The perfect Band-Aid! And I've tried soooo many types over the years.
Finally, a Band-Aid that gets it right on all points. I've tried so many other versions over the years. (1) the pads go the full width of the Band-Aid! On so many past versions they leave a tiny 1/16" or so strip of adhesive plastic on the side to (box marketing) "seal the wound". No, it doesn't. 20 years of trying that on various Band-Aid models and the strip always comes un-stuck, with adhesive exposed, to pick up dirt faster than normal. Complete design failure. With these they give up on that nonsense and simply run the pad out to the edges. On one past model of Band-Aids the pad was like HALF the width of the Band-Aid! What? (2) The wrapper each Band-Aid is in peels open without a hassle. With so many other types over the years I had to give up and just rip the package open. (3) The adhesive is strong enough to stick, not only to (likely damp from washing my hands) skin, but to the Band-Aid itself if I wrap it around a finger or such. On some past Band-Aid models it has been soul-crushing to get the Band-Aid out of the wrapper (not easy), get it wrapped around my bleeding finger just right, only to have the Band-Aid not stick and immediately fall off. :( (4) The flexible fabric flexes, but not too much. On at least one past Band-Aid model the fabric flexed/stretched so much it would not remain tight against the wound and, in fact, fell right off after a short period. (5) I can visually tell the difference in the 3 sizes in the box to select the right one. Want a challenge? Try that with the smallest two sizes in a Band-Aid "Skin Flex" type assortment. (6) There is an extra large size available, right here on Amazon! I've bought that too and it has all the same wonderful features. FINALLY a Band-Aid big enough for larger cuts, without being a 3"x3" gauze pad. The only issues where you might need a different type of Band-Aid are (1) waterproof - these are water-resistant but not waterproof, and (2) a much bigger or deeper wound: adhesive pads, surgical closures, or really a trip to the urgent care or ER. I also HIGHLY recommend good 'ol Bacitracin Zinc ointment over newfangled antibiotic stuff. You can get it right here on Amazon. Verdict: BUY THESE BAND-AIDS! Recommended! A++++++ Read more
