Showerproof Transparent Adhesive Film Dressing 4" x 4" 3/4" 50 Per Box

I recently switched to using these Transparent Waterproof Adhesive Film Skin Dressings instead for the "skin-colored" (ha!) Simpatch for my Guardian 3 sensor. I love the smaller footprint of the dressing vs the far-too-large patches that I had been awkwardly cutting down for years. This adheres well and I don't feel it on my skin as I had the Simpatch and other products. It moves with me, and I just don't notice it is there. It can be difficult to start to remove, but once an edge is lifted it removes in a snap with no pain at all. I would rather it be harder to get that corner up for removal, than have it not last for my entire sensor session. My only wish was that it was a smidge wider. I have had times where I couldn't see what I was doing on the back of my arm and got this too far off-center which affected the coverage. However, that is not the product's fault at all since I am using it for something they never intended it for. The current adhesive dressing I am wearing has been on for 5 days, and even though it has been open on one side due to being off-center for the past few days, it is still holding firm. That is crazy but great! I could replace the covering without removing my sensor, but it is still holding, so I am going to skip it. I appreciate the pricing on these as well. They are far more affordable than Simpatch, and the clear just means that people aren't wondering if I have a "growth" on my arm. I am diabetic, no need to hide it under something that isn't the color of my skin but pretends to be. I love these. This is my first box, but I will be buying more when these are running low. Thank you for making this product!

Works great, especially in the shower…which was an issue before.

I love these dressings. I have a medication patch that doesn't adhese well, so I apply this dressing on top of the patch to keep the patch in place. The dressing is true to size and exactly as described. The dressing adheses well to clean skin; I often use rubbing alcohol to wipe down my skin to remove any oil or lotions. The dressing moves well with you when you move. The dressing is easy to apply and painless to remove. I've used this brand of dressing for over 2 years now, and am ordering my 3rd box right now.

Not as durable as Tegaderm, but much less expensive. For example, you may occasionally find them coming off after a shower or a few aggressive hand washes. Don't care, I throw on a new one -- which is probably not a bad idea anyway. I now find them easier to apply than Tegaderm, although I messed up *a few* before I got the hang of it. : ) Excellent for easily infected minor cuts. Easy to cut into smaller pieces before use. So cost effective that I don't care about changing more frequently. Extremely inconspicuous, unlike a band-aid style dressing, and healing is visible, as is evidence of infection. In my experience they're quite effective at keeping the bacterial hordes away from broken skin. They're the bargain basement of transparent dressings, but perfectly sufficient for most of life's little wounds. Wish they had been available when my children were little! Every time my adult daughter comes to visit she grabs a couple, so I guess it's never too late! With a box of 100 they go a very long way, and I haven't noticed any degradation over about a year.

I use these to cover my husbands pain patch. They seem to wrinkle easily but stay on. They are easy to remove.
