Alternative uses of Towel
 

To sit, lie and stand on, to avoid direct contact with the ground, sand, rock, chair, etc. This may be for hygiene and comfort, and in saunas or other places where nudity is common.

Barbers use steamed towels to prepare the skin for shaving.

To reserve seats, for example sunloungers, by the side of swimming pools or similar locations (a source of annoyance to some and amusement to others).

A towel can act as a make-shift garment or blanket. There is a variety of uses when a towel is applied in this manner. For example, the towel can be used as an extra layer of clothing for cold conditions; or can be worn on its own around the waist (similarly to a kilt or skirt) or just under the shoulders (similarly to a long dress), usually in a warm environment.

In Asian countries, towels (smaller in size than hand towels - usually 30 cm square) are used as handkerchiefs. Men and women both carry them. The softness of the Turkish-type towel makes it a favourite for use.

In some cases, a towel can be used to protect its owner (as well as other people). For example, a damp towel can be used to block the gap between the door and floor to help stop noxious gases or smoke from entering the room. This is especially useful in case of a fire, where, in most cases, people die of smoke inhalation before the fire reaches them.

On cruise ships, towel animals are created for the patrons.

Towels can also be used like a whip in what is known as towel snapping.

To hold hot objects, much like an oven glove.

Towels may also be used as a head dress for wet hair.

Towels can be used as a "sling" for a broken arm.

Towels are often used for "ice blocking."

In boxing or other combat sports, a fighter's cornerman could throw a towel into the ring to concede the fighter's defeat in that match. This is called "throwing in the towel."

At sporting events, sometimes towels are handed out to fans to wave around to cheer on their team.

A slang term used to describe a douche bag.
