sticky pad

Temporary mounting square

A sticky pad is a small block of paper sheets with a strip of adhesive along one edge, allowing individual notes to be attached to surfaces and removed without leaving residue.

The sheets typically peel off one at a time: She left a reminder on a sticky pad by the phone.

Post-it is the dominant brand name, often used generically.
