Flex-Band Fabric Adhesive Bandage, Oval, 1 1/4" x 1", 100/BX

excellent bandage, good adhesive, good flexable fabric.

Some time ago, I purchased a box of Band-Aid Clear Spots. They were almost impossible to use as described in my review of that product. Since then, I purchased a box of these Flex-Band bandages. What a difference. These are so much easier to use. The backing paper comes off easily and the bandage itself is a bit sturdier, so much less likely to tear or crinkle up. They also stick better, even in the pool or shower. I had a couple of each type on when I took the grandkids into the pool the other day. After half an hour, the two Band-Aid bandages were floating on the top of the water. The two Flex-Band bandages are still on today, several days, and showers, later. The Flex-Band bandages come in better packaging. The box is easier to use and each bandage is packaged separately. The Band-Aid bandages have two bandages attached to each other, so I have to take them out, separate them, which sometimes causes one to tear, and then replace the other one. Hartmann is able to get 100 Flex-Band bandages in a box that is about the same size as the Band-Aid box containing on 50 and more than half empty. The Flex-Band bandages are also slightly cheaper. You get 100 for $8.29 or 8.29 cents/bandage. The Band-Aids are 50 for $5.65 which is 11.3 cents per bandage. That’s 36% more expensive. The only downside of these as compared to the Band-Aids is the color. These are a dark tan. On my might Scandinavian skin, they are very visible, whereas the Band-Aids, while nowhere near invisible, are much less visible. This is not much of a problem for me as I am not trying for any beauty contests. This is probably because the Band-Aids are much thinner, which may be necessary to make them more clear. The Flex-Bands are totally opaque. On the other hand, the Flex-Bands lie perfectly flat, which not only makes them much more comfortable, especially under clothing, but somewhat less visible. I have trouble getting the Band-Aids on without at least a bit of a wrinkle or a tear, which compromises the blending in with the skin. Overall, these are much better than any other small bandages that I have used and far superior to the Band-Aids. ymmv

I got these Flex-Band® Sterile Fabric Adhesive Bandage 2" x 3" Patch because I needed a bandage to cover a surgical incision on my hand, and these are some of the best bandages I have ever purchased. I have been using them every day for the last 5 days, and I will continue to need to wear them for the next 4 days. They stay on all day long, they have not peeled on the corners, even when I got them wet. They are easy to remove. And best off all, they do not give me a rash from the adhesive.

Does the job. But adhesive doesn't really work that great after just a few hours.

A bit smaller than expected, but perfect for bug bites. Adhere very wrll

I have tried every fingertip bandaide out there,and these are definitely, by far, the best. They stretch for a great fit,and they stick until you are ready to take them off. There are none better!

Perfect for finger tips. Gives plenty of material to cover and stay put. Highly recommend

bandages stick very well. however, as another reviewer noted, the pad is so small. maybe good for a small slice. i took a good sized chunk out of my thumb chopping veggies (and muttering under my breath about the ex). it doesn't cover bc pad aligns over the center, when my chunk is slightly off center. will keep this box as it sticks pretty well, but next time i may look elsewhere.

Box was put in an envelope and smashed flat. But the bandages work well
