Inexpensive and works great even for swimming
I tripped and fell on a hiking trail and scraped a bunch of skin off the front of my shin. I swim regularly and I didn't want to have to take weeks out of the pool for it to heal. This product solved that problem. I cut a nonstick pad to the size of the wound and then cut this waterproof dressing about half an inch larger on each side. The dressing is extremely thin and sticks really well to the skin, not rolling up at the corners at all. I found it easy to apply by first cutting it to size, then removing the covering over the adhesive face, attaching the dressing and pressing it down on all sides, and finally removing the backing on the non-adhesive face. It holds up just fine through 40 minutes of swimming and appears waterproof. Removing it takes a bit of effort to get it started by sliding a fingernail under one corner, but once I get one corner up the rest of it pulls off pretty easily with almost no pain even on very delicate skin. I initially bought Tegaderm dressings from my local Walgreens and those also worked fine, but I prefer the Dimora dressing as it's thinner and more comfortable, and also about ten times cheaper!
