Don’t waste cash buying other bandaids. These guys rule!
I have used Nexcare waterproof bandaids for over 20 years and I now buy them in bulk from Amazon. I have run out before and any other brand doesn’t stay over the booboos at all. Even if they say “waterproof “ they come right off by just washing your hands. 3M products are always the best. I had to use an Estrogen patch in my early 40s and they were constantly coming off if I perspired. It drove me crazy until I discovered large Nexcare patches. They were large enough to cover the entire patch and I could swim, shower or do anything and they never came off.Don’t get frustrated the first time you put one of these on. I does take practice and I have come up with my own little procedures. Be sure the skin is dry and free of lotions, etc.. Be gentle when opening the paper over it, you want to be sure the little paper strips don’t come loose until it on your skin and fully adhered. Be careful not to get two parts stuck to each other; it’s almost impossible to get them unstuck. Once the bandaid is on my skin I put my hand over it for a short time to let the heat from my hand make it stick super good. After that I pull the little papers off. Putting one on the end of my finger was a challenge as I have very small hands. You have to put it half on, peel that sides paper off, then put the other half down. As they overlap, taking half the paper off is necessary. Taking them off just takes a little doodling with one edge until you get enough to grasp with your fingers. These stick well on my dry skin but if you have oily skin you may want to get those small packets of alcohol prep pads they always use at the doctor’s office. It’s always good to clean a booboo anyway.We bought a house in the desert a few years back with a fully landscaped yard. As we moved from the east coast I had to learn all about desert gardening from a friend. EVERYTHING has thorns! Needless to say, I have a drawer full of every Nexcare products available! Take a few in a ziplock bag when you travel. They can be hard to find if you’re out of the USA!

Difficult to determine actual size of gauze pad
These bandages work very well. We’ve used them before and were looking for a box of all the same size bandages rather than a box of assorted sizes. a size assortment. These were boxes of all one size, but not the size we needed. It was difficult to tell the size from the manufacturer’s info or customer reviews. The outer measurements of the bandage and the actual size of the gauze inner pad are important, as you want the gauze part to cover the wound and not the sticky part.

The only bandage that stays on after getting wet
I've used all the types of bandages: tough strips, water proof, liquid brush on and none of them stay around after getting wet. Typically even the one's that say they're water proof start peeling off after a few hand washes, but not Nexcare Waterproof Clear Bandages. These are the ONLY and I mean ONLY one's that will stay on after getting wet multiple times. I've taken showers with them, washed dishes, washed the pets, the car, all of it and it keeps sticking. I wish they made these in larger sizes but I'll take what I can get and these are the best.

My most favorite adhesive bandages
I love, love, love these bandages. They are nearly always waterproof and if water does get in, the bandage stays stuck to the skin. I usually use these on my finger tips, thus how water can leak in. Elsewhere on the bod, they are truly waterproof. These are nice on fingertips because they stick all the way around the pad. I like fabric bandages as well, but they often do not have adhesive all the way around the pad and then unravel and do not stick when wet. These are the bomb and I will continue to buy them.

Don't recommend this vender. I've used this product in the past, and love them
Waited weeks, but never received the product. So, I don't recommend buying from the vender. As far as the product, I love these bandages. It's the only brand I buy now.

Nexcare Waterproof Clear Bandage
Long familiarity with the product, purchasing it on Amazon is just cheaper. Think a clear plastic bandage with a regular bandaid centered within it. It won't come off until the wound has healed. And they'rer stretchable. I'm not talking about excessively stretching it, but the bandage does pull a bit to cover a decent sized area. You can purchase them at Target Stores as well. Nexcare is a great company. RECOMMEND: Buy a few boxes (I did).

best bandages
Best bandages anywhere. The stretchy plastic border really holds well. My daughter couldn't figure out how to use them. You peel the whole bandage off the back and apply it to your boo-boo and THEN remove the little paper border. Once you try these, you'll never go back.

Old stock
Great bandaids ! But these I believe are old. Hard to get the paper off, sometimes takes several to get one to use.
