Waterproof Clear Bandages, Covers and Protects, 360 Degree Seal Around The Pad Offers Exceptional Protection Against Water, Dirt, and Germs, Assorted Sizes, 100 Count

My favorite bandaid because they last for several days ans are waterproof, they stick completely and blow regular bandaid awaty...I'm pretty particular because I used to be a nurse and only use these or hyrdracoldale for blisters.

First let me say that I work as a meat cutter & I have vinyl gloves going on & off my hands all day long. I also wash my hands 30 -40 times in a work day. Regular adhesive bandages get caught on the vinyl gloves and their edges roll up, the bandage gets soiled & looks like hell, and they loosen up quickly when I wash my hands. All of these problems disappear when I use this product, which I have now for 6 months or so prior to this review. I am also prone to getting "finger splits" in cold weather, and these have proved to be invaluable to keeping these covered and promote healing. The adhesive part of the strip is no thicker than a single layer of skin yet has a stronger adhesive that a regular self-stick bandage. It is absolutely waterproof and can be worn for up to 3 days before it needs changing. Because the adhesive membrane is so thin, it actually contours itself INTO the creases of your skin making for a complete, water tight seal. You will waste a few bandages while you get the knack of applying this unique product, but it's worth it. Applying these to most areas of the body is effortless and creates a smooth waterproof seal. It does get tricky around the fingertips, and I find (in my unique situation) that small openings in unsealed creases create openings in the bandage that let water in, requiring me to use 2/day. Still, they serve me well protecting skin splits on my fingertips, reducing pain and speeding up the process of the splits closing and healing. Only when water gets under the bandage does the adhesive loosen on its own. Another bonus is that the bandage doesn't leave adhesive residue on your skin (fingernails will have residue left behind, but it is easily removed). If you're like me, then you hate the sight of dirty adhesive residue left behind by regular adhesive bandages that is difficult to remove. Another nice thing is that the adhesive portion is completely clear so that all that's seen is the beige pad of the bandage. I use these frequently, so I was very happy to find that I can buy a 4-pack of assorted sizes at a great savings over buying a single box of a smaller quantity assortment in a regular store. I sorted them all by size and marked each of 3 boxes so that I can quickly select the size I need without having to sort through an entire package. This also lets me know when I'm getting low on a particular size. My only wish is that these were available to purchase in individual sizes as I use the smallest the most. I believe that this product is a revolutionary to adhesive bandages as Band-Aid brand was when it first came out. An outstanding product that I highly recommend.

Great product. Good size selection of bandages and stays on after area that's covered gets wet.

When I was ready to buy a new box of bandages I didn't give it a second thought. Of course I would buy Johnson & Johnson Band-Aids just like I always have, and my parents before me, and my grandparents before them. I had tried other brands in the past in an "emergency" and they were next to useless so I have always stuck with the leading brand. I was ready to push the "order" button this time but my eye caught this product from Nexcare. Never heard of them. But I saw that they are made by 3M. Who in the world knows more about adhesives (Scotch tape, Post-it Notes, etc) than 3M? So I figured what could it hurt and changed my order to a box of 100 assorted bandages in the most common sizes. I'm impressed. Unlike everyone else who simply tried to copy Band-Aid, Nexcare pretty much reinvented the bandage. To begin with, it's not the typical shape but more of a diamond shape with rounded corners. The corners don't catch on clothing and other things like the squared-off edges of other bandages and the diamond shape is far more forgiving around areas that aren't flat like knuckles, wrists, toes, etc (doesn't it seem that bandages are never needed on flat, smooth expanses of skin?) There's another major difference as well. Most bandages leave a gap along the sides where water and other stuff can get to the wound. Nexcare surrounds the entire wound and seals in in against water and foreign objects, yet the material breathes and allows healing air to penetrate. Leave it to 3M to come up with that magic. One independent study showed that Nexcare leaked about 25 percent of the time while Band-Aid about 40 percent of the time, compared with more than 85 percent for lower-rated products. I can't count how often I've been disappointed by so-called waterproof bandages that peel off as soon as they get wet. Not so with the Nexcare product, it really sticks like glue but yet is ouchless when peeled off, even on hairy arms and legs. Another plus is that they do NOT contain latex. Bandages are something no one wears by choice and frankly this box of 100 will probably last me for years, so 3M isn't going to get rich off me. They are priced competitively but it doesn’t hurt that Amazon often has them on sale. Are they perfect? I can’t find any major faults with the bandages themselves but I do have one suggestion which is rather than toss all of the three sizes into the box randomly it would be nice if they put some sort of cardboard dividers to separate the sizes to make them easier to find when you don’t have a lot of time to fuss around looking for a bandage. I know this review is pretty enthusiastic about something as basic as a bandage but I do like these and now that I've tried them I think they're a big improvement from what I've been using till now.

As far as bandaid brands go these are the best. They stick SO WELL and are super thin at the same time. Also they don't give you that horrible burning sensation that some bandaids do when you put them on tightly enough to stay on (I'm speaking for finger tips). They are waterproof and do well for a couple showers, but that's for when they are applied on flat smooth portions of your body =not that awesome in the shower for fingers and toes. There is a learning curve to putting these on too. For some mysterious reason they don't quite stick to you until you peel the thin white top liner off...it's so strange how that works but it can be difficult to place on wounds that aren't on a completely flat plane, like a fingertip. Minus one start cause they're pricy, but still the holy grail of all bandaid brands. Ironically the bandaid brand bandaids are the worst I think, they literally hurt you when you use them.

These are waterproof exactly as described, so long as they're applied properly. I use a LOT of lotion due to having eczema, and these will not adhere to my skin unless dry. That's with pretty much every medical adhesive item. However, there's a little trick I've found when I forget to remove some of my lotion. If you're having trouble getting the bandage to stick, try pressing your hand on it for a few seconds. The warmth of your hand will help activate the adhesive. This works most of the time for me across all bandage types. I haven't gone swimming in these bandages (and don't plan to), but it's held up wonderfully to repeated hand washing and other limited exposure to water, as well as me applying lotion to the close surrounding skin. I highly recommend!

These are my go-to, favorite bandages. They are excellent if you want something waterproof and flexible. I have purchased several times and gave away the other bandages I have--won't go back. I like the clear surround, the bandage blends in, less noticeable and I don't have to replace as often. They go on easy and the variety of sizes fit most of our needs.

Great adhesion, water resistant better than most others, and unobtrusive. Application is a bit finicky but tolerable.
