What to do with old leggings?

Hi I was having a clear out recently and got rid of a lot of old leggings. They were the cheapo sort that you have to buy about 10 sizes up if you don't want to show the world your pants and these were a few pairs I bought before I realised that :eek:
Anyhoo I was listing most stuff on ebay but figured no one in their right mind would want these! I know I could use them for cleaning, ect but wondered if anyone had any tips that they specifically like to do with leggings
TIA

They could be really useful as "thermal underwear" if we had another really cold winter.If you've have not made a mistake, you've made nothing0

Slobbing around the house ... until they fall apart or you're too embarrassed.... beyond that, cut them into thin strips and use them to stuff a nice cushion cover rather than forking out to buy a cushion pad.0

Use them to stuff draught excludes for your doors.
Do you grow onions? Could maybe store them in leggings,we used to use old tights many moons ago. Onion in the toe, tie a knot,next onion,knot all the way up.
Make a kneeling pad stuffed with them.Fully paid up member of S.A.B.L.E.

I don't know, there's a lot of weirdos on ebay - just look at the market for well-worn shoes!0 -
I use them as arm tights. Great for wearing under sleeveless tops and short sleeve tops in the winter.
So much cheaper than Mary Portas' version!0
