Somewhere in the depths of this forum there’s a reference to keeping the disposable pillowcases (provided in some albergues) to use as a mat in showers. In Ponte de Lima albergue, where no bed covers are provided, a very experienced French pilgrim in the next bed calmly slipped one onto her pillow, while the rest of us tried various unsuccessful ways of covering ours. They were very slippery pillows. She told me that she always carried one with her and found it useful for many things.
I kept my next disposable pillow case and used it as an auxiliary towel. It worked as well as my expensive pack towel. Intrigued, I took it home and weighed it. 12 grams, less than half an ounce. I washed it. It stayed intact and dried very quickly.
Does anyone else keep and use theirs? What other uses might they have?
