Bandaids....(Not a Debate Thread).

[Poohbear123]

I am very sensitive to Bandaids. When I have to wear one, when I go to take it off, it takes my top layer of skin with it! So, my question is---WHAT brand do YOU use, that doesn't take your skin off when you take it off. Thanks!

If you are using it for a cut, I highly recommend liquid bandage. It seals up the cut without adhesives.

I only buy Band-Aid brand because the cheaper store brands cause irritation from the adhesive. My second choice is Curad, for the same reason.

I actually had a growth removed from my Right Upper arm. The Dr. put a bandaid over it, and now I not only have the gross wound, I have a part of my skin near the wound, off. So, no bandaid, just Neosporin on it.

I use baby oil to help get Band-Aids off. Jusy rub baby oil aroung where the Band-Aid is & it comes off MUCH easier!

A nurse told me a solution to adhesive irritation earlier this week. She suggested getting Mylanta and rubbing it on the area first. After it is dry, then apply the bandaid. The Mylanta acts as a barrier between the skin and the adhesive. Sounds crazy, but it should work.

Band-Aid brand and Curad brand both make a sensitive skin bandaid. They are getting harder and harder to find, but they are out there.

I bought those when I couldfind them. They have disappeared from shelves around here.

Mylanta - is that the liquid form?

Thats a new one, and I am sure I will try that next time! Those Sensitve Bandaids are HARD to find, I only have one kind in my store, and that is the small round circle ones.
