smooth cotton fabric on both sies
I was in need of a "pillow pad" style cotton square to apply iodine to a wound; found that I needed to use 2 to get the "cushion that I wanted to apply it. Also  had to use 2 with gauze to get the amount of padding needed over the wound.  For what I wanted them for, they were a little on the thin side which is the only problem I had with them.  They are of good quality and do not shred or come apart when wet.
