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!

These were PERFECT after my laparoscopy! These were the perfect size, they did not pull the skin when removed. I am also super sensitive to adhesive and these did not irritate my skin. I would highly recommend! Read more
Great for covering and treating wounds. Seems to speed up the healing process. But you definitely have to make sure that the area surrounding the wound is completely clean and dry. Otherwise, the adhesive will not stick to your skin. Definitely waterproof if applied correctly. Read more
I became allergic to some adhesives after having surgery last Autumn. I haven’t been in to get patch testing done with my allergist (that’s coming in the near future) so I don’t know exactly what adhesives I’m allergic to. I just have to do things by trial and error right now. So far the only thing that doesn’t cause very itchy ulceration of my skin is tegaderm. While searching for tegaderm, this product came up. It is not like tegaderm. I mistakenly thought it was and was really happy to find something with an absorbent pad. Unfortunately I had a terrible reaction to the adhesive that is still healing several days later. It ulcerated my skin quite significantly unfortunately. I gave it 4 stars because it did adhere really well and was waterproof. It seemed more like a clear bandaid type bandage rather than tegaderm as far as material. It did what it said it would as far as adhesion and waterproofing; it just wasn’t the right product for me and my allergy. Read more

DO NOT GET IF YOU HAVE SENSITIVE SKIN!!! I’ve used other brands of second skin and haven’t had issues I put this on and a day later I have a ring of large blisters around the second skin area. If you don’t have sensitive skin go for it, it sticks on great. Read more
