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

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.

These are the best Band-Aids ever. They stay on well and our waterproof. Excellent Hill protection if you have shoes that irritate the backs of your ankles, also great for any traditional Band-Aid use. They are waterproof and as long as you apply them to dry skin that doesn’t have any lotion or oil on it. They will stick for a long time.

These are the best bandages out there. They last a long time and are truly waterproof when you put them on correctly. They seal in a wound for as long as you need it. They’re easy to apply but also easy to mess up so be mindful when applying it. I love the quality of these and use them whenever there is a cut or wound that needs to be covered. Get the variety pack - trust me.

They're very good. Stay in place, truly waterproof. I will attach a picture of one that has been on my finger 24 hours, I showered, washed my hands countless times and is still there. I'm using it in addition to a warth removal, so it has to stay in for 24-48 hours and it works great!

The waterproofing is effective, however the bandages are difficult to peel off the paper. They stretch and the edges tend to wrinkle and stick together. Once the bandage is applied, the paper strips around the edges have to be peeled off. It can be hard to lift them without peeling the bandage off your skin.

I will never ever buy any other brand of bandaids! These are great. I wish they would have come out years ago. You just need to be careful not to close the ends after you take it out. Just carefully take the paper off, and put a dot of neosporin on your affected area, and press this on. THEN: you take off the white outside part. It will stay put for days and days! It's truly waterproof!!! After a shower, they are still on and not even lose. Another best thing, is no air gets in like regular bandaids. Sores etc, need to not have ANY air to heal fast.

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.

These are my Go-To bandages whenever I need one. They seal absolutely tight against water, whether in the shower or swimming. They seal so tightly that they are slightly difficult to get them off. I find that my wounds seem to heal faster, as well. There are three sizes, but I find that the smallest one is rarely used.

Les meilleurs pansements que je n’ai jamais essayé. Ils tiennent sur la peau même dans la douche / bain. Sont très pratiques à mettre. La forme est ergonomique. Ne font pas mal au décollage. Je suis impressionnée.

Original and Genuine

La calidad ya se conoce, son los mejores, los únicos que de verdad son impermeables y que no se caen con facilidad al primer baño. y suuuuper baratos.

These bandages are very thin and as invisible as possible, but even better, they seal all the way around and and are truly waterproof. These have been my favourites for years, but they aren’t always easy to find, so this multi-pack is great!

Very good
