One More Use For Panty-Liners.
Guys, meaning, those of the male persuasion, listen up-this post is for you too. Panty-liners aren’t just for those carefree days of feminine needs. No, you read that right-I have found another use for panty-liners.
Ever been in a situation where you need something and fast, but have no option but to use a substitute? This happened to me tonight. I decided to give myself a pedicure, a long overdue pedicure, so I get out the foot scraper, (you know- the contraption for dead skin “removal”, sharp blade with a plastic handle that could peel a carrot in one swoop), the pumice stone, a towel and foot cream. Heaven if someone else is scraping your feet, doing it yourself forces you into contorted positions you weren’t aware you could get into to begin with. Soaked my footsies to prepare, laid a towel on the floor and commenced scraping. After a winter of no pedicures- the amount of dead skin I scraped off could have been used to create a new person. With that aside, as I was scraping, I sneezed. I sneezed hard holding a razor blade on a stick while scraping my left foot with my right hand. Bottom of heel sliced- worse than any cut I’ve had shaving my legs-and that’s saying a lot.
“Ok a band-aid is not going to work on the bottom of my foot-I have no bandages, or gauze and a wash cloth will only allow it to bleed through. Think Beth, think.”
Bingo. Panty-liner. I hobble to the bathroom trying not to get blood on the carpet or the tiled floor in the hall, grab a Carefree non-scented panty-liner and begin the bandaging process. Scotch tape-check. Foot on pad-check. Tape ready to attach and wrap-check. Haha! It works. Although I do recommend using duct, or electrical tape- I’ll have to change the tape before I go to bed. But the fact of the matter- I survived and as I type this I’m not the least bit embarrassed that I’m sitting here with a panty-liner taped to the bottom of my foot.
Haha, that’s another good way to use panty liners
Oh no, that must’ve hurt! Glad you found a bandaging solution, haha.
What the?? You GOTS to be careful doing things like this. Luckily I have one those contraptions that won’t cut the bottom of my feet lol
Anywhoo, I tagged you for a meme cuz I’m nice like that.
Thanks for the great idea, unfortunately I’d have passed out is that was my foot… LOL.
I’m such a sissy for pain, or blood, I can’t handle it at all…
I once cut my finger with a tuna can, and after nearly fainting, I sat on the floor, trying to keep myself from puking for nearly an hour.
Needless to say, when my boyfriend got home, he was very shocked at first, but then just laughed at me…
I am yelling ouch for you.. goodness that had to hurt like hell..
I’ve never heard of anyone scraping the dead skin off their feet… Why would you do such a thing?
too funny….but a great tip!
You all have NO idea how painful it was that night. It isn’t sore now since I’ve been putting antibiotic cream on it and a huge band aid-but it was worse than cutting my leg shaving. But hey, the panty liner worked perfect. I was surprised at how much it bled!
Just lucky that u have a non-scented one. Otherwise it will be quite unhygienic.
I’m glad you are OK. I’ve done that before and it’s awful.
Hey, here’s another use for you – packaging padding. Preferably if you are sending a package to a friend with a good sense of humor.
Ack! This makes twice today that I’ve said “It’s gotta suck to be a chick.” With all that crap you go through I’d have blown my brains out long ago.

Now that was quick thinking!

I hope you’ll check it out.

btw…I hope your foot is feeling better
This is another great idea! Though I may not have used my pantyliner to stop a bleeding foot, I have used a tiny tampon to fix a bleeding nose
ouch !!!! ionce cut my palm on a can of dog food..my husband freaked out.there was blood everywhere. ran to my r.r and got an always pad. and that baby absorbed……
Now, there’s another use for pantyliners. Great. Just as what I have seen from a movie “She’s the Man”… tampons are used to stop nosebleeds. Haha!
Great article. I will have to see if my gf has any of those things lying around the house. lol
Too funny. My husband shaves in the shower, and he stepped out once having really nicked himself bad. He was half-way through his cup of coffee before he realized what I had handed him. Yes – he was holding a panty liner on his chin.
I’m impressed. I love it.
when my brother was little his thumb was bitten by a squirel and was bleeding profusly, so my mother wrapped a big maxi pad around it and took him to the hospital! LOL
Thanks for sharing! That cut must have hurt real bad…:)
Wow. Come to think of it panty liners are the duct tape of the feminine world.
I’d be careful not to reveal this fact to too many people.
Before you know it, Dr. Scholls will have its own line of feminine hygiene products.
Ha, this is funny, but i winced a bit when thinking about the pain of that cut!
Nice, never done it, but will try my best for it, lol
Good idea!Useing pantyliner to stop a bleeding foot could apply for a patent.HEHE.
yikes, I even get squeamish reading about someone getting injured, who’d have thought shaving legs could be potentially dangerous, I think a bikini wax might be a safer option
thanks for this good article
thanks great read, Also your site looks excellent, ive tried my hand at design but without luck.
Nice post! Thanks for your share.
Good idea, this would be great for any type of large injury….I will remember this!
he he this was interesting. I think the more stuff one can use a thing for then the better it is !
Anyone can use pantyliners for any reason. They are also quite good every day to protect your underwear. Underwear stays new much longer.
Years ago, I was studying first aid and told by Red Cross to always carry pads in the car truck and these could be used as blood-stopping compresses, should the situation arise at the seen of an auto accident and you do first aid.
Panties are nicer to wear than regular men’s underwear. I’m a guy and have been hooked on nylons for ever!
