I bought some last night and thought I would try the PJ on them, they don't absorb the PJ at all, to compressed for that, I did however discover that they can be unwrapped easily enough so you can use them dry, and as far as using them for tinder that didn't work either, I even unwrapped a little sort of like a wick and still they seem to compressed, so either use them the way they were intended or unwrap them and use them as tinder or a dry towel, which BTW is rather small.

Just my 2 cents worth
