Upfront, yes—but they last much longer and save money over time. A one-time purchase can replace hundreds of single-use items.

Cotton rounds can be thrown in the wash (use a mesh bag!). Konjac sponges should be rinsed after each use and replaced every 6–8 weeks.

Yes! In fact, they’re often cleaner than disposables because you control the maintenance. Just wash them regularly and store in a dry place.
