BD Ace Elastic Bandage with Velcro Closure, Each

BD Ace Elastic Bandage with Velcro Closure, 4' Wide, EachI love the BD Ace Elastic Bandage with velcro closure. I've used two 4 in wide versions on my lower legs for several months. The same bandages. They can be washed, and the velcro is still holding after two months of daily use. They hold great. Much better than wrestling with metal clips.

Love the velcro closure

Will start using only this type of ace bandance.

Have a nice day. Bye bye bye

these ace bandages were what I have been looking for. Love them. I do not like using an ace bandage that does not have it own way to stay closed

This is your average ace wrap nothing special. A decent product when you need some extra support for anything. I used this for support during athletics.

It slides down or off to easy if I use it on my ankles. Is good for some things, not for others.

3M Micropore 2" Paper Surgical Tape with Dispenser (by the Roll)

3M Micropore 2' Paper Surgical Tape with DispenserI buy this tape because my skin is very sensitive to tapes. This is the only tape I can wear without pulling my skin off while removing. I think this is a good buy. Hope this helps.

I purchased this tape to help correct a young Canary's slip claw, and it works perfect! A tutorial mentioned this brand specifically but I should have gone with the 1" instead. Oh well! I can cut it to the size and shape I need, and it isn't easily soiled so I can leave it on for days at a time before changing it.

adheres well to skin, doesnt feel heavy and sticky on, not hard to remove on intact skin but can be a little more than expected to remove on thin or very sensitive or compromised skin areas

They used this same tape in the hospital after my husbands surgery. So, we ordered this for changing bandages at home. I love that it comes with a cutting mechanism it's a pain to try to use a scissors to cut tape when you're trying to hold 4X4 gause pads in place (I need four hands!!!). So this tape with dispenser works great love it!

3M 3M Coban Self-Adherent Wrap 1 X 5 Yard Roll

COBAN SELF-ADHERENT WRAP, 1' X 5 YARD ROLLI ordered these to wrap a broken toe (I couldn't find any 1" wraps in stores because it's such a small size), and it has worked great! It sticks to itself well and lasts a long time.

Accoutrements Mustache Bandages

Accoutrements Mustache BandagesI bought these for my boyfriend to go in his Valentine's basket! They are great, everyone gets a kick out of them, the tin is an added bonus. :)

I gave these bandages to my son because at his office they have what is called mustache day. With these bandages even the ladies can enjoy the fun.

I bought these for a stocking stuffer for my son-in-law. These are hilarious. Everybody gets a kick out of them when I show them the bandages. I would recommend these , plus mustaches are cool.

These band aids are fun but they aren't that sticky. So if you are getting them to really do the job of a band aid you may want to reconsider. We just love mustaches so they fact that they fell off after some movement didn't matter to us!

whether you have a booboo or not, the mustache bandages are fun to use. Decided to do a program with children, using these instead of the fuzzy mustaches with adhesive backing, and it was a hit. A little pricey for a bandaid, but for the novelty effect, not bad.

We got it for taping our Dog's ears up. He was able to get other tapes off but this one holds up until the end of the week when we take it off. It is hard to get off too, keep in mind.

Mom's Medicine Chest Newborn Kit

Mom's Medicine Chest Newborn KitI had a feeling I was in for disappointment when the mailman dropped off the package to my doorstep this afternoon. The box was startlingly small: too small to hold what in my mind seemed like a thorough and sturdy med kit.

Sure enough, when I opened it I was disgusted. I'd like to point out that this is NOT an inexpensive item: 42 dollars should at least have merited a shoebox-sized container, but sadly it isn't even that big and it's cheap plastic. Inside, the few items are as poorly proportioned as the box. They clearly state that these are not samples and are full sized. No, they are not. The contents are a sick joke: a tiny bottle of butt paste, a 30ml container of saline nose drops, 15ml of an off-brand acetaminophen bottle which included a dropper that was already broken, a 1 FL ounce bottle of simethicone drops (also off-brand)an extremely cheap digital thermometer (not even the type that can be used in the ear or under the arm), a useless paper book for newborn first aid, (Google is a lot better resource)the crappiest brush I have ever seen in my life, a cheap pacifier, and TWO alcohol swabs.

Now I need to go out and buy my own stuff.....except it won't fit into that piddly piece of junk they call a box.

I realize the baby item market is filled with ripoffs and gimmicks, but this by far is the biggest scam I've fallen victim to while shopping for baby items. Do yourself a favor: never click on this item again, go out and buy your own box and fill it with QUALITY medicines. Don't let this company rip you off blindly the way I was.

This kit is a must for all first time moms! Everything you need is right here. These make a perfect gift. I buy them as gifts for all my "moms to be" friends. Thanks Moms Medicine Chest.

Prestige Medical Nurse Compression Socks, White

Prestige Medical Nurse Compression Socks, WhiteThese are not true compression socks at all! They are just a nice pair of $8 socks. The other reviews must not be familiar with true compression hose/socks. These are no good. Spend a extra $10 or $15 dollars and buy the real thing. I rarely review anything because I'm too lazy to type, but money is really hard to come by these days and I don't want anyone wasting their money.

I was wearing TED hose to work to keep my legs from aching after a long stretch of standing on cement floors all day. The TED's drove me crazy because of the hole in the toe area. The TED's also would leave impressions below my knees and would slip down causing me to be constantly pulling them back up. I searched and searched for compression stocking that would give the same support as the TED's but would be more comfortable. Finally I stumbled on to these socks that did the trick. They stay up, don't cause ridges in my legs and are very comfortable. I have long legs but these socks come up high enough to reach below my knees. They are "one size fits all" so I can see where they may be tight on anyone who has large calves. I bought three pairs and plan to order more in black to wear with my jeans.

Other reviewers have crabbed about these not being REAL compression socks. The packaging says right on them LIGHT compression socks. They have the fabric feel of dress socks, so if you are really a nurse you'll want to wear regular socks over them for all day comfort.

I got these because my last pregnancy left me with some vericose and spider veins on my left shin/ankle. They were starting to ache on days I was on my feet. These socks really help! My veins are not to the point I need the granny-type compression socks so these were perfect!

ON the sizing, I wear a size 10 womens shoe and they fit my feet perfect and came as high as 2" below the knee. I am also 5'9". If I had a smaller foot these would NOT be for me since they are not designed like nylons but have an actual foot shape with heal.

I also have an athletic build, if my legs were bigger they might be unconfortable at the very top where the bind-off is tighter than the rest of the sock.

For me they are perfect and I wear them all the time. I bought a black pair and a white pair.

If you are a woman, do NOT buy these socks! They were designed for a large foot. I wear a 7.5-8 shoe, and while these socks were tight (adequate compression), they were extraordinarily uncomfortable. If I wore them so that the heel of the sock fit my heel, there was way too much sock that I had to fold up in the toe of my shoe and the stockings ended at a very uncomfortable place just below my knee. If I wore them so that they fit my foot, the stockings ended just above my knee and were, again, extraordinarily uncomfortable, cutting off my circulation. Wish that I had not bought this product.

These compression socks have helped me sooo much. My legs feel better after wearing these socks after 10hrs or more of standing on the job. I noticed the change fast and I will be ordering this product again.

OUCH! Plasters - Comic Strips

OUCH! Plasters - Comic StripsI LOVE THIS ITEM! So do my 3 grandkids. I ordered it thru Amazon & had it sent to my daughter & her husband's address. I like sending surpise packages every now & then for the grandkids so they get the fun of getting something in the mail. This was a hit with all three, ages 3, 6 and 8 and cost about $10 total.

I think Hurts don't hurt as bad when a child can choose one of these Batman "Bam" "Pow" "Wham" or "Ouch!" bandages to perfectly describe what they went through. Lots of fun.

Kids and some adults never get tired of having fun band-aids. My daughter is also a Batman fan and so these were especially fun for her.

These come in the old fashioned style bandaid tins. They are very cute. My kids love bandaids and these are quite popular with all the neighbor kids too.

When I have blood drawn for tests, I am always disappointed by the BLAH band-aids the doctor has on hand. Each year I give my medical people a box of cool band-aids for Christmas and these were some of the coolest.

Caldera Instant Cold Pack, 2-Pack

Caldera Instant Cold Pack, 2-PackShipped quickly and safely. When you have a soccer team to coach, these come in handy. No refrigeration needed prior or at time of use. Just activate and you're good to go. What a bruise saver! Hope they don't run out of these! Some brands don't get as cold or last as long....This is a good one.

For the cost of these packs, I found them to not last very long. I needed a cold pack that would get me through a football game. I was very disappointed and won't purchase these again.

Nexcare Nexcare Comfort Flexible Fabric Bandage Latex Free Assorted Sizes

3M 576-30PB 30 Count Comfort BandagesI love Nexcare brand COMFORT bandages. They are somewhat velvety on the exterior and once you have them on for a few minutes they warm up to the skin and then form fit very well. You can actually forget they are on because they feel so natural after a few minutes. They move well on areas that you flex too. They adhere very well to both skin and to themselves if you are taping a finger or toe for example, and they stay on until you are ready to take them off. Best of all, someone finally had the common sense to design the bandage with full coverage around THE SIDES of the gauze area, where you need it, to avoid dust and germs from getting under the bandage and onto the wound. I have always hated that about regular brand bandages. The area around the side had no protection. I would often sacrifice another bandage, cut off the tape ends and then tape over the bandage on the sides to completely protect the wound from germs. Thanks Nexcare, for a great, common sense designed product.
