Very soft. The size is larger than the usual cotton pads. At first I used only with tonic, I was afraid to wash the mascara, I thought I would not wash it later. But no, mascara is washed off better than conventional cotton discs, TC villi, which is covered with a fabric disc, better to clean the intereyelash space from cosmetics. From the oil two-phase flush washed very easily. Savings and financial, and benefits of nature.
