Paper towel dispenser?

We'd like to install a paper towel dispenser in our downstairs loo, do any of you have one? They look quite cheap on amazon although I'm a bit confused by all the different towel sizes!
Any suggestions gratefully received 😀thanks.

No I don't have one. I think they'd be incredibly messy. I hate paper towels. Then they'd have to be binned and the bin emptied. And the dispenser filled up and the new towels stored somewhere. Or visitors might flush them down the loo and cause a blockage. I just wouldn't.

I wouldn't use them either because they're wasteful. We have mini towels - bit bigger than face cloths but probably half the size of a small hand towel. Cuts down on washing loads. When my kids were little, I cut up old terry towelling nappies and used those because my lovely children would dip their dirty hands in water, look at the soap and then wipe all the dirt on to a towel as they dried. If you have children and really want to use paper towels, their school could probably add one to a stationery order. I've seen them in the catalogues we order from.

That’s the reason I have black hand towels in the downstairs one.
