1 / 8Washable makeup pads
One set replaces thousands of single-use cotton pads. Twenty pads that take over 500 washes, with a mesh wash bag so they do not disappear in the machine.
Hold them up against each other
A cotton pad is used for twenty seconds
Then out it goes. These you wash and use again — a year or two at a time.
The comparison is against ordinary single-use cotton pads, not against a specific brand.
Two cotton pads a day becomes 730 a year.
They are used for twenty seconds and thrown out. Many of them are even blended with synthetic fibre.
Washable instead of single-use
A single-use cotton pad is used for twenty seconds and thrown away, and many of them are blended with synthetic fibre. These are natural fibres with two sides, and they last for years.
No synthetic fibre blended in, so no microplastic sheds in the wash.
Soft side for the eyes, light texture for the rest of the face.
So they do not disappear among the clothes. 60 degrees with the ordinary wash.
Denmark is throwing away, right now
The number rises while you look at it. The maths is under the card.
Our own estimate: 2 million Danes × 2 pads a day. Do the maths yourself. Spread across the seconds of the year.

What people ask us
How do I wash them?
Put them in the mesh wash bag that comes with them and run them with the ordinary laundry at 60 degrees.
Do they remove eye makeup as well as cotton pads?
Yes. The soft side is gentle enough for the eye area and effective enough for waterproof makeup with a little oil or micellar water.
How long does a set last?
With normal use and washing they typically last one to two years, before the fabric starts to thin.
What does shipping cost?
39 kr on orders under 300 kr, and free shipping from 300 kr and up. A single set costs 249 kr — add a box of cotton buds or a tongue scraper and shipping is free.
