Store in your travel first aid kit and use for an emergency tourniquet. Use as a covering for your home-made clothes hangers so you don't snag your clothing. Wash. Tie the ends of the curly, stretchable type (that you don't need to tie), and use as a hair band.

(KC) Carry a spare in your purse, car or gym bag in case you break one. (KC) Use as an emergency belt for your child. Tie a couple together for an adult belt.
