I had never heard of this material before (Hydrocolloid), but I finally had the chance to use these yesterday and...even though I'm still not sure EXACTLY what the material is, I can tell you I'll never be without this type of bandage again. As a matter of fact, I'll never buy traditional bandages again. These are wonderful!! The bandages came in two sizes which are each perfect in their own way, and they're made of a soft kind of material that's strong and sticky enough to stay on my skin, but at the same time easy to get off the roll because it's stuck to a piece of plastic that's wider than the bandage. SO helpful. I used a piece of the smaller sized roll to cover my heel when I went out yesterday, since I have a thing on there that usually causes me lots of pain after I spend all day with a sock and shoe on. I got to the end of the night and when I took my sock off to go to bed, I realized that not only was the bandage still on just as securely as it was when I placed it there that morning, but that I had totally forgotten it was even there. I had totally forgotten that my heel was supposed to be hurting. Again, I have no idea what this stuff is, but it's kind of wonderful. On top of all that, it didn't hurt at all when I removed the bandage. Not sure how it does that, but I'm just going to take the win. I wish I would have done my research and found this type of bandage sooner, but am very grateful to be aware of it now. Recommend. Read more
My skin is very sensitive to many of the adhesives used in bandage brands, and even many the high end expensive brands cause me to break out in an itchy rash that can take longer to heal that the initial cut I was bandaging. I've started using TKTK hydrocolloid bandages instead, and they are so much better for me. The material is thick enough that it doesn't stretch or crimp when I take it off the roll, but thin enough that it's flat against my skin. As long as my skin is freshly washed and dried when I apply it, I can keep the same piece on for two days without it peeling up around the edges. And even though it sticks tightly to my skin, it also is easy to remove without pain or further damaging the injury underneath. I love that this box comes with two rolls in two different widths so I don't need to get two boxes to get the sizes I want. There's really nothing I would change about this product and I hope TKTK never stops making it! Read more
With a varsity sports player in our house we go through a lot of bandages. She's always looking for new bandages. The main issue we have are bandages that actually stay on. So many have really weak adhesive. We didn't have that issue with these. The adhesive is nice and strong and they stayed on as long as she wanted them to. You get a pretty decent amount. And they don't stick out as bad as other bandages. I actually really like these compared to some of the ones I've bought in the stores. Read more
Good stuff and it works great. I’ve been doing several benefit walks and runs and noticed a few blisters on my feet. I’ve tried traditional bandages but they don’t seem to work or stay on. I tried these and were impressed with how well they worked. It’s pretty simple on applying them…nothing complicated. They do the job exactly like they are supposed to and they do it well. If you’re tired of old fashioned bandaids then give these a try and you’ll never look back. I highly recommend them and for the price it’s a great value for the money. Read more
The TKTK 2-Size Hydrocolloid Bandages are great in concept—they’re soft, flexible, and the roll format makes it easy to cut the exact size you need. They do help protect and cushion spots, but I noticed they don’t seem to stick as well as I expected. Maybe it’s just me being super oily, but I found the edges lifting sooner than other hydrocolloid patches I’ve tried. Read more
The hydrocolloid bandage is waterproof and stayed on overnight. The edges peel a little but the middle remain seal. It's also easy to peel off without pulling hair. This hydrocolloid can use for blisters, cuts, burns, and pimples as well. The bandage is also easy to cut. Read more
Between having two cats and just daily things, I injure myself frequently, so having a bandage option available to me is a necessity. I guess I hadn't shopped for bandages in awhile because I was unaware that sticky bandages were sold in roll form. These bandages look great. There is a good amount of stick to them and you can choose the size of the bandage. They look like the kind that is water-resistant as well. I haven't tried them yet, but I am optimistic that they will stay on reasonably long. The package comes with two different size rolls and a card with usage instructions. It doesn't say what kind of sticky material is used in the bandage. I say this because I tend to get rashes from time to time with traditional methods. So far, I would purchase this item again if needed and I would recommend this item to my family. Read more
This is a high quality and well thought our product. The two different sizes are nice to limit how much you have to cut the roll to use it. The hydrocolloid comes on a plastic sheet that is wider than the actual bandage, keeping the edges from getting dirty. (This is an issue I've had with other rolls in the past.) The roll comes with instructions on what wounds it's suitable for, but also on what wounds it ISN'T suitable for, which makes it a much safer product. As an MD student, I deeply appreciate that detail. It is also translucent and therefore not extremely visible on the skin (at least for my skin tone). It sticks well, and has been on for a couple hours now without peeling. Read more
