Just be sure it's really soft so you don't irritate the skin around your eyes. Good luck and have fun! ~Amy Sue Julie,

I use a rosewater astringent and Eye makeup remover. So I use 4 cotton balls a day. I googled "reusable cotton balls" and was directed to you're blog. (Love your other ideas too!) What kind of fabrics will work the best you think? Thank you! Julie So is flannel a good fabric to use for the cotton pads? I use a rosewater astringent and Eye makeup remover.

I don't know if I can ever bring myself to use one though since my mom imprinted in my brain to never put anything besides Q-tips and fingers in my ears. ;) I'll bet flannel will make nice makeup/toner pads. I have some made of cotton velour and they are soooooo soft, but most people don't have velour hanging around their houses. Be sure to send photos when you've got them done! ~Amy Sue Melissa,

A great reusable alternative to q-tips are Japanese ear cleaners. You could google them or look on j-list.com. An ear cleaner is about a pencil length piece of thin bamboo that is slightly curved on the end. In Japan (and perhaps other Asian countries) they use them to clean out their ears! It might sound a little odd, but you just clean it off, and know enough to be cautious (if it hurts your doing it wrong, and don't stick it IN your ear canal!). Your quest for reusables sounds cool! Once I get my sewing machine fixed I plan to sew an old flannel shirt into reusable cotton makeup/toner pads. It seems flannel works best for this... Hi.
