    Aspen or news paper? Majority vote

    I see a lot of people in videos on you tube using news paper. I however use aspen. Would I be better off going with news paper? I could see it saving me a little bit of money. Not too worried about it though. More curious to see what the majority of people are using.
    So please leave a comment of what you use and why u think its better then the other.

    Papertowels. Absorbent, and easy to clean.

    I vote aspen. It gives a nice texture to rub against when shedding, holds humidity decently (something of a problem in AZ), and is more aesthetically pleasing.
