I always make sure that I have a pack at home. Very easy to use and to store. Convenient to use with make up remover and toner. I can remove the nail polish off my nails with a bit of nail polish remover and only one or two cotton pads. I am not the biggest fan of the texture of cotton wool either, and cotton wool tends to leave stringed pieces everywhere, whereas these cotton wool pads are clean and efficient and have multiple uses. A must have!
