paper napkin

Throwaway table square

A paper napkin is a disposable square of absorbent paper used to wipe hands and mouth during meals.

Unlike cloth napkins, paper napkins are meant to be thrown away after a single use.

They range from thin fast-food napkins to thicker, more absorbent varieties: Grab some extra paper napkins—these ribs are messy.
