Reusable cotton pads for makeup removal, toner and micellar water. LastRound is a set of seven washable rounds. You use them exactly like disposable cotton pads, then wash them and use them again, for hundreds of washes. How to use reusable cotton rounds Wet a round with micellar water, toner or makeup remover. Sweep it over your face the way you would with a disposable pad. Rinse it under the tap, then drop it in the wash bag until laundry day. How to wash them Put the bag in with your regular laundry, at up to 60°C. Skip fabric softener: it coats the fibres and makes the rounds less absorbent. Let them air dry. How many reusable makeup remover pads do you need? One set of seven covers a week of daily use, with one wash a week. If you use two rounds a day, one for the eyes and one for the face, two sets let you wash weekly without running out. Reusable vs disposable cotton rounds A disposable round is used for seconds and thrown away. Each LastRound is rated for about 250 washes, so one set of seven replaces roughly 1,750 single-use rounds. We priced LastRound against the disposables it replaces in Reusable Rounds and Tissues Undercut What They Replace. About LastRound LastRound is a set of 7 reusable cotton pads — a washable, long-lasting alternative to single-use cotton rounds and makeup remover pads, designed in Copenhagen by LastObject. Launched on Kickstarter in 2020, the campaign was fully funded by thousands of backers. Each pad measures approximately 7 cm in diameter, the same as a standard disposable cotton round, and works as a direct replacement for the same skincare tasks. The pads are made from a blend of 30% cotton and 70% lyocell (wood fibre), which gives them a soft, slightly textured surface similar to a traditional cotton pad, while being more durable and quicker to dry. They are machine washable at up to 60°C — the temperature at which common bacteria and viruses on fabric are eliminated. Each pad is rated for approximately 250 wash cycles. A mesh laundry bag is included to keep pads together in the wash. One set of 7 pads replaces approximately 1,750 single-use cotton rounds over its lifetime. The pads are free from synthetic dyes and chemical treatments and are home compostable at end of life. LastRound works with all water-based skincare products: micellar water, toner, make-up remover, serums, and exfoliants. Do not use fabric softener, as it coats the fibres and reduces absorption. The packaging is FSC-certified cardboard. Questions Are reusable cotton pads hygienic? Yes, when they are washed properly. We went through the research in Are Reusable Makeup Pads Hygienic? Will they stain? Makeup can leave marks over time. A stain is a change of colour, not a hygiene problem, as we explain here. Do they work with waterproof makeup? Use a remover made for waterproof makeup. The round does the wiping; the remover does the dissolving. How long do they last? Each round is rated for about 250 washes. New to reusables?
