It worked well.I replaced everyday to cover up stitches on my arm, how a shower with no issues. My only issue was, I had a reaction to the tape. It doesn't really say what it's made out of other than there's no latex. I am sensitive to silicone, so i'm not sure if that's in it. Performance five star, but the allergy reaction it gives it a three.

Horrible quality - 11 months ago, Verified purchaser
Once you figure out how to apply this product, it is a 5 star product. I ruined 3 or 4 of these before I figured out how to use them. They were extremely frustrating intially and I would have given 0 stars. If you're struggling, my advice is DO NOT try to peel the entire patch off of the backing like a bandaid, it will stick to itself like Saran Wrap. Think of it as a self seal laminating sheet. Only peel enough of the backing to be able to stick part of the patch to the skin and slowly peel the backing as you simultaneously adhere the patch to the skin. If you are applying to a curved area such as an elbow or chin, you won't be able to get it all flat at once because the outer paper is stiff. I was able to adhere the center of the patch to the edge of my chin, and then had to pull and stick one side at a time while simultaneously removing the outer paper.
Warning!

Use with caution. I bought these and used one on my 4yr old son. He fell down and had a decently large scratch that needed a large bandage and allowed me to see the wound through. He only wore it for 2hrs before we decided to change the dressing and it was literally adhered to his skin and he started panicking. It has been 2 months now, and the outline of the bandaid has burned a scar onto his skin. The doctor thought he had residue from the bandages but it is just a chemical burn. Idk if if will ever fully go away. This product does not use natural rubber from what the small paper in the box says.

Badbrush - 1 year ago, Verified purchaser
Look I'm sure most people will say this is completely my fault but it's extremely misleading to put a bandage in a box that is twice the size of the bandages. I assumed that the box size was 6x4 that was the size of the bandages but no they are 2.375x2.75. I'm just realizing that now a few days after my surgery when I need to change my bandage. Again it's completely my fault and usually I look before I purchase things but they got me this time. 3m if anyone is reading it please put the actual size image that is on the back of the box on the front of the box so that dumb people like me realize what they are buying. Thanks.
Wouldnt recommend for tattoo or sensitive skin

If you’re planning to use this for a tattoo make sure you do a skin test beforehand. I’ve used saniderm and second skin before with no problem but I got a reaction in my elbow ditch with this product. I’m not sure if it’s because of the ditch but the rest of the tattoo was fine. Also don’t put it on right before you shower - I did this and after the very quick shower where the bandage did not get fully saturated the edges immediately started peeling so I had to redo everything. The instructions also say their should be a once inch border around your “wound” so I ended up using more than half the box for one time. Wish they had bigger sizes available.

FYI I purchased this product and it did not adhere to my skin. Rolled up on the edges. Nexcare is the only product I've purchased for many years and they are the best. However, this product did not stick to skin that was dried thoroughly.

This just expensive RUBBISH. It does not adhere to skin and one is very lucky if this trash stays on the wound for longer than 24 hours. Don't consider, there are many much better products on the market

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It is a large bandaid and it works great. I was surprised how large it was. I hope it would be available in smaller sizes. Maybe that is a way to start the product on the market and then offer other sizes.
Must have in your first aid supplies.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great product. This product does just as described. It will stay on for days to protect a wound so there is no continually replacing a bandage to protect the wound. I highly recommend this product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] While the patch easily goes on the sides roll up with time although the main part of what you cover is well protected. The patch does its job even when showering with its waterproof ability. Upon taking the patch off there is no pain or sticky residue left.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Have a large gash above my knee from walking into a glass coffee table. This transparent dressing fits great and covers the whole area. It also stays in place even while showering without getting the wound wet.
