So you're nearly complete with the dreaded Diaper Change. The dirty diaper has been disposed of; the baby's bottom is clean. All that's left is to put a clean diaper on its bottom. But oops, there aren't any clean diapers available. What are you going to do? After all, you don't want the baby to have an accident all over your nice clean floors. The Answer? Find the nearest available fabric or paper and wrap it around the baby's bottom. A bit of MacGyvering will probably be necessary to keep this jury-rigged diaper in place. Despite your attempt to be safe from a bathroom mishap, this DIY solution is unlikely to hold back the mess... A Sub-Trope of Improvised Clothes. This trope is most often used when the caretaker is taking care of a child under the age of three years old and has little to no experience in changing diapers, particularly if the caretaker is a male. Overlaps with Wearing It All Wrong if another piece of clothing is used as a diaper. |

The pilot episode of Full House involves Uncle Jesse and Joey changing Michelle's diaper at one point. After putting the dirty diaper in Tupperware and cleaning Michelle's bottom with a sink spray and a fan, they are unable to find any clean diapers, but they do find some paper towels and a bag.

In the The Loud House short, "No End in Bite", Lynn Jr. changes Lily's diaper, but since she ran out of clean diapers, she uses the last page of Lucy's Vampires of Melancholia book as a diaper, prompting Lucy to think up her own ending to the book. At the end of the short, Lynn Jr. gets Lucy a new copy of the book from the library, provided Lucy changes Lily's next diaper. Lucy reads the book, and decides she likes her ending better. | |

Rugrats: In "Regarding Stuie", in a rare example not part of a diaper change, when Stu gets amnesia and thinks he is a baby, the Rugrats find a sheet hanging on a clothesline and put it on over Stu's pants. A straight example occurs "Chuckie Vs. The Potty", where Lil suggests to Chuckie to stuff a lot of napkins in his pants and use them like a diaper in order to avoid being potty trained. Although it isn't seen, Chuckie mentions he tried that method. |

In Shoot 'Em Up, a newspaper is used by Mr. Smith and DQ as a diaper for the baby. In fairness to them, they're more immediately concerned with keeping the baby alive than with diaper shopping. | |

In Dragon Ball Z, at one point Bulma must change baby Trunks while on the run from the androids. With only Gohan and Yajirobe around and no supplies at hand, she takes the latter's scarf and diapers her son. It's confirmed in a later scene that Trunks made use of it, right as an angry Yajirobe is shown furiously washing his scarf. | |

Charmed (1998): The sisters briefly take in an infant who's being hunted by a ghost. Prue does have enough sense to get a large pack of diapers, but—not knowing anything about childcare—doesn't realize they come in different sizes. Luckily, neighbor Dan the Handyman comes through and turns a dishtowel into a diaper, significantly impressing Piper. | |
