Nexcare Max Hold Waterproof Bandages Stays On for 48 Hours Flexible Bandages for Fingers Knees and Heels -

The Nexcare-brand MAX HOLD, waterproof bandages are GREAT!! I have them in several sizes. They really DO HOLD very well, very waterproof, and are flexible/bendable. Also, the color sort of blends in, so not too noticeable on caucasian skin. Some reviewers say they're too hard to remove or that they irritate skin, but I have not had any problem. As long as they're placed on rather flat parts of the body, I can SWIM in them & a wound stays dry. Be careful when you consider size. The box's given dimensions are for the very outside of the sticky film of the bandage, not for the padded part -- and their shape is unusual. In general they seem smaller than typical bandaids. Never the less - I really love these bandages. Good to keep in the car or in a wallet. Read more

The bandaids are very good. The sticky parts are actually sticky. Once it's on your skin, correctly, it doesn't peel off as easily as other bandaids. The waterproof function is a nice added touch. Overall, great product. Would purchase again but the quantity is sufficient to last a while. It's a great price per quantity too. Read more

Good value but it is hard for adhesive to adhere to skin Read more

Fantastic bandages that stay on and protect for days. My complaint is the deceiving claimed measurements: L x W x H 1.5 x 4 x 3.94. Who can understand that? The pictures are very deceiving. They are not that size. These might be for a toe or knuckle. The actual size of the bandage that covers the wound is about 3/4" wide and 1 1/4" long. So you spend a fortune trying to find the right size for what you need. It should not be that difficult to figure out the correct size bandage you need. Why make it hard? Tip: If you have tender skin remove with olive oil or it will tear your skin. Be sure to remove all traces of the oil before re-applying bandage. Read more

It’s really more of a 4.5. My partner has oily skin and nothing, and I mean nothing, sticks to him for long. Clean with alcohol prior and everything. This is literally the only thing that works. It survives Brazilian juijitsu, working outdoors, sitting for long hours in the car, etc. The only issue is, you have to be very careful when removing it. This is not the type of bandage you remove all at once. You need some lotion to massage it off or you risk irritating or tearing (if you have sensitive skin like my partner) the skin. It will definitely hold all day though so it’s a fair trade off. PS still have to clean with alcohol prior or it doesn’t stick, so if you have oily skin so that first Read more

Best protectio that stays in place through all day washing of hands! Best Protection, no replacing bandaid everytime it gets wet so you save money . Keeps dirt and germs out till you remove it. Won't use saying else now. Read more

I have some nexcare bandaids I purchased a few years ago, I believe they are regular hold and they hold up really well. Well I recently had to get stiches and decided to give the nexcare max hold bandages a try. They are 100% max hold lol, they're actually hard to remove. The sticky part almost becomes flesh with your skin. Aside from the fact that it's shiny it's actually a bit hard to determine where the edge of the bandage is, to even grab in order to remove. I did not keep it on for 48 hours , just 24 hours . I took a shower with it on and it's almost as if taking a shower (or moisture) actually amplifies the hold. It's just important to ensure you apply the Bandaid correctly. For example don't put anything greasy or oily in the space you intend for the bandage to stick. If you apply ointment just make sure you apply it only to the wound but not the edges where the sticky part of the bandage will rest. I'm going to try leaving one on for 48 hours to see if it gets easier to remove with a bit more time. I'm feeling a bit lucky the area around my wound is numb lol because otherwise I'm not sure if it would have been painful to remove the bandage (because it truly holds really well) Read more

I love these! I actually d I nt use them for the water but I use them for volleyball. I am a coach and have a lot of need for bandaid, these are the only ones that stay in place and are sweatproof! All other bandaid do t make it through a game, but these make it through a whole day of games and stay on. Read more
