Young Brunette Girl Sunbathing With Sunglasses On The Beach With A Towel In The Sand

• In boxing or other combat sports, a fighter's corner man 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 rally towels are handed out to fans to wave around to cheer on their team.
• A towel may also be used during a massage. Usually to cover up the buttocks (for a back massage) or any other private part, on the human body.
