Environmental Benefits

Choosing reusable cotton pads prevents approximately 4,380 disposable rounds from entering landfills annually per person—a significant reduction in single-use waste. This 12-pack eliminates that cycle entirely, with each pad lasting through hundreds of wash cycles over years of use. Bamboo-blended cotton requires 30% less water than conventional cotton farming and eliminates synthetic pesticide use, reducing agricultural runoff and supporting soil health. By washing pads at home rather than purchasing replacements, you reduce manufacturing emissions and packaging waste substantially. The multi-purpose design—suitable for makeup removal, nursing, and skincare—maximizes utility and minimizes the number of products needed. Machine washing requires minimal energy compared to industrial production of disposable alternatives. When finally worn, both materials biodegrade completely through home composting. One purchase supports circular economy principles while demonstrating that effective personal care doesn't require environmental compromise.

Specific Materials Used

Constructed from a blend of sustainably harvested bamboo viscose and premium organic cotton, these pads combine softness with exceptional durability. Bamboo viscose is produced through a closed-loop manufacturing process that recycles 99% of solvents, minimizing chemical waste and environmental impact. The organic cotton is cultivated without synthetic pesticides, herbicides, or fertilisers, supporting biodiversity and soil regeneration. The tightly woven construction resists pilling and fraying through repeated washing cycles, ensuring longevity across hundreds of uses. The natural fibre blend creates optimal absorbency—soft enough for delicate facial skin yet durable enough for nursing applications. No synthetic dyes, bleach, or chemical finishes are used; the pads retain their natural colour and hypoallergenic properties. The round shape provides versatility for multiple applications while remaining compact for storage or travel. Each pad measures an ideal size for effective makeup removal, facial cleansing, and nursing comfort without excess material waste.

Disposal / End-of-Life Instructions

These pads are engineered for extended reuse through simple machine washing. Launder in warm water with mild detergent, then air dry to preserve fibre integrity—avoid high heat and fabric softeners that reduce absorbency and lifespan. With proper care, each pad remains fully functional for 500+ wash cycles, spanning years of daily use across multiple applications. When pads finally thin or develop permanent stains, compost them entirely—both bamboo viscose and organic cotton biodegrade completely within months in home or industrial composting systems. Never incinerate or landfill; composting returns nutrients to soil and closes the nutrient cycle. Store in a clean, dry location between uses to prevent mildew and maintain freshness. The minimal packaging is recyclable cardboard with no plastic components. By choosing washable pads, you eliminate the need to purchase and dispose of thousands of single-use rounds over a lifetime. One set supports decades of sustainable personal care while generating zero waste at end of life.
