Nexcare Absolute Waterproof First Aid Tape, 1-Inch x 5-Yard Roll (Pack of 6)

If I could rate this higher than 5 stars I could. This Waterproof Tape is like rolling on new skin over cuts and splits. It doesn't stick to the wound but melds to itself to form a tight waterproof seal. I can wear it for days at a time even taking showers and working in water. It removes easily not retearing the cut open. While the bandage stays tight, it still flexes as you move your fingers around so it won't cut off circulation. There's also a bit of a rubbery texture to it so you can pick up small objects and still 'feel' what you are working on. You can even wear work gloves over them and when you remove the gloves the tape stays in place and not in your glove. It's a miracle to me and every working guy should have a roll in his tool box.

I have developed an auto-immune skin disorder on my fingers, hands and the bottoms of my feet that is evil. First the skin splits open as though it was sliced with glass...sometimes the split is so long and deep I think I'll need stitches...it's VERY PAINFUL! Then, the skin around the split builds up thick and starts to peel like an onion leaving open sores. OUCH!!! I was going through boxes and boxes of Band-Aids, but as soon as my hands or feet got the slightest moisture the Band-Aids wouldn't stick and would fall off so I was constantly re-applying.

Then I discovered this tape and I don't think I could survive without it. It accomplishes several things.

* First, It works like a "butterfly" bandage in that it not only covers the split, but because it's stretchy, it's able to close the split and hold it in place which eliminates most of the pain.

* Secondly, IT STAYS ON, even if my hands and feet get sweaty and it will even stick when I've gotten my hands and feet wet like doing the dishes or taking a shower. I've left it on for several days at a time.

* Thirdly, it's cushiony which makes it very comfortable and provides a barrier between the sore spots and whatever I happen to come into contact with.

* Importantly, it keeps my open wounds protected from dirt and bacteria and I've not gotten an infection since I've been using it.

* It is flesh colored so it is not very noticeable. Believe me, I already feel self-conscious enough without looking like I have mummy-bandaged hands and feet. This tape does not raise a lot of eyebrows or make me feel like my condition is sticking out like the proverbial sore thumb.

* Lastly, It is also easy to wrap around and conform to places that Band-Aids would never do...like over fingertips or around thumbs or toes. You just cut off the length/shape that you need. Honestly, I'd like to be a spokes model for this stuff.

Yes, it sticks on tight and you have to be careful when peeling it off, but if you get it wet first it will peel off much easier.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program In my trials with this tape it worked well when enough was used to wrap it all the way around a finger or limb, so that one end could be taped over the other. Shorter pieces taped only to skin had a tendency to come loose when sweaty if there was much movement of the skin, as in gardening work. I've had tapes with better adhesive, but they weren't waterproof as this tape is. The tape is soft and flexible, surprisingly comfortable.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program CUT HERE, CUT THERE ... A CUT CUT EVERYWHERE. I the clumsy craftsman always seem to be getting little nicks and cuts. I have found that using New Skin liquid bandage and Nexcare absolute waterproof tape has given my hands mainly ... anew life I have been reborn!

I hate regular band-aids where your fingers get all mushy and curdled. Also regular band-aids tend to crunch up and fall off if they even get sweat on them ... this tape I very flexible and can roll with the punches. With the tape and New Skin I generally can take it off at night to let my skin breath and then if necessary reapply a "new skin" the next day.

Of course with larger wounds the Nexcare tape seals the edges of gauze pad ... but thankfully my injuries are mainly nicks and nips.

Good stuff ... again, try New Skin with it ...it gives you double coverage. Amen.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program This lightweight tape is cushy and soft, so very comfortable. Being foam, it bends well and doesn't make painful kinks. It stretches slightly, so you can make the bandage tight, giving a bit of compression. You can easily tear it, so no scissors required. It will stretch quite a bit before breaking, too.

It sticks well to dry skin (the first time used), but doesn't leave sticky gunk like some bandaids do, which I appreciated. It also did not pull at the skin when removed. But, that also means that the tape isn't very good if you need to undo it and reposition it. Once I pulled it off, it did not stick nearly as wellits only drawback. So, if you need better sticking power, you would probably be better off with a cloth tape or a heavy duty bandage type. The product description said it stuck to sweaty skin; I didn't try that, but I know it will not stick to oily skin.
