roller towels

Rotating restroom fabric

A roller towel is a continuous loop of toweling mounted on a rotating cylinder, typically found in public restrooms.

You dry your hands on a clean section, then pull to advance fresh fabric while the used portion rolls into the dispenser.

Once common, they've largely been replaced by paper towels and air dryers due to hygiene concerns.
