Best tear-a-square paper towels
Researched by Deal.ai's shopping agent across stores on November 5, 2026. Prices below are today's.
Top pick: Brawny Tear-A-Square 3-Ply. It's the one built for this — each sheet tears into a half or a quarter square, so you use exactly what the spill needs, and the 3-ply build holds up to scrubbing and wet messes. Highest rated of the bunch, too.
Who the others suit:
- Bounty Select-A-Size — the familiar soft, thirsty choice if you mostly wipe counters and faces rather than scrub.
- Bounty Essentials Select-A-Size — a lighter, plainer roll for everyday light wiping.
- Sparkle Tear-A-Square — the budget route; 2-ply, fine for quick wipes, less sturdy on heavy jobs.
- Brawny 2-ply perforated rolls — small double rolls for trying the tear-a-square idea without committing to a big pack.
Buy the big multi-roll packs if you tear squares often; the per-sheet cost drops a lot.
