Today, I had to explain to my little brother that my pads were not in fact "big band-aids" and that he should probably remove them from his legs. FML

I can't help wondering how old your little brother is.

Not so bad an idea, apparently american marines and recon guys stock up on pads and tampons for wounds. Tampons seal up bullet holes real well and pads act as great non stick emergency wound patches.

That is why they say to change them every eight or so hours. It is the blood accumulation, not the cotton swab, that created TSS. Old blood is poisonous. It would be fine.

Not if part of the "imagination" has been used.

My niece did the exact same thing like a week ago

actually in some first aid situations pads are exstreamly usefull and normally pretty clean a friend fell off a horse and had a deep gash in his leg the pad and vet wrap heald it till he got it stitched up.

They kind of are big band aids, only they're sticky on the wrong side

Innocent imagination... OP, let him believe...
