paper toweling

Disposable absorbent sheets

Paper toweling is absorbent paper sold in rolls or sheets for cleaning, drying hands, or wiping surfaces.

The term treats individual paper towels as a continuous material rather than discrete units: We'll need more paper toweling for the mess.

Interchangeable with paper towels in most contexts.
