Yeah, I do the paper towel thing too. They never go anywhere but on the towels... the bonus is also that you can clean them up every day and have fresh paper down for them. I do it numerous times a day depending on how messy they are. I did use litter pans for awhile, but even if you spot cleaning the poops, you'd be surprised how much the urine smells after even a day. I know I wouldn't want to sleep with that smell around, so I'm using something that can be changed out regularly and cheaply.
