wiping dentures before inserting

After cleaning, what is the best way to wipe the inside of the denture.  My dentist told me to use a paper towel, is there something more absorbent or better to use.

Thank you for your post.  The adhesives all say to apply to a dry denture, the cremes that is, the powder says to rinse the denture and not dry.

The only reason to wipe the inside would be to remove debris.  There is no reason to get your denture dry at any time.  Dentures should be stored in water outside the mouth, and can seal better when put into the mouth damp.
