What do you use at your house for napkins - everyday dinner?

Paper napkins? Cloth napkins? Paper towels?

We use the half size paper towels. I grew up with cloth, which is a better choice environmentally, but I hated cleaning them all, so I don't do it unless we have company.

Just curious.

Paper, and I feel guilty, but not guilty enough.

paper napkins. We use real dishes for every meal, so I'm sleeping guilt free, LOL. That may sound odd, but do you know how many friends I have that use paper plates for meals?!

Paper but I just put a pile in the middle of the table. Most nights no one seems to need one. We are neat/ill mannered/quasi environmentalists?

Paper towels. I love paper towels for everything.

Are actual paper napkins less expensive than using paper towels?

Half size paper towels but regular plates, etc

Paper napkins here (and real dishes--really; that many people use paper plates?)

We use cloth napkins, no paper towels in our house. We made the change over a year now and we love it!

What do you like better about it?

Cloth napkins. Everyone has their own color. We reuse if not really dirty, otherwise goes into the laundry basket. Sometimes if my kids get something like ketchup all over theirs I will rinse it out and hang to dry and use next night.

Cloth napkins. They stay at your place and the dinner table (we only use the dining room for dinner) and if you need a new one, you change it out yourself. Small discreet linen basket in the kitchen to hold them. Wash the whole batch every 2 weeks along with dish towels. It's a great system!

I like this. Maybe I can get my mom to put names on them with her fancy programmable seeing machine.

Or everyone gets their own special napkin ring! I will do this once my kids are older and not quite so messy. It is an excellent idea.
