Q-tips are not actually considered safe for use for removal of earwax, even though that is what most people use them for. It is not an infrequent occurrence for the cotton end to become loose and for the pointy plastic end to then damage the ear canal. There is also a risk of causing an impaction of earwax, and of irritating the lining of the ear canal resulting in infection. ( These issues are even greater when parents use q-tips on children to clean their ears, since the adult is effectively guessing how much "force" needs applying. )
Q-tips can also be used to remove nail polish splodges and for applying creams/emollients to small areas (e.g treating acne). In these instances they are perfectly safe to use.
