The generic name is cotton swab. Q-Tips is a brand.
In 1923, Leo Gerstenzang noticed that his wife had stuck a bit of cotton on a toothpick and was using it to clean their baby's ears. Thinking that this jerry-rigged swab might cause some damage to the kid, Leo designed a safer cotton swab.
He started the Leo Gerstenzang Infant Novelty Company to sell his new creation, which he dubbed Baby Gays. In 1926, he changed the swab's name to Q-tip Baby Gays, and eventually the product name was shortened to just Q-tips. Over time, the brand name has come to stand for any cotton swab, another example of a propriety eponym like Kleenex or Xerox.

Whenever I want to say pam, I catch myself because we can't get pam and I don't like calling it what it isn't, so I always "the spray". 
When my kids play with their "lego" and it doesn't work well, I tell them, well it's not the real stuff.

| For some reason, when I'm referring to my brita water pitcher I refer to it as the brita. like "Please pass the brita". I don't think it's so weird but everyone around me cracks up!
