(Part 2) Reddit mentions: The best cotton pads & rounds

I know the lighting in this picture doesn't do this eyeliner justice but I posted about my love for this eyeliner recently and I just wanted to do it again

I'm not saying buy these specifically. I was just trying to get a judgement for what type you were thinking of. Also, the ones you buy in the containers are so thin because they're soaked in a liquid. When you get cotton rounds wet (even the ones I linked), they're not going to take up as much space and will probably be just as thin. If your concern is that they're going to fall apart or tear, then just get the higher quality tear-resistant ones, which you would have seen if you'd even glanced at the similar product listings. I'm assuming you were thinking of something closer to this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N6KP7U4/ref=sspa_mw_detail_1?psc=1

I have no idea how large you think these are, but, honestly, if you don't have enough room for some pre-soaked cotton rounds, you don't have enough room for a cleanser and sunscreen either. Instead of being so dismissive in all your comments, maybe consider thanking someone for the time they spent to try to help you. And then maybe consider looking into any of their suggested comments and doing a little research for your self.

Btw, your best bet for your toner and essences would be to get a travel sized spray top bottle and decant your products into that. That way you don't have any pads to deal with and you don't have to deal with dirty hands for rubbing it in. You're welcome.

I buy these "Diane" cotton squares.


$3 for 160 on Amazon.

They only get linty if I press too hard. The layers peel a bit if I've cut it in half.

They're soft. Not like baby butt, cotton candy clouds. But I've tried like 5 different brands and I like these the best.

They do kinda soak up product at their full thickness. I peel them in half when I'm using something thinner that I want to save.

I really like that they don't have any hard spots where the layers are pressed together.

I'm not a super heavy user, but I've put a couple hundred mls of juice through this pair of coils.

But yeah, if you just change out the cotton and get the coils clean again, they will last a good while.

Cotton: https://www.amazon.com/Genuine-AtomizerWick-Japanese-Organic-Cotton/dp/B00NX47E1S/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1465866208&sr=8-2-spons&keywords=japanese+cotton&psc=1

I have the big tub of albolene as opposed to the albolene in the tube (I haven't found the tube versions in any walgreens I've been to), so first I make sure I wash my hands really well so as not to contaminate the product when I reach in to get some.

Then I'll reach in and get about a quarter sized blob and then begin gently massaging it into my face for 1-2 minutes. This is because pressing too hard and doing it for too long can cause broken capillaries that only go away through medical laser treatments. I rub the product all over in circular motions, but I personally focus a little more attention on my nose and cheeks where I'm more clog proned.

To remove the product I'll take a large cotton pad (I get some that are around 4"x3" at my local grocery). These are similar to the ones I use, but I pay about $4 per pack for the store brand where I buy them. Just have a look around whichever stores are near you and you'll probably find something similar. I'll dampen them with some warm water and (again gently but still firmly) wipe away excess product in more circular motions, using both sides. I'll usually use 1 if I'm not wearing any makeup or double cleansing. Then I will rinse my face off with warm water from my tap, towel dry, and then follow with the rest of my routine.

I see them in store for $1.50 but online is WAY more expensive. If you have one near you I would stock up on this!

Here is the Amazon link but it's way more expensive on Amazon: Daiso Cotton makeup pad 160 pcs, Round Cotton Pads, Very Soft, Simply Gentle (English Label) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07L64WM6X/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_eCB4CbG555DFJ

I use these:

https://www.amazon.com/Wegreeco-Bamboo-Makeup-Remover-Laundry/dp/B07J6B6BL6?th=1

They come with their own mesh laundry bag which makes it easy to clean them.

As far as makeup remover, micellar water works really well. I personally like garnier in the green bottle. I also have used Clinique take the day off balm, which is a bit pricey but I really like it because it does not have added fragrance.

You have to run A/C to get rid of fog.

For cleaning window interiors I use Stoners Invisible Glass cleaner and a reach and clean wand. This usually leaves streaks, so I have a big pack of super fresh cotton cosmetic pads that I wipe the windshield down with after, disposing them as they lint up. I use fresh cotton pads on the interior instead of a microfiber because my towels often get contaminated with wax, and I don't want to accidentally smear wax inside my car.

I think they’re called cotton pads on amazon, they’re life changing and use way less product than a tiny ball!
You know what, here you go :)
Super Soft Cotton Square Pad, 240 pcs https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01DPQIE0S/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_gw58AbS56CYM1

I also use the Muji 4 layer pads for my Texas Roll wicks. It's a little bit stronger than the Labo 5 Layer. You can get the Muji pads on Amazon, just make sure you pick the seller where the order is fulfilled by Amazon.

These Muji cotton pads are almost exactly like the Shisheido ones (I have both) and are cheaper.

My favourite, however, are these Cosme store ones. They are softer and bigger than the Shisheido and are also unbleached. But they are hard to find over here. They are listed as $6 on Amazon but my local Asian Beauty store has them for $3.99 which is where I get them from.

this is the cotton I use, it’s pretty cheap and you get a great amount for the price

Edit: idk why it linked to the single pack but there’s an 8 pack for like 14$

I use this cotton

I'm pretty sure my channels aren't covered. The atty keeps dumping juice into the bottom of the dank, outside the juice well. Every time I unscrew it comes pouring out even though I get dry hits. So obviously the juice channel to coil avenue isn't at good efficiency right now.

Thanks for the tips.

If you’re looking for a good deal on cotton rounds i bought 600 on amazon for $13 and I don’t think I’ll need more for years

Swisspers Premium 100% Natural Cotton Rounds, Hypoallergenic, Reclosable Bags, 100-Count Bags, 6-Pack (600 Rounds Total) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07CY66PLD/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_XdJUCbYB9F6DM

Sure do!
I hang the mesh bag on the back of the bathroom door and just dispose them as I use them in there, and I always forget to throw the bag in the wash when I do laundry. So I don’t personally know how well they hold up, but I got this link from another subreddit recommendation so I’m trusting it’s good!

I've had a similar (positive) experience with mine, also from amazon. They are so soft, and whenever I need to deep clean them I use my brush/beautyblender cleaner.

I need cotton rounds: www.amazon.com/DELON-Premium-Cotton-Rounds-Provitamin/dp/B00BYFV45A/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_nC?ie=UTF8&colid=16LDG7E4U32NL&coliid=I2O9EBKVSNQDRU (sorry, linking isn't working)

I use them in my daily skincare routine and to remove nail polish. Thanks!

Surgical cotton refers to cotton bacon right? And have you tried these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00O6BO0LY/ref=pd_aw_vtph_194_lp_3/155-8436765-2063562?ie=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=VRAWE5AJ5AXWDBRYRMR9 wondering how the taste is. Seems popular

Cotton Claw with Cotton Rounds. If you clean with Acetone you shouldn't have anything left over. I'm not sure why you're having some left over unless it's the polish you're using. I've left polish on a plate for a week and still got it out just fine with acetone...

I got some coils and cotton from amazon and they work really well.

This seems like a no brainer. Over half the cost.

Same thing, but one bag instead of two.
