How much are you paying for the Shiseido cotton? Gmarket wants an arm and a leg. I bought the Koh Gen Do from Ebay and it's not a bad price. In the states they are paying about $12 for 60 sheets. So I figure $17 for 80 sheets ain't half bad.

Did some digging... looks like you can get cotton for cheap... 100% cotton, though not sure about the quality Here
Looks like 150 at 100% cotton for $10
Neither of those links indicate that they are 100% Organic cotton. They may have some synthetic fibers and not good for vaping. Also some makeup pads can contain alcohol or perfumes.
Think I'll stick with the Koh Gen Do all the same.
Edit: The Gmarket version was the one I incorrectly looked at for the Shiseido (Shiseido PREPARE Cotton), but the Shiseido Facial Cotton is 100% cotton, although it doesn't state organic. Seems like a lot people do like it. And apparently cheaper than the KGD. On Gmarket its 38-45,000 won. Not cheap. Maybe cheaper in the cosmetics store?
Ebay ~$18 for 165 sheets shipped of the shiseido facial cotton...good deal.

Good score. Does the 16,000w include shipping?
Being a foreigner though I've always had problems buying off Korean web sites....other than Gmarket. Difficult to register since I don't read Korean.
None the less it's good to know it can be bought in Korea at a reasonable price.
E-Mart sells a large roll of organic cotton. No taste, no boiling required. Been using one bag over a year now. It was around 2,000₩.
Yeah..in which department? I looked at HomePlus and Lotte-mart for just 100% cotton to no effect. Rolls?
Its not that it matters for me, as I have raw organic cotton, organic cotton balls from Thailand, and of course KGD. Enough cotton to last me till the end of time
But organic cotton rolls for 2,000W is a hell of a deal.

Any chance you could upload a picture of the bag? I'll be on the lookout the next time I'm at E-Mart.
Sorry I just saw this. I will try to remember to do so tomorrow! It's in the makeup section, ask for 화장솜 and look for a clear bag of rolled cotton. It is flat and makes wicking super easy, I just cut a thin strip and insert it, then cut off the end that my skin touched to prevent contamination.
OK so I finally looked over the package. It doesn't say organic (I thought it did) but it does say 100% cotton, and has an ingredient/guarantee on the back that affirms that it is 100% cotton. Again it has no taste or weirdness to it, it seems to be just cotton. I boiled it when I first got it, but after feeling a bit lazy one night I decided to try it without boiling.. lo and behold, the taste is the same! All I taste is juice. lol
Even better than a picture, here's a link to buy it:

Found this at the Innisfree booth at my local eMart. 80 sheets of 100% organic cotton for 3000won. Not bad.
How's it taste? Did you put a little on your tongue and roll it around a bit?
It's everything I could ever hope for and more.
