Going strong after 3 years of use!
I bought this back in 2020. After 3 years of consistent use and machine-washing, it's still intact and remains soft!<br /><br />I have used both sides of the pad. I use the soft velvety side to apply toner and its softness keeps my face from getting red and irritated. The rougher bamboo terry side - I have used to remove makeup. It feels slightly rough to the touch (by hand), but on the face it feels gentle while also being effective in removing cosmetics that I don't have problems using it on my eyelids. One, and only one of my pads did stain though, but that's probably due to the formula of the eyeliner I used. Other than that, the others have remained spotless.<br /><br />The absorbancy of these pads are not too much, meaning you will be using less products than you normally would if you had used a cotton ball/pad. This is a big bonus for me because I do like getting the most of my buck. I now go through a bottle of toner at least twice as long as I did before.<br /><br />The laundry bag has been very useful as well. I wanted to hand wash them but having little to no time, I find it convenient that I can just toss them in the machine. Pro-tip, and I don't know if this is an already known tip: do not use fabric softener on these so it doesn't lose its absorbancy.<br /><br />Lastly, I have read some complaints about the fabric separating from each other when wiped on the face. I haven't had this problem so far but that's probably due to how I hold my pads. I included a photo for reference but of course, do what is most comfortable to you :)<br /><br />I don’t have complaints about this product at all. There's enough pads to last a whole week, a laundry bag for efficient washing, and two sides for different purposes all — for $7-$8? That sounds like a great deal to me.
