Best to stick to plain white toilet tissue, shredded & lots of it! kleenex type tissues are ok if they have nothing added to them but they don't break down so easily if swallowed, try putting a piece of each in a small amount of water to see how easily they break down to see. I wouldn't use kitchen towel it's too thick.
Substrate should be 15-20 cm deep & no they won't suffocate under it!
