Most cotton oval pads are made from soft, absorbent cotton. Many product listings specify 100% cotton or high‑quality soft cotton.
Sizes vary from roughly 70 x 90 mm ovals up to oversized/XL pads (about 3.54 x 4.33 inches).
Common pack counts include smaller options like 50-count and 80-count packs, as well as larger packs such as 240 count.
Pads are offered with smooth sides for applying toners and textured or exfoliating surfaces for deeper yet gentle cleansing; some models feature two distinct surface textures.
They are commonly used for makeup removal, applying toners or other liquid skincare products, facial treatments, and some oversized pads are marketed as disposable baby cleansing wipes or for diapering.
Cotton oval pads are generally described as highly absorbent and durable; many product descriptions and reviewers note they hold up during use without peeling or disintegrating.
These pads are disposable and should be thrown away in the trash. They should not be flushed down the toilet.
Exfoliating cotton ovals have a softly textured surface (often two-sided) designed to provide gentle, deeper exfoliation while removing makeup. Regular pads are typically smooth and intended mainly for applying products or gentle cleansing.
