Can we talk about switching from cotton rounds to reusable pads for toner application

I used to go through bags of those round cotton pads from CVS every month, probably 3 or 4 packs easy. Now I've been using these reusable bamboo rounds I got off Etsy for about 6 months and I just wash them with my towels. Idk maybe it's just me but my toner seems to absorb better and I'm not tossing all that waste. Anyone else made the switch and noticed a difference in product usage or skin feel?

That "product seems to absorb better" thing is real, I notice the same with my makeup sponges after switching to washable ones.

Stella is right, that absorption difference is legit. Read somewhere that the fibers in cotton rounds can actually grab onto and hold product more than the smoother bamboo material, so less toner ends up on your skin. I was skeptical at first because I figured waste was the only reason to switch, but my face definitely feels less dry after applying now. The cloth pads seem to glide instead of drag across my skin too, which has to be gentler in the long run.
