton buds in the house, most of the time I go for a cheap version, like a shops own brand as I have found them to be just as good as the more expensive ones, and after all they just get used and thrown away so I see no point in spending a lot of money on them. Recently I noticed we were getting low on cotton buds so when I did my weekly shop I had a quick look to see what was available, I was a bit disappointed to see that the normal Tesco own brand that I .  Read the complete review

I think pretty much everyone uses cotton buds at some point as they have many valid uses. I don't tend to just stick to the one brand as I will pick them up wherever I go and I am running out. However, at the present time I am using the Johnsons ones which I do tend to use the most as I do like them. I always find cotton buds to vary depending on where you do buy them but with Johnsons I like the quality of them and do find they always seem to last a good while. APPEARANCE With the Johnsons cotton buds they are very distinct as they have a blue body to them which others don't. They then have the cotton white on each side and come in a drum shaped ...  Read the complete review

I have always used Johnson's cotton buds. Since I was a small child, I remember my mam using these soft cotton buds to clean out our ears on a Sunday night before school on the Monday. Nowerdays it is not recommended to put anything larger than your elbow into your ear. (as my fellow district nurse used to tell patients) I don't recommend using Johnson's cotton buds to remove wax from children's ears. However, I have to admit that on occasion I have. I find the soft tip of the bud is just long enough to carefully clean out the ear. I have never had any problems, but you have to be totally careful as you could indeed do serious damage to the ear drum. ...  Read the complete review
