Abstract

A rotating retractable device that attaches to article of clothing, fitness accessory or sporting equipment and attaching an absorbent material to the retracting cord that allows the user on demand to extend the retracting cord and absorbent material from the static position to manage perspiration on the head, neck, arms etc. while the device rotates or swivels to support a wide range of motion needed by user to engage absorbent material. Upon completion of task, user may release the absorbent material from the hand used to manage perspiration and the retracting cord retracts to the original static position at the user'"'"'s side. The 360 degree rotating mechanism allows the device and absorbent material to return to a resting orientation at user'"'"'s side until engaged again. This allows user more freedom of movement and increased concentration for activity or exercise and eliminates the need to fumble with or lose a separate absorbent material during said activities.
