Q-tip is a brand, the generic term in American English is cotton swab.

If that is the case:

hisopado = swabbed

To me this is a "hisopo" and was/is used to spread shaving cream on the face.

I didn't even know a cotton swab was called hisopo.

It seems to me this same subject came around about a year ago.

Aplicadores "Limpiecitos" is what is used in Mexico (same as "Q-Tips" and both are brand names).

¿Aplicadores "limpiecitos" ? ¿en México? ¿en qué parte? - Agora, Jul 19, 2011
Siempre los he conocido técnicamente como hisopos o familiarmente como "Q-tips" (por la marca, como bien dices). - Agora, Jul 19, 2011
Hasta aún tengo una cajita de estos "limpiecitos" que me compré en el DF. No digo que es el nombre técnico, pero sí es el único nombre que trae la caja - 005faa61, Jul 19, 2011
