Parade of Cotton (Pads, that is...)

I usually use cotton pads instead of cotton balls since I feel like what gets absorbed can be spread more evenly on surface areas.

When I started purchasing them at Miniso, I noticed that the packages were of different color but the saleslady just said they were all the same. Another saleslady was more knowledgeable so she explained the difference. What I have is the green box right now. The green packaged box has two types of cotton pad in it. The thicker version (75pcs.) and the thinner version (400pcs.).


I bought this maybe a year ago or this year, I can't really recall. But now, when I enter the store, there are many more variaties. One can get them as organic, with rayon, with charcoal. But I generally just use the basic one.

At some point, I have bought both Mumuso's and Miniso's cotton pads and they're pretty the same except Miniso's pricing is cheaper with 99php for 240 pcs. while Miniso is priced at 119php. Miniso also has their cotton pads "have some finishing" at the sides. I don't know what the gauges are for. Is there some sort of reason for it? I'm just curious about it. Hehe...
