There's no specific size. I prefer ones on the smallish size. The two I'm using right now are about 5 x 7" -- just the right size for a mug and if I'm snacking, a bit of food on a cocktail napkin. I've received some in swaps that are larger (up to 12 x 12"), but I tend not to use them very often as they take up too much space.

As to people mistaking them for potholders, I pin a label on mine that says:

for a “cuppa” and a snack.<O
