Biodegradable Cotton Swabs 200 pk
Time to ditch the plastic and go back to basics. For over a century, cotton swabs were made from wood and cotton, simple, effective, and able to break down naturally. Most swabs today are plastic, which means a tiny plastic stick headed for the landfill or the ocean after a few seconds of use. These bamboo and cotton swabs bring the old way back, without giving up any comfort or convenience.
- 200 ridged swabs per pack, with bamboo sticks and soft, pure cotton tips
- Made from sustainably sourced bamboo and cotton, fully biodegradable and home-compostable
- Plastic-free from the swab to the packaging
- Comes in a sturdy, reusable kraft cylinder that keeps them clean and organized
- Each pack replaces hundreds of single-use plastic swabs
Reach for them anywhere you would use a regular cotton swab: makeup application and touch-ups, cleaning around the outer ears and eyes, and small detail work around the house. When you are done, the whole swab can go straight in the compost.
Sustainably sourced bamboo sticks with pure cotton tips. No plastic anywhere, so the whole swab is biodegradable.
- Container: 3" round x 3.25" tall
- Swabs: 3" long x 1/4" at the tip
Packed in an eco-friendly kraft cardboard cylinder that is reusable, recyclable, and biodegradable. Once the swabs are gone, the tube is handy for storing small items or travel essentials.
When you are finished with a swab, compost it and it will break down naturally. The container can be reused or recycled with your paper products.

I love the packaging these swabs come in, I mainly use them as occasional makeup removers and love that they’ll help me eliminate even more unnecessary plastic from my bathroom!
Good quality, eco friendly q-tips :)
Good quality swabs. They hold up better than a few other zero waste brands I've tried and I love the packaging. I've actually kept a couple packages to organize other things in my drawer like scrunchies.
You will never go back to anything else after buying this, they are super sturdy and literally zero plastic which i love
I’m so glad I finally switched to these useful and beautifully presented cotton swabs. Thank you for offering this option!
Thank you so much for your lovely feedback! We're thrilled to hear you're happy with our biodegradable cotton swabs. Your support means a lot to us!
These are great, and I do like the nifty little cardboard container they come in, but I would be even happier with a no-container buying option, since I empty these into a ceramic container I already own.
Hi Julie, thank you for your thoughtful feedback! We're glad you like the cardboard container. We'll certainly consider your suggestion for a no-container option to better suit your needs. Thanks for helping us improve!
Love this swabs. I use nothing else.
And I really appreciate how Zero Waste took care of me when I ordered.
These swabs work well, but they’re not as strong as traditional brands and the stick breaks easier.
Guilt free swabs, love that! Love the package they come in, we repurpose it.
Perfect for our new bathroom! One for each of us in a great container!
These are good quality cotton swabs with no plastic packaging. I love the convenience of keeping the container with the top off - easy to grab a swab when you need one.
The products are great, look Nd feel nice, and the people seem like good people
First time ordering. Very satisified with the quality of these. I used to order from a different place before they abruptly closed down for business amd these cotton swabs are significantly better.
Not a wimpy bendy swab. Love the sturdy bamboo and there's just enough cotton swab. These are great.
I love using cotton swabs without feeling like i’m contributing to the waste problem. Very reasonably priced
Excellent product and I especially appreciate the packaging as it fits nicely into my medicine cabinet.
Met my goals, at reasonable price.
These are honestly better than the plastic off brand qtips I've been buying from Walmart. The cotton is thicker and the container is super nice. Will definitely reuse it when it's empty. Highly recommend.
These swabs are quality, don't break easily. Packaging is genius, we reuse the containers.
Thank you for such a great product to replace the only Qtip I ever used. Buying as gifts for my neices!!
I ordered the 10 pack because we use a lot of qtips here, the packaging is great and super convenient. I’m excited about my sustainability journey and Zero Waste Outlet is gonna help me do that!
I like that they are MUCH stronger than a cotton/paper qtip
These are nice q-tips. The fact that the container and the packaging all are environmentally friendly is awesome! When done with the q-tips, I've used the containers for gifts or pot for plants!
Silly but it makes me feel special to use products that are not harmful to our environment. And the plastic the typical cotton swabs comes in is horrible!! Love these. Won’t buy anything else in the future. Love this store!!!
These are just like what I'm used to wirh cotton, but the wood stick portion is different. I snapped one by surprise, but it still functioned properly
I love that no plastic is involved & that they're tree-free!
I like this alternative to wasteful plastic swabs.
Purchased these with the hopes that they would deliver a sturdy ear swab. Yes, they are exactly what I was hoping for in sturdiness and quality. 👍 #Yes
Not much to a swab, but the parts that need to be good are. Stick is sturdy, swab holds up and doesn't bunch up. And biodegradable.
As others have commented, these are a great swap, but the cotton heads aren't as plush as the name-brand mass-market ones. This isn't a deal breaker for us—it is just something we'll have to get used to.
Excellent product!
