I don’t usually have specific preferences when it comes to first aid supplies. Different companies make similar-performing products, and as long as they do what they’re supposed to do, I have no complaints. Bandages, however, I am picky. When I was younger, I used to insist upon character bandages although they fell off much easier than other non-character bandages. Anyway, the staple bandages I always keep in my medicine cabinet are the Plastic Adhesive Bandages from Curad.
I, of course, buy other bandages that are intended for larger areas or specific purposes (blisters, scars, and such); however, these bandages are the best for any general bandage use.
The plastic adhesives don’t stick to the skin excessively and make it painful to remove. They also don’t leave any sticky residue that many fabric bandages seem to leave behind.
They stay in place, though, until I choose to remove them. I can’t stand bandages that are painful to remove because usually there is a wound underneath the bandage and I want to minimize skin-pulling.
The bandages are individually wrapped (of course), and the seals are much easier to open than those of other brands.
The bandage sticks on seamlessly and feels soft to the touch - it almost feels like my skin.
And the plastic bands have air holes for breathability, so even if they are plastic, my skin feels comfortable.
To me, these bandages are far superior to Band-Aids or other brands.
