We have come to use the Nexcare clear waterproof bandages exclusively because unlike all other generally available adhesive bandages they do not give my wife an almost immediate rash.
However, the image that Amazon displays is of the wrong product. We have been looking for a one-size box as the two small sizes in the assortments are virtually useless. I however, being visually oriented, saw the prominent "20 - One Size" label and clicked to order them immediately.

Even if I had read the description, Amazon seems to refuse to put the bandage sizes in any of their Nexcare listings. The 3rd-party vendors usually list the sizes - sometimes even in the item title - but with the packages Amazon themselves carry you have to guess blindly what sizes are included. So 5 points for the Nexcare line, but 2 points for Amazon's data-entry monkeys.

These bandages stay on well and keep wounds very dry. I've used them while swimming even, no issues. I know of no other product that when applied correctly works so well.

But the skin needs to be clean, as well as your hands if you touch any of the adhesive when applying. If not, areas won't stick. Which will start peeling and leaking.

Also, while waterproof, they also don't breathe as well as some other bandages. So if some water does leak in, you'll want to change this ASAP. Perhaps switch to a fabric bandage at night as well.

This is a little fancy with the new technology! The band aide peeps off the main envelope and once you apply it on your wound, you peel off the outer white piece and you are left with a tightly sealed and clear wrap. The best is that I can co time with the house worker have a shower the band aide does not fall off. Breathable? I noticed once it peels off there is no white wrinkled skin! I like this a lot and the price more than just right!

I wash my hands all the time and regular bandages never stay on. These stay! They even stay on my 5 year old who tries to pick them off and she can't because they stay stuck. I won't buy any other kind from now on. Great for people who wash their hands at work a lot.

I did an online search for prices for these expensive but very good quality bandages to cover small cuts on my fingers that I get from eczema. Since I can go through about 10 bandages every day, the price adds up. So I was excited to see what looked like a good price, with an additional discount available for those who wanted to "subscribe and save." It was only after I placed the order that I realized that the package had only 20 bandages, rather than 50. I immediately told Amazon to cancel the subscription, but the order remained in place for shipping and unavailable for edit. So really I'm reviewing the Amazon program and not so much this product.

As far as the Nexcare waterproof bandages are concerned, these are the ONLY type of bandages I've found that stay in place on my fingers through multiple hand washings. The adhesive holds firm, and it apparently is a type that doesn't irritate the skin of my sweetie, who often has allergy troubles with bandage adhesives. I recommend trying them, if you can afford them.
