Sometimes, even in an emergency where someone is bleeding and you can't find a bandage anywhere, and your clothes aren't the best option for several reasons, you scavenge over your purse for an ideal absorbent equivalent, and find, a pack of menstrual pads. The recipient would either be squicked about it or make an effort to shrug it off, as you continue to search for a strip of fabric for a sling. In a sense, any item that could be used as bandages like tissue paper, sticks to make splints, oars for crutches, or tampons for nosebleeds, or cold beverages for burns and booze for antiseptics could also work as a temporary first aid before you call for emergency services. Worst Aid can occur if the one treating has no experience or if the quality of the bandage isn't up to par. A Super-Trope of From Dress to Dressing, There Will Be Toilet Paper, and Beef Bandage. Not to be confused with Instant Bandages. If it's an impressive DIY contraption, it may overlap with MacGyvering. |

It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia: spoofed by Frank, who occasionally thinks he can fix various wounds by packing them with garbage (including his broken nose and cuts from his toe knife). It never works and usually makes things worse for obvious reasons. | |

Dragon Age: Inquisition: Discussed in background chatter in Haven. An older nun tells her younger companion that if they run out of bandages just start tearing up shirts, because if the Inquisition can afford fancy new uniforms then they can afford bandages. | |

Subverted in A Little Hint of Blue when Viney sends Skara to find a bandage after Fled gets a cut on his arm. The only thing she's able to find is her handkerchief, which Viney immediately shoots down on the basis something that you use to blow your nose shouldn't go anywhere near an open wound. | |

Star Trek: The Original Series: A mysterious alien creature has been menacing some Federation miners, and Captain Kirk and First Officer Spock investigate. When they encounter the creature, it ignores warnings to stay back, so they fire phasers at it. The creature is wounded and retreats. Later, the pair discover the creature is intelligent and menaced the miners to protect its eggs. A silicone-based spackling compound is used to patch the creature's wound, and its hatchlings start digging tunnels faster than the miners ever could. | |

Steel Rain. There's an Assassination Attempt on the ruler of North Korea as he's attending the opening of a Chinese-built toy factory. Two factory workers and a loyal security agent load their Glorious Leader into the back of a van filled with panda plushies and race off before the rebel troops can move in to finish the job. As he's bleeding out, they use a plushie to staunch his wound. | |

In Warrior Cats, the Clans — being feral cats and without access to modern medicine — use cobwebs as bandages, which was inspired by the real-life historical use of spiderwebs in wound treatment. In Tigerclaw's Fury, when Tigerclaw is unable to find the usual cobwebs to bandage his wounds, he has to look for anything in the forest that will work to staunch the bleeding: first, he searches for moss and ultimately settles for leaf mulch. | |

Hey Arnold!: In "Veteran's Day", Gerald's father tells of the time he served in the Vietnam War, not as a soldier, but as an office worker. One day, while driving across an abandoned battlefield, he saw a wounded soldier lying on the ground and, not having any medical tools on hand, used some papers from his briefcase to patch his wounds until paramedics could find him. Later, they end up meeting that very soldier, who credits Martin with saving his life. | |

Towards the end of Short Circuit 2, Johnny is "bleeding" battery acid after nearly being beaten to death by some thugs after they've tricked him into helping their robbery. Fred Ritter (who'd previously tried to sell Johnny to a company) finds him and sacrifices his prized silk shirt to staunch it. | |
