Band-aid Brand Adhesive Bandages Activ-Flex Regular, 10 Count Box

I am an avid outdoors person. Once when I was riding my bicycle I fell, hit the asphalt, hard, and scraped up both elbows and a knee. We stopped at a local drugstore where a friend ran in and purchased Band-Aid Advanced Healing band-aids, liquid Band-Aid, regular Band-Aids and Bactine. I used the Liquid Band-Aid on one elbow and the Advanced Healing on the other and the knee. The liquid Band-Aid was awful... it burned going on and later it cracked open again. In contrast to the liquid or even a regular Band-Aid the Advanced Healing Band-Aid stayed on (must follow package directions for best results) AND even better yet when I removed the band-aid 3 days later (as the package suggests) I had NEW skin underneath no scab! Needless to say the Advanced Healing product resulted in quicker healing and no scar. The catch is you need to use these as soon as you get the scrape and they work best for scrapes/harsh abrasions (like skinned knees, etc.) rather than cuts I think. If the cut were to have already been forming a scab I don't think I would have achieved the same good results. A must for children (if you can get them not to pick the Band-Aid off ;-) Drawbacks must use right awy, size may not cover entire wound, can be trickier than a regular band-aid to apply correctly until you do it a couple of times.

I first came into contact with this type of product in New Zealand on a trek over the Milford Track. I had a blister on my foot and the professional guide used a product from Germany named "Compeed" that was amazing. I believe this Johnson & Johnson product is the American licensee of this technology. In summary, this is no temporary wound covering made up of a strip of self-adhesive and a sterile cotton pad that makes contact with the wound. Instead, it is an advanced material without pad that covers the wound, completely, to seal out germs, moisture, dirt, etc. Meanwhile, moisture from the wound is held in and absorbed/controlled by the man-made material. It acts like an artificial scab and is meant to stay in place until full healing has completed.

It is a thermoplastic material meaning it takes the shape of the body due to the warmth of the body. Read and use the directions for correct use to maximize the benefits built into this product.

I used to do a lot of building projects and as a lefty hold a hammer incorrectly, resulting in many painful blisters on my fingers and hand. These are AMAZING. They make some specifically for blisters, same product though. They make it so a blister doesn't hurt to rub against and heal it much quicker (since its covered, moist underneath and not getting messed with.

Only drawback is yes, you have to put them on correctly and it will be stuck to you for days. If you try and remove it too soon, the part of the band-aid that touches the wound is sticky like the adhesive part and WILL stick to your blister/wound (ouch!) so leave it alone, but these are wonderful and I'd recommend them to anyone.

These are the best bandages on the market period. They act as a "second skin" and are protective, waterproof and allow the wound to both stay moist and breathe. I have excema (extremely dry skin) on my hands and get regular (and painful) splits on my fingers. I put these bandages on and the cut is protected, pain-free and healed over in just a couple days.

Only cons are that the adhesive starts to wear after a couple days and the glue peels off around the edges. Not a big deal as it's probably time to take it off anyway. You also have to make sure that the skin is *completely dry* when you put the band-aid on or it won't adhere right. That's a pain, considering how few you get in a box, but once you get the technique down, these are a finger cut's best friend.

These are REALLY water proof for everyday injuries, but they make better ones that are a bit more expensive that are even more waterproof. I love this product, though!!
