Reusable cotton rounds or pads? Are you into this?
I have shared this photo over my Instagram Account and I got several questions about how to use it and could it be possible to replace the disposable cotton.I'm do not claim myself as an eco-warrior but still, I want to help the environment in my own way. I like the thought of using these washable cotton rounds that I can use for acids and makeup removers.
I got 2 types:
Cotton Fleece - fleece of course1
Terry - this has a towel like texture
When I bought mine, I also placed an order for some cable organizer and a reusable napkin. Same with the cotton rounds, I have no idea if the reusable napkin can work for me. Buying these won't mean I will never buy normal disposable cotton ball/pads again - of course, think about for nail polish removal should still use the disposable ones.
Would this reusable cotton rounds absorb much product?
Before I bought it, I'm thinking of how much product it may absorb, probably more than disposable cotton? - anyway, I prefer to splat toners directly to the face rather than using a pad.- used with Makeup Remover
Terry material adheres the liquid makeup remover faster than the fleece. However, I like the feeling of Terry when I rub it on my face, it's like a smooth towel that exfoliates the face as well.
Here's my before and after photo of removing light makeup. I only have eyeshadow, concealer and tint.
- Acids Applicator
- Toners
Was it expensive?
I found a good buy at Shopee - it's a 25 pcs for Php 260 / $ 4.7 and I got an additional 5 pcs to cover seller's wrong design as what I requested. I've made my computations for a year supply of cotton pads I think I saved a lot more for reusable ones.For daily use, I'm using up to 2-3 rounds 1 for acids/toner and 1-2 for makeup removers.

What could be challenging about using reusable cotton rounds?
This is what I could think of right now: WashingI ordered 25 pieces so it can cover at least my 1-week application of my skin care. I should not forget to wash them if ever I already have few rounds left. I've read online that it can be washed together with your delicates on the washing machine but I prefer to have it hand washed with a liquid detergent or a mild soap. Hand washing does not completely remove all makeup stain - like lipsticks unless I have it scrubbed - challenging thing because these are small, and it might be harder if I wait for my 1 week before I wash them off, also scrubbing may cause damage to the edge stitch.
Overall:
I think I can overcome the challenging part of washing them. I like the feeling of using the reusable cotton rounds. I'm going to try this for several months, let's see if I can make to a permanent switch!
Gumagamit din po ako ng ganyan Ms.Glenda breastpads nung malakas pa ung milk ko. Gumagamit din po ako ng cloth pads sa menstruation ko po.😊
