sticky note

Self-clinging paper

A sticky note is a small piece of paper with a strip of low-tack adhesive on the back, allowing it to be attached to surfaces and easily removed without leaving residue.

Sticky notes are used for reminders, bookmarks, and quick messages: She left a sticky note on my desk.

Post-it is the trademarked brand name that became synonymous with the product.
