Nexcare Waterproof Cushioned Bandages, Knee & Elbow, 2 x 4 in, 8 Count

Nexcare bandages are a quality product and one that I want in my first-aid kit at home. I was updating my kit and found these online and decided to order them. They are nicely-cushioned. Not those barely-there cotton pads that you find in the cheapie bandages in the dollar stores. They are also a large size for those larger cuts that scare you to death when your kiddos come in the door yelling, "Mom, Mom!" Or like my husband just did a few minutes ago, coincidentally. It's nice to have a band aid around that's going to do the job and stay on! I'll be ordering again, but hopefully not too, too soon...

I would definitely recommend, but you should know:1) While the bandage itself is relatively water proof, I wouldn't say it's *shower-proof*. Cool to warm water occasionally making contact will not remove the bandage, however a humid shower for even 5 minutes will make it peel off. This may not be the case with flatter stretches of skin, but this was my experience on my hand.2) If you are using this post surgery, you may want to shave away any hair on the area, because even pulling at an angle as recommend will still be a struggle. Maybe use warm water when removing the bandage if possible?3) On a positive note, this is probably the best adhesive I've ever seen on a bandage. The material itself follows so closely to my skin that I can see the creases on the skin of my palm and wrist through it. It makes it easy to move without concern of it peeling up.4) Another good thing: the padding genuinely is thick for a bandage despite being so form fitting. It genuinely protects the covered area from direct pressure.If your using it on a flexing area, I would expect at least using 1 per day. You might get away with longer if it's on a flatter area of skin like your forearm.

I needed the size Band-Aid to stretch over a nonstick pad for incision ahead for surgeryIt works well & has a nice adhesive

Would be a 5 star is the adhesive stick better.Otherwise, the pad would be very good with the soft cushion area.Still gonna use them. I needed these for a foot wound so putting a sock on right away Helps keep the pad in place longer.

These bandages stick well and are good quality for the price.

These are the "real deal" in terms of actually being waterproof! The adhesive is so effective and stays right where it was placed without sliding, peeling or curling; yet it's not difficult to remove when you're ready to do so. And if that wasn't impressive enough, you'll be amazed to hear it's easy on one's skin and doesn't leave it red or irritated.I highly recommend these waterproof bandages!

Did not keep wound dry in the shower.

These are the best!
