These are great! I use them with liquid toner. They take a second to fully absorb the liquid you put on them, so apply it slowly. At first I was worried they would be hard to keep track of before washing. But I just got a smaller mesh grocery bag and collect them in there in the bathroom and then even wash them in the bag. That way they don't mysteriously disappear!

In an effort to be more sustainable, I attempted to make my own cotton rounds, using terry cloth. The result was disastrous: my homemade rounds left little bits of the material all over my face and the stitching is another story altogether. Your Cotton Facial Rounds were just what I'd imagine mine to be: smooth, surprisingly absorbent, and effective, but mine weren't as succesful. I'd recommend using a mesh laundry bag when laundering these cotton rounds because after washing, they fold up on themselves and disappear among the mountain of laundry. Though I haven't washed them after using them as yet, I'm hopeful that there will be little discoloration. However, if it does occur, bleaching or a more sustainable option should suit your purposes.

Love these cotton "rounds" (actually, they're square with rounded corners). I generally use one at night then leave it in my medicine cabinet overnight. By morning it is dry and I use the other side during my morning routine. I do recommend the laundry bag that other reveiwers recommend. WAY easier to keep track of in the washer and dryer. Plus, it gives me a place to "store" the dirty ones until I'm ready to do a load of laundry.

I really like these for toner. They're better than regular cotton rounds, sustainability aside! They don't absorb as much product as regular cotton rounds, they don't fall apart while you're using them, and they give a nice exfoliation. Washing is a little tricky, but I throw them in a mesh bag in the same load as towels/napkins so I can put them in a higher heat wash. They do come out clean, but they can stain a tiny bit and retain a bit of pet hair (if you have pets). Doesn't bother me.
