My hubby recently had surgery. Instead of buying the expensive gauzes and tapes for changing bandages, use panty liners or thin maxi pads, keeping the paper on the sticky side. Use roll tape from a pharmacy to hold in place. The panty liners are like $2.00 a box of 20, versus $10 for 2 plastic bandages.

If you need just a little padding in your shoe where there might be an irritant, place a panty liner in the shoe. Works great!
Use them as dress shields. I was looking on a website that sells all sorts of girly products. They had disposable dress shields that are applied to the underarm area of a garment to prevent sweat stains.
While helping put together a rummage sale, we came across a pair of ladies high heeled shoes. We cleaned the shoes of any paper, so the possible buyer could easily slip the shoes on checking for comfort.
