Wow, what a great idea, clear, waterproof bandaids. Wow, what a horrible experience. They are impossible to get out of package, they bunch up and look horrible on skin. They are a pain to get on, so bad I came to the website to see if there were any tips. I would look better with a ninja turtle bandaid on my head. I have gone through five strips and have thrown them all away. What a waste. I feel like this was over engineered and a fail.

Changed my mind about adhesive bandages, period.

I work in a bakery, so any open wounds have to be covered by a waterproof bandage and a glove. I covered a three part cat scratch on my palm running up my pinkie with three of them layered over eachother. I proceeded to work all night, washing my hands 10+ times, and these bandages kept my injuries completely dry, pain free, and all without any bulk AT ALL. I have never cared about or wanted to use any bandaid/adhesive bandage type product in my years in construction and restaurant work because they were always too bulky or came off easily. I dismissed that whole concept. Then I found these and I'm mad because honestly if I had known these existed I'd have far fewer scars on my hands, and have experienced far fewer minor infections. I'm waiting for my next check to buy a few packs for myself and my family.
Best bandage ever

Best water proof bandage I have ever used. I tried these because I deal with water a lot for my job. And they stay on, are completely waterproof and wonderful. Most adhesives irritate my skin and these don't. I don't buy any other brand anymore.
Adheres to skin well.

Works well for smaller areas like fingertips. Clear adhesive portion means one can see skin color near would, allowing one to determine if discoloration / infection is occurring.
Worked amazing! Saved my camping trip!

I had vein surgery on my leg right before our camping trip. There was no way I wasn’t swimming in the pond during a heat wave so I took a chance and used the waterproof bandages. I have had them on for a whole week, swimming and showering EVERYDAY and they are still completely intact. I just can’t believe it. Thank you for making my vacation week a success!

These have been my go to bandage for years since I am least likely to have a bad reaction to the adhesive. I really wish the large bandages could be purchased separately in a pack of 50 or 100. I’ve been using them to cover wounds for the past two years and really dislike having so many of the smaller bandages I rarely use. I sometimes have difficulty finding them in the store so I order several packs online when I need them.

Used this product before couple times and liked it very much. Purchased 2 packs again today, a drive up order. One of the packages is damaged though it didn’t affect the product. The Target shopper is careless. They could do much better than this.
These absolutely work great!

I used these to cover a biopsy site while swimming. Everytime I took after the badge after swimming it was dry underneath. They absolutely work great!
Great purchase!

I purchased these bandages to cover a wart that I am treating on my pointer finger. I have been using them for a least a week now and they really stay on and are water proof! After a long day of teaching with multiple times of handwashing and applying hand sanitizer, the bandage stayed put. I even did some gardening that afetnoon; watering, planting and rinsing herbs; again the bandage held. It was only when I really scrubbed to get the garden dirt off my hands that the bandage started to peel off, but I already had it on for about 10 hours at that point.

I first bought these years ago and no question, they are the BEST. I'm sensitive to some adhesives with them causing more injury then what I started with. I have no issue at all with these. They hold well, waterproof and comfortable. My husband is on blood thinners and constantly "springs a leak" so these are a must have for him as well. The down side is the store runs out!
These won't budge!

These adhere so well and are completely waterproof. They stay on through showering. They are difficult to peel off for removal, and the adhesive is also hard to remove but it will come off with alcohol. I see lots of complaints about them being difficult to remove, but at the same time that is what makes them work so well to protect wounds. Will definitely purchase again.
1.25x2.5 not available outside assorted box

I love these, but the most used size, for me, for over 10 years, has been the one size they don't have available outside of thr assorted pack. The 1.25" x 2.5" are the one size I use most from the assorted pack, and they aren't available in a one size box, which is frustrating. I pretty much end up throwing the "spot" ones away from those assorted boxes, too.

My favorite bandages!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love these bandages and use them for pretty much all of my smaller skin-damage injuries (paper cuts, skinned joints, nicks from kitchen knives), and if I apply them correctly they can prevent damaged skin from getting wet in the shower, while doing dishes, washing hands, etc. They seem to adhere best if you clean the surrounding skin with alcohol first, and make sure it dries before you put the bandage on. I sometimes leave these bandages on for multiple days in a row without them ever coming loose; it depends where they are placed and whether there is a lot of friction at the bandage edge. They can absorb pigment from clothes, carrots, etc, but it doesn't affect their adherence. The plastic stretches out a little if it's on flexing skin so you don't even feel them after a bit. They work best on flat skin, and are less waterproof when applied on wrinkly/frequently folded skin or near fingernails because any tiny wrinkles in your skin or the bandage can lead to channels where water can get in. But unlike big hydrocolloid bandages, the edges of these bandages do not absorb water, so if they are sealed on, you are good to go. Nexcare/3M: Please sell packs of the small size bandages only! I never use up the large or medium ones in the multipack.
BAD PURCHASE - ONE STAR

I have been using these bandages for years. The company must have changed the adhesive because the bandages are extremely difficult to remove AND if you can remove the bandage the adhesive remains on your skin for a long time AND it's extremely difficult to remove the adhesive from your skin. I have to find another adhesive bandage. Interesting that I checked NEVER for recommending the bandage but the screen will not process after I click on complete.

I think they work great as long as no part of the bandage goes over your nail bed because that allows water to seep under the bandage. If they are applied properly, you can wash your hands all you want and they will stay on for several days. I only wish I could buy a box of just the smallest size. I usually need them for cuts on my fingers and the smallest size works best for that.

The ones with the thin white strips you have to remove are possibly the most annoying things I have ever bought. I ruin 3 trying to get the white strips off each time. They stick fine if you don't mind taking five minutes just to put a bandage on.
