Abstract: A multi-layered napkin is provided that is designed to protect a tabletop from condensation that develops at the bottom of a beverage. The multi-layered napkin comprises three separate layers that are stacked and connected to each other. The upper layer is adapted to contact the bottom of a beverage container. The upper layer comprises a porous material that is adapted to allow condensation to pass therethrough and into the middle layer of the napkin. The middle layer comprises an absorbent construction that retains liquid that passes through from the upper layer and prevents the napkin assembly from sticking onto the underside of a beverage container. A base layer comprises a water impermeable layer with a high-friction perimeter along the underside surface thereof to prevent sliding of the assembly while in use, and to further facilitate separation of the napkin assembly from a drinking container when the container is lifted.
