I discovered a new use for a Buff!!

How have I gotten through 41 years on this fair planet without ever having any contact with the glorious and infinitely usable thing that is a Buff?? That purrito is priceless. I wouldn't sleep well with that cat in my house after I put him in a buff.

You'd never, ever want to turn your back on him, that's for sure.

Purritos make me gassy.

When our niece was about 5 years old, she had an accident at our house. While I was washing her pants, I gave her a Buff to wear as a skirt. Needless to say she had to keep that Buff. They are versatile!

We all have buffs, myself the other half and my son. My son is growing his hair and wears his like a headband to keep it back, my other half is balding and wears it to keep his head warm and i mostly wear mine pirate style or round my neck.

Seconding or thirding the suggestion of soaking them and putting them under your helmet on a scorching day...so so nice. If you have a spare one they make a nice wrist sweatband too. Or in a pinch a bandage...been there done that!

I saw the title of this thread and thought "How many ways can we come up with to use a Buff?" Here are a few more to add to the growing collection. Anybody willing to try out how well the Buff works as:
coffee filter?
powder puff?
filled with thick paint and used as a "blotter" gadget for painting with stencils?
tourniquet?
since it works for ice cubes, it should also work to hold a heat element for soothing sore muscles without burning your skin, right?
stretched over a frame to make a small box kite?
as a stretch bandage holding a couple of sticks in place around a broken leg or arm?
dropped hanky to test a gentleman's interest? (and which would work better for that, sweaty or clean?)
fly swatter (streeeeetch, and then snap!)?
emergency replacement bar tape?
group tour guide's follow-me flag?
fish trap?

OK. That's my dozen suggestions. Not all as good as the ice pack one. I'll definitely have a use for that come summer! Still, just as a challenge: How long can we make this list? And would the manufacturer reward us for it with buffs to match the new TE jerseys?

Goodness, how can I never have encountered this miracle item before?
