Guess what this is

[donaud]

undies for your fingers ?

(they ARE mini undies, no?)

[stitchy]

they are sort of mini undies although they are not actually under anything and you are very close

(there is a purpose for them)

[donaud]

Cell phone or Ipod protectors ?

[stitchy]

No, your last guess was closer or should I say the idea of it was closer

[donaud]

Well, they sure look awfully small. Is this right ?

Are they worn on the (human) body, somewhere ?

[stitchy]

they are about 3.5 inches wide when flat, so the waistband is about 7 inches in diameter.

Yes, they are worn on the (human) body, somewhere.

[donaud]

they are about 3.5 inches wide when flat

that would make the diameter less than 3 1/2", no ?

errr... this IS G-rated, i hope !!

Now wait a minute !!

You said "waistband"

[Crimsonthread]

I think the circumference must be 7", not the diameter.

Uh... weird gloves? Some odd form of handcuffs?

[stitchy]

Thanks Crimson, you are right, the circumference, it's been 30 some years since I dealt with geometry, I apologize. Thanks for the help there!

Donaud, I should have put "waistband" in quotes. I thought we established they were "mini underwear", so with that as given, I assumed you would know to that which I was referring.

[Crimsonthread]

I think we need another hint.

[stitchy]

You know that it's something worn on the human body. So far there has only been three guesses that involved the human body and none of them involved the right body parts.

[donaud]

I have had this picture in my head of these "worn" on your index and middle fingers (let your fingers do the walking-style).

Not sure of the purpose, or what the market would be on THOSE !!

[stitchy]

hahaha! You are actually very close, but different body part!

[donaud]

All I got, then, is TOES... but I can't make sense of it.

[Crimsonthread]

I found a forum discussing foot underwear, which go under your socks and are completely pointless, but I can't find a picture of a pair.
