You can use them to wrap the bodies of dead people who drowned out at sea.
you can use it as a cake towel. much like a diaper cake but instead of a diaper you use the towel as a substitute
Towel can be used as replacement for blanket in cold conditions and can also be used as “sling” for broken arm.
Towels double as blankets! Or picnic blankets!

A towel is first and foremost valuable to dry yourself after a nice bath or shower.
I always carry a towel when roaming in new unfamiliar territory like a beach, hill, farm or street to be my shield against the heat, sun,rain, wind or cold. It is my “weapon” on hand against unfriendly animals like dogs who will not respond positively to my friendly gestures. For misbehaving individuals like drinkers or bullies, a big towel can be used as a “straight jacket” to contain him. You can use it as for cooking also to fan the charcoal or when building a fire using woods and other similar materials.
For those who want to hide and run away from collectors, your wife or girlfriends and even, paparazzi if you are a celebrity, a big towel is a handy tool to cover yourself, if you are lucky and do not get caught.
A towel can even be used to advertise or promote a cause/advocacy by putting your photo and message on it.
A towel is an excellent life-saving device that should be part of everyone’s emergency kit. A towel may then be used as/for:
- drying (water/blood, other fluids);
- stability for broken limbs (when rolled like a log or looped around the neck like a sling or wrapped around the broken limb then secured with duct tape);
- elevation for wounds and bleeding (when rolled like a log);
- comfort like a pillow (when rolled like a log);
- assault/defense (if filled with heavy material like pebbles or flicked against bare flesh with a wetted tip) – added benefit is that it doesn’t leave obvious contusions;
- covering if wrapped like a malong or skirt or tube dress;
- carrying (with the material or a child wrapped securely within the folds then the ends tied like a handle); and,
- safe breathing (when used to cover both nose and mouth in a smoke-filled area while seeking a suitable escape route or to stuff into gaps between doors or windows to stop smoke intrusion when the towel is wet).
towels?? para sa’kin, ihahanda ko na yan pag kaharap ko na si pacman sa loob ng boxing ring to signal na susoko na ako sa laban, 1st round pa lang.. lol.
i use the towel to cover my myself from the heat of the sun or from getting wet in the rain when i buy something from a nearby store..its handy
Towels are not only for drying, life saving, defense on heat and cold, defense tool & etc… to me it spared on spending for my daughter’s costome in a united nations parade, I wrapped the beach towel on her body and one in her head then wallaah!! instant costome she even won a special prize for it, see how very useful and creative you can be,towels can be used in fashion too.
Aside from the obvious reasons of utilizing towels, I kinda used mine to save face. Hehehe. I once had this light violet towel that I used to cover a “red stain” on my soft blue-colored skirt. The red stain was from a spilled catsup I sat on while dining in McDo. I wouldn’t mind sporting it up as it was but it looked like I had those bad feminine days. Used my towel by clipping one corner on top and letting the other 2 sides pinned covering the stain. It looked weird but the colors kinda matched up.

wrap around your head like a turban, steal a scooter, start a 5-6 business.
towels are always there when you need them.
WHen you were just a boy, you thought you were Superman and used it as a cape.
When you were a teen and realized you were a ‘girl’, you thought you were Ariel and used it as a fish tail.
When you reach 20, you realized you were not getting any younger and joined a beauty contest and used it as a prop in the swimsuit category.
when you reach your adult life, you are starting to get bald and used it as a turban.
When crying moments get tough and deeper, I always have my towel beside me.
If large and soft enough, I can use it to improvise a cushion/comforter for my baby’s crib.
Roll it up and use it as a pillow.
I’ve always dreamt of traveling to Japan. With a towel, I can wear it as a loin cloth (or mawashi) to go Sumo wrestling. Hehehe.
Towels? What more creative way to use it after you-know-what is done. It’s a good thing to clean up the messy s….thing!
Creative way to use a towel — not use it at all! WOOT! >D No, seriously.
When your a beach fanatic like me then its a must to bring a huge towel before you go to a beach, a towel has many purposes, for me one of its important pupose is that it protects you from the heat of the sand, just lay it over the sand and lie down. its a very relaxing feeling to just lay down on a beach.
A creative way to use a towel is that it is a good cover for a swimsuit specially when your not yet going for a swim.
simple……
i use towels sometimes as a props….
like dancing with matching ethnic music…..
sometimes towels for me is a costume for our drama play in our school……

Towel is very useful when you go to beach, you can lay the towel on the sand to make bed and when you like to be dry your body after an enjoyable swimming, then you can use your towel. People can live without towel, it is useful when you take a bath…

there was this one time when i went to south cotabato for a presscon. in the evening i tagged along with my student to go and buy food. we looked everywhere its just that there’s no store nearby so we’ve reached a fastfood chain (jollibee) inside a mall (kcc in marbel).i was just wearing ordinary clothes for the night and i was carrying my spiderman towel with me and everybody is staring at me while i enter the mall i just wrapped it around my body like a cloak much like a big sarong since people in mindanao used to wear sarongs mine is just a little different. i really don’t mind them and strut my stuff along the queue infront of the counter to make orders. then when we went home we rode along a tricycle and let it wave along the wind while singing much like how an artist would emote in a music video he he
then there was this stage play my students put-up where i had a cameo role. i needed to wear something different so i took my big black towel with gray and while flame design and wrapped it around my body then put a belt on my waist it looked like a short japanese kimono he he 
Use it as the ever-present seat when there are no more benches in the park!
During our high school Citizen’s Military Training (CAT) bivouac in 1976, we wrapped dozens of boiled eggs in my one and only bath towel to keep the eggs hot/warm for midnight snack as we enjoyed a night-long camp fire.
These days towels are often used by Police departments to hide the faces of dreaded criminals while escorting them to the law courts!
I use 2 towels every time I shower. A thick big towel for my body and a thin smaller one for my hair.
i love turning a nice towel into a “hammock” and lay my kid on it and make him “swing” he loves it! and his smile makes the effort worth it!
having 3kids ages 5,3 & 2yrs. old is so hard especially in times where I have to visit them to their lolos and lolas,the big bag with lots of stuffs inside where often times I forgot to pack in their jackets and other stuffs to protect my kids from what we call “hamog” it’s always their towels I substitute for…
i often taking a bath at night so after using the towel to dry my self I’ll hang the towel till its dry then after im going to use it as a blanket hehe
I once attended a seminar on play therapy. The speaker emphasized that the ultimate goal is to encourage self-discovery through active imagination. With this in mind, I think a towel is the perfect tool that can facilitate setting up the backdrop of the child?s play. I was ?playing? with my niece at the beach once and while we are stepping inside a hug fluffy white towel, she imagined the ice queen with her ice castle taking a tropical vacation.
basta me, pangtapis ko sa girl friend pero may embroidered na byahilo.com, whick will make it look like a tennis outfit. then sasakay kami ng jeep,or go to a mall with her wearing only that para maglaway lahat ng boys, at the same time get envious of me and my sexy lady. Merry Xmas byahilo friends!
Towels can be creatively use as pillows during travels,a cover cloth for your stinky socks,and most of all curtain to small windows specially when you are with your girlfriend.
when i was little, i remember facing the mirror with my towel on me, wrapped at different angles. i often said to myself that one day i’m gonna design a fashion collection inspired by towels. at that age, the most creative i’ve gone far is a roman toga! lol. too bad i landed in the accounting field, not in the fashion design arena.
mahilig ako mag suot ng towel lalong lalo na pag naliligo ako sa ilog, dahil yan na ang kinalakihan ko, kahit walang ibang saplot basta may towel solve na, kaya pag uwi ko sa probensya sure na sikat na naman ako because I used HAVAIANAS towel the newest towel in the country today.
One of the simplest ways to add color to your bathroom is by using a variety of towels. While hanging towels over a towel rack is nice, consider trying something a little different and creative to really catch the eye. For example, buy an inexpensive wine rack that holds four to six bottles of wine. This should be a rack that can be set on a counter and not take up too much space. Get one small hand towel for each wine bottle opening in the rack. These can be towels of all different colors or towels in a similar color scheme. Just choose whatever will look the nicest in your bathroom. Fold each towel lengthwise in half and then roll the towel up starting from one end going to the opposite end. Place each towel in the rack in a similar manner to how you would place wine in the rack. For a more elaborate look, tie a decorative bow or ribbon onto the rack. Place the rack on your vanity or other area of the bathroom where you have extra space.

Such a big towel can be used to give my children one big group bath and drying session. That way I only need one towel every time — saves water, saves detergent, saves money, saves the environment. I hit so many birds in one stone it’s just too incredible for words…
Based on some personal anecdotes, I saw some women use umbrellas to hide themselves when taking a leak in the “talahibs” or behind trees specially during long trips in provinces. Well, why not use a colorful towel instead. It gets the job done while being funky and fashionable at the same time. Wihihihi!

I always carry a clean towel from home when I travel and put it over my “pillow” for the night so I am sure that my face won’t have allergies or pimples when I wake up. You never know if they wash the pillowcovers properly or what’s materials are inside the pillow especially if you’re looking for the cheapest place just to sleep after a whole day of adventure. =)

towels are must-haves when traveling especially with a little kid. you can use it as a pillow, a blanket, baby sling (if extra large), play mat, picnic mat, a seat and an improvised toy/costume/props to relieve kids of their boredom.
Use it as props. I’ll take a picture of myself lying sideways on a beach towel, in a swim suit, wearing shades and holding a glass of cold iced tea. upload picture to the computer and you can state any name of beach resort you want. for added effect, include a beach ball, a big umbrella that looks like a beach umbrella and/or have a nice bag beside you packed with sunblock lotion, beach shorts and other things you would bring if you are going to a beach resort.
You can use it as costumes for play or for videos:)
i soak my towel in icy-cold water and have my body wrapped in it under the scorching rays of the sun
For Christmas, I’d use towels for Furoshiki, the Japanese art of gift wrapping using cloth, to wrap my gifts to friends and family. Not only are these towel/cloth wrapping elegant, they are also reusable and saves the environment unnecessary paper gift wrap waste!
Furoshiki methods
Towels are normally used to dry our skin and wrap our bodies after baths or a swim but it may also be used to warm us during cold temperatures. There’s no limit in the use of a towel, all we need is creativity ♥
towels are my everyday emergency bestfriend. it’s a wet-absorbing material – you can use it as an emergency diaper for your kids or napkin for those unguarded moments.
towels give me warmth in the coldness of the night or gives me protection from ultraviolet rays of the sun. towels give me the comfort that i need every time i need a pillow, blanket or mat to hug and touch with. towels are also a good camouflage material for hiding anything in your body or hiding from those you don’t like to see or if you don’t want to be recognized by people. i also use if i don’t have a bra or underwear or just to cover my extra fats. last but certainly the most important one is that towels are your first and foremost BIG tears-and-goo-absorber every time you have those down and out moments of your life. you see towels are a part of my life. i can’t imagine my life without them. i love my towels! 
Got any idea in proposing marriage to someone you love?
Banners are worn out….
Roses are too expensive to be written into words so as the balloons….
We can always use alternatives for making your proposal a unique one. Use something which you already have, something that you can borrow from your friends, neighbor and anyone, use TOWELS in forming the words “WILL YOU MARRY ME?”….a very affrodable and accessbile way to make your proposal creative and full of effort..
Summer is coming…you can use colorful and bright towels just like the havaianas towel.This gimmick is a sure hit especially when you will ask your girl on the peak of summer while you’re on the beach…
uhmmm..many people…yet many will appreciate your effort..^_^
I can use towels for paddings for my butt.
for me towels can be used in a practical way as a cover when raining or sun striking your face. and can also be used creatively as a towel wrap differently in your head.
fold the towel lengthwise
fold the endings as if its an earmuff. and voila!
I could wax poetic about the virtues of towels but it won’t do it a bit of justice. Suffice it to say that going without a towel is like going without a skin. Nothing to protect us with against the wet, the heat and anything in between. Not only are towels practical, it can even be fashionable by wearing it in a variety of styles and colors. So forget about pricey wraps and sarongs and go instead for the more practical and yet infinitely useful — towels.
Be you!
But in case you do something really stupid, make sure you got your Havainas towel with you to (a) cover your face with, and (b) cry on while you bawl your heart out of shame.
Cheers!
you can use it as a cradle

hmmmmm, after the long walk you have enjoyed during the holiday seasons u can roll the towel to elevate your legs to avoid varicose veins.
I’ll shape the towel like a pole and tie it up vertically on the ceiling in the middle of the room. Out from the bathroom i’ll dry myself swinging using the towel ala-Tarzan or the ladies can do pole dancing with it while i watch.
towels can be used as a makeshift turban or sarong..
Towels make good nappy cake gifts for newborns and moms-to-be who almost had everything. I normally use a big towel to form as a cake base then make bouquets out of smaller ones to mix and match.

I once used a towel as a flag in our camp. The towel I used was very light but very good in absorbing water.
I still used it anyway. There will be another camp very soon and guess what? I might have a new flag to display!
i sometimes use midsized colorful towels as extra-special gift wrappers for difficult-to-wrap presents, using furoshiki techniques i learned as an exchange student in japan. just take your oddly-shaped gift, tie a towel around it with the appropriate set of steps, and there you go!
