         37 . The cosmetic cotton pad of  claim 32 , wherein a melting point of said thermally melting binding fiber is lower than the melting point of said micro staple fibers.  
     
     
         38 . The cosmetic cotton pad of  claim 34 , wherein a melting point of a low melting component of said multiple-component fibers is lower than a melting point of said micro staple fibers.  
     
     
         39 . The cosmetic cotton pad of  claim 25 , wherein one side of the cotton pad has a rough surface effected by disposing an abrasive.  
     
     
         40 . The cotton pad of  claim 39 , wherein said abrasive is formed from a thermoplastic fusion adhesive powder which is sintered onto one side of the cotton pad.  
     
     
         41 . The cosmetic cotton pad of  claim 40 , wherein said fusion adhesive powder comprises polyethylene, polyamide and/or polyester.  
     
     
         42 . The cosmetic cotton pad of  claim 40 , wherein said abrasive or said fusion adhesive powder has a grain size of 1-500 μm, 1-100 μm, or 1-65 μm.  
     
     
         43 . The cosmetic cotton pad of  claim 39 , wherein said abrasive is disposed with a weight per unit area of 5-50 g/m 2 , or 10-40 g/m 2 , or 15-30 g/m 2 .  
     
     
         44 . The cosmetic cotton pad of  claim 25 , wherein the pad is wet during manufacture and packaged in a damp state in a substantially moisture-proof fashion.  
     
     
         45 . The cosmetic cotton pad of  claim 25 , further comprising cotton fibers which are treated with a softener to at least 0.2 weight %.  
     
     
         46 . The cosmetic cotton pad of  claim 45 , wherein said softener comprises a fatty acid condensation product, functional polydimethyl siloxanes, and/or polyethylenes.
