Having a flex bandage for minor cuts is a very good idea. However, these bandages do not hold up to water at all. By the second time I washed my hands the bandage would no longer stick around my finger. The sink water made the adhesive completely inert and it just would not hold. After replacing several of these Band-Aid Brand Flexible Fabric Bandages I went and got a traditional plastic adhesive bandage. These are good for skin cuts along joints where you have a lot of movement but just don't get them wet.

I use to buy the J&J FF bandages in a metal box, and ran out. Bought the same titled bandages in a cardboard box last night, and what was once perfect,
now do not stick. I had to get a roll of tape and tape the bandages on
my two feet. I was so disappointed as I have told so many people
about the wonderful bandages.

What good is a bandage that does not stick?

What is a Coverlet brand fabric bandage. Saw in a review those
are better. Johnson & Johnson use to be my brand..got to check
out some other brands.

Most of these reviews seem to have one thing in common: they complain they come off in water too easily.

I'm a runner, and these are the BEST protection for men's nipples during those long runs. Forget those other "nipple guards" that cost $9 for 10 pair, you can get 5X the amount of protection (50 runs) with this box of bandages for the same price.

And the issue that other people are complaining about is a godsend to me. These come off easily in the hot shower, and don't irritate the skin. The non-fabric Band-Aid's (and other brands) are much more difficult to remove.

I will buy these time and time again. Thanks Band-Aid for making a perfect product even if it isn't too conventional.

I really like these b/c they are 1 inch wide. It's not easy to find a box of just this size. I like the flexible fabric as well. I have used them for a long time.

Because these bandaids don't stay on well, my husband and I have to top them with 3M Transpore (clear plastic) Tape to hold them in place. (We do a lot of gardening and need to seal the cuts on our hands against dirt after applying antibiotic cream.) When we later try to remove the entire dressing, the 3M tape peels off easily, but leaves the bandaid in a terrible mess underneath. The top layer of the flexible fabric bandaid separates from the mesh grid underneath, and shreds into pieces. We're left having to individually peel off tiny pieces of fabric and mesh, which takes some degree of time and effort--something that doesn't happen when we use standard bandaids under the 3M tape. Granted, we don't use the flexible fabric bandaid alone the way it's designed, but we can't because it doesn't seal well enough to keep cuts clean so that we can do our work.

These bandages are completely worthless when it comes to keeping a wound clean and protected from germs. The inside sterile pad extends to the edge of the bandage on both sides; there is no adhesive to seal around the wound. I do like the fabric rather than plastic, but it you want to keep a wound clean, rather than just protecting it from bumps, buy the fabric Curad or Coverlet bandages.

Once they get wet they come off. These are not made for children. They get their hands into many things that will ruin the adhesive on these bandages. I purchased one box and still have it half full. We returned and still use regular band-aids in my house.

These are essential if your job calls for a little old-style cutting and pasting. Cut fingers at deadline are too frequent when you work with an exacto blade. I like these, especially, because the flexible fabric is much more comfortable than the old plasticy feel of original band-aids.

Finally you can buy bandaids in a box that doesn't have just a handful of the ones you actually use on a regular basis. These may not stick in the presence of water, but the fabric is comfy and they won't come off on their own as long as they're kept dry. I go through an unfortunate number of bandaids, and these are the ones I keep coming back to. Combined with some ichthammol to draw out infections and splinters, these are as much as I could ask for.

The Coverlet brand fabric bandages are the best you can buy. They FAR outperform the Band-Aid brand. The Coverlets have adhesive completely around the sterile pad making it possible to really protect a wound from germs. I wasted money on the Band-Aid brand as they are only good for protecting a wound from bumps; they do not completely seal the wound.
