Nexcare Clear Waterproof Bandages: Assorted Sizes / 100-Pack (Clear)Compact by Design (Amazon-developed Certification)

A+Seller. Excellent product if you know how to properly apply it to the wound. Keeps water out. Sticks like glue. Highly Recommended.Tip: Clean the wound and area around the wound with an antiseptic. Make sure skin is dry and free of oils and lotions. If you use an antiseptic- biotic on the wound keep it off the perimeter of the wound where the bandage will be applied. Place the bandage on the wound and smooth out the edges onto the skin pressing down. Remove the white strips slowly then apply pressure around the edges of the bandage to seal the adhesive to the skin.

They are thin and easy to put and go well on wounds. They stick to the skin really well and last through a shower so none of that icky bandage coming off in the bath. Also when I do peel it off it doesn't stick to my skin so bad that it hurts.

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.

Have used for decades. Less noticable when in use. Really do stick in water. Keep what is under the bandage dry.

These are a good bandage. They have a great adhesive and actually stay on! The only downside is is that sometimes they will leave a stickiness on the skin, but it is easily cleaned off. This is my bandage of choice!

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!

Best bandage ever! Great price! Stays on strong and no allergic reactions
