There's a spray version of this product, by the way, but the wipes give more control of application (keeping barrier substance out of the wound, for example). You can peel it off (easier if you first apply an extraneous layer of the barrier fluid), but it can flake, so you have to take care to keep the plastic flakes/particles out of the wound area."
"This stuff works great, my wife had a leaking biliary drain which causes severe skin breakdown, along with the tape and tegadrerm burns, when I started using the no sting barrier film her skin cleared up an d no more tape burns."
"If you are frequently changing adhesive bandages on the same spot, this is a must to protect skin."
"They are literally a life saver in particular when I sweat a lot and it holds everything in place."
"This stuff works great if your skin gets irritated from adhesives that you need to apply or be exposed to."
"My husband uses fentynol patches and we put Tagaderm adhesive over them."
"These work perfectly to protect the area around the wound BEFORE placing the band aid cover over it."
"However, it seems like an adhesive remover is a must for full ostomy skin care, and Sensi-Care/Convatec wipes (purple label) remove this film no problem."

I allow this first layer to dry, which I sometimes hurry along by placing the area in front of a small fan. In order for it to remain in place, especially in areas with frequent movement, you should apply at least two layers. -I cannot emphasize this enough: Make certain that all bleeding has stopped and that the wound area is clean and completely dry before applying liquid bandage."
"This is a great product for minor scrapes and it especially shines for paper cuts."
"After I did the dishes I realized the more skin was peeling with this liquid bandage hanging from the peeling skin."
"You will receive the new product....gone is the oil of clove, and the magically sealing, pain relieving liquid that has rescued my hands many a time! I had to get up in the middle of the night and dig out my old bottle to apply.....instant pain relief."
"Active: (Old) 8-Hydroxyquinoline 1% - Antiseptic. Inactive: alcohol 6.7%, oil of cloves, pyroxylin solution. The older formula scent was not quite as strong since it was primarily oil of cloves, and was more pleasant, but would last with you throughout the day. Now I made the purchase because in the area called Important Information the ingredients section noted that this was the old formula. but when the package arrived and I checked the box I was disappointed to find out that the listing on Amazon was incorrect, and this is the new formula."
"Because this stuff is volatile and appears to be flammable, I wrapped the bottle in folds of wet newspaper and put it in the trash!"
When applied, the thin shield provides a soothing, breathable, waterproof protection that promotes healing of skin. Compact size for travel.

"While they flex (slightly) and allow wound to breathe these bandaids have severe limitations."
"They know what real quality and care is regarding products."
"I am a nurse who loves this particular band-aid!"
"These band aids generally go on the bottom of my feet (I'm lucky and have plantar warts so I use these to "protect" them after using Duofilm) and I can attest to the fact that they're pretty secure and don't fall off after an entire day's worth of walking."
"For real wounds, stick to band-aid brand."
"The large Band-Aid, bought from "Medical Products Depot", started fuzzing after folding one towel."
"The nail is coming off my middle finger, so I am carefully using a band-aid so it doesn't rip off."

"This tape works best applied to body instead of over the counter tape from the store that looks exactly like this."
"I have used this tape for years for altering sewing patterns, as well as for taping down buttons to hold in place when machine sewing."
"Use them on your pets, use them as sticky notes and markers - stick one to your kid's forehead and record temps, etc."
"Great for the kids who are always getting cuts and scrapes and don't need a full band aid or in a spot where a band aid won't stick."
"The tape is great, but I'd reallly like to have at least one dispenser in the box."
"Because the tape lasts, it stays on and doesn't cause skin irritation, and older people wind up getting so many skin surgeries it's just wise to be prepared to be able to dress all those "wounds"."
"I bought this product for my husband, to help cover his wound."
