I am looking for a cost efficient method for drying little hands. They were sharing a hand towel that I changed out daily, but when I saw a 3 year old wipe her mouth/nose on it, I realized that was not a good method.
I have been using paper towels, but the kids are struggling with using one at a time. Also, we all know what a roll of paper towels looks like after soaking wet hands try to tear one off. So, I'm currently tearing paper towels and laying them on the counter, but that's an endless job.
I thought about purchasing a paper towel dispenser, but I don't really want that mounted in my bathroom. I'm also not sure I want the cost of buying specific paper towels.
I also considered the Norwex animal things that hang (not sure what they're called), but I think those would be soaked by the end of the day and I'm not 100% confident that they will contain any/all germs that may get wiped on them.
What do you all use?

Kleenex hand towels. The dispenser sits on the towel rack or counter.
One use disposables are required by licensing here due to health and safety regulations.

I use a wall mounted dispenser. It was inexpensive and easy to install. I know you said you don't really want one hanging in your bathroom but in all honesty it solves the issue easily.
I have also seen providers use dispensers that sit on the counter top too as well as providers that simply supply a hand towel to EACH child. At the end of the day, take the hand towels and launder for a fresh start the next day.
Most state laws require single use or one hand towel PER child laundered daily.

Each child I has their own handtowel (washcloth) that I switch out every day. I use these.... https://www.amazon.com/Lwestine-Extr.../dp/B0761LW38H

I have a Georgia Pacific multi fold paper towel dispenser mounted on my wall. It was under $20 and I order a case of the towels about every 6 weeks for $22. In my state we can not have community towels.
I love it. Wish I had one in my family bath as well.

I also use washcloths. I bought several bundles at Walmart, and I keep them stacked in a basket on the bathroom counter. There’s a bin under the counter where they toss them after drying their hands. It works well.
