Flex-Fabric Standard Strip Bandages

I don’t give 5 star reviews lightly on anything. Unless I really like whatever it is I’m reviewing. My skin is extremely sensitive and delicate. I’m also severely allergic to latex. I have used bandages which purport to be latex free, and within five minutes or less, my skin itches and ends up burned. As in very beet red. I have a wound which requires bandages. I used these with some trepidation. They were very easy to remove from their individual packets. This was a sweet relief to see. I applied a small amount of organic aloe vera gel onto the pad and placed the bandage on the wound. Then I waited to see if there would be a skin reaction. I have been using these since they were purchased and have not had any problems. So, even with skin like mine, these are excellent. The adhesive is perfect. A few times, I needed to reposition the bandage. I literally held my breath the first time I did this because removing bandaids hurts me a lot. Not this time. It removed easily. No screaming in pain. Even after reapplying it, the adhesion held firmly. My wound sometimes bleeds, so I was concerned that the small pad might not adsorb it very well. I was impressed to see the pads were up to the task every time. But then, they’re Curad bandages, which is excellent.

i recently developed an allergy to adhesives. my skin is SO sensitive, even when i use hypoallergenic bandaids like welly's, i get bandaid-shaped burn marks on my skin, blisters and all. these were recommended to me by a friend because silicone-based adhesives don't have a chemical reaction to skin like other adhesives (look it up! there's even scientific journals about it), and i'll be darned, they caused me no issue at all! they do feel a little different than traditional bandaids; the adhesive part is weirdly thick, so that might feel kind of unusual at first. they stick pretty well though, about the same as any other bandaids i've used. i'm just amazed by how much they don't agitate my skin. highly recommend!

great bandaids for those with an adhesive allergy

These are truly ouchless!! I had some stitches on my neck, just below my jaw, that I needed to keep covered. The fabric band-aids I initially used painfully pulled my skin whenever I had to remove them. I removed them twice daily (morning and night); by the third day, I was already hating those aggressive band-aids. So, I looked for an alternative and found these. And yes, they are pain-free. The trick seems to be in the adhesive, because although these stayed attached 12 hours straight every time, they were super easy to remove, even with only one hand. No need to use one hand to grip the band-aid and the other to keep my skin in place, away from the pulling. Just removing is easy and super gentle. I'm so happy I found them because I had to use them for 5 more days, and it would have been a nightmare for my skin if I had had to continue using the other regular band-aids I initially had.

tl;dr; Great for sensitive skin. I’d like to replace all of my bandages with these, but they only come in 2 sizes. This is a great bandage for people whose skin is irritated by the adhesive on ordinary bandages. No irritation at all from these, even after using them for multiple days. Easy to remove, and you can reposition if you don’t get it on quite right the first time. I also recently gave some to a friend who needed to use one on an area of very fragile skin, and they said they could use it and remove it without damaging the surrounding skin. Their dermatologist even approved of its use instead of a large patch that would cover both the wound and the fragile skin without putting regular tape on the fragile skin.

Having sensitive skin I've had difficulty with almost every brand of bandage adhesive, but I've never had a reaction or rash with these. I consider them a life saver. Grateful they are on the market.

Great for skin that tears easily

I am allergic to normal Bandaids. So much so that if I use a regular bandaid on even a small cut, the rash from the bandaid ends up being worse that the original injury. Even 24 hours is too much for my sensitive skin. So I hunted online and found these. They are perfect! They might not stick as tight, but they also don't irritate my skin. I can wear them for 24 hours and have no issues. Highly recommend these for those with sensitive skin!
