I've discovered using scentfree panty liners cut to size, work out well as head liners for my many hats. Peel and stick on. Scented or otherwise, they absorb sweat from your head and help save your hat from sweat marks from salt. I also use new cheap unscented tampons with the tube applicators removed to to make grease absorbers on my small flattop griddle for bacon or other greasy producing projects. Spread them flat. The same fully oil saturated pads are also excellent for greasing your skillets or griddles or airfryers or whathaveyou. Disposal could not be easier into the trash cans or use as fire starters next outdoor fire bonfire, cookout with wood, for food or fireplace.
