Amazon Basic CareAdvanced Fast Healing Hydrocolloid Gel Bandages, Large Adhesive Pads with 2X Faster Healing, Heels & Toes Blister Prevention, 1.1 x 2.3 inches (6 Count)

Over the years I have developed a bit of an allergy to band-aids. Paper tape + gauze only goes so far so when I got a rather nasty cooking burn on my arm, I went to Amazon (yay same day delivery!). I found these - I had never even heard of a hydrocolloid bandage but the price seemed right so I bought a pack.You know how a burn is; you lose a layer of skin. It hurts, weeps and is really sensitive. When I slapped one of these on, it was like applying a new layer of skin. No more pain.As a wound weeps, the bandage turns white and swells so I did keep replacing it - really didn't need to - to make sure there was no infection under there. But no. After a week, all healed. There's a little shiny dry skin but it looks like it won't even scar.So I bought 2 other sizes of this bandage and gave away all the old boxes of bandaids in the medicine cabinet.Yes, these are not really cheap but given how rarely the average person really needs a bandaid, still a good deal and truly do seems to make a wound heal more quickly and certainly more painless. I hate to use a cliche like "game changer" but there is a world of difference between these and the bandaids I grew up with.Oh, and no allergic reaction at all to these!

First the cons: none, other than the fact that you have a wound.Pros:• pretty easy to apply hygienically.• no need for antibacterial, you're actually not suppose to have antibacterial products on the wound.• will stay in place for over 4 days, even when I swim every day. This is on my bald head, may not last on a finger, knee, etc.• a protective gel develops where it contacts the wound, helps with healing and protects the cut from pain if you hit up against anything.• keeps the wound continually moist, no scab leaves less of a scarIt doesn't mention in the description, but it's helpful to cup it in the palms of your hands for a minute, while still in wrapper. The heat from your hands makes the bandage more malleable, for a tight fit.

I heal really slowly from chronic illness and these bandages are the only thing that keeps me from scarring. I cut them into pieces and use them as zit patches. Way more economical than actual zit patches

Just received the item. The only thing incorrect is the product size that is listed below is different than the dimensions on the box. These are definitely smaller than the size listed under product specifications.

Helpful product!

I've tried various brands of the silicone healing tape. Some it's just too much, from China and I can't remember the brand, and scar away tape works great but it's very expensive. Then I found these. Plenty of them in a box and the little size works well on crooked scars because one big one won't cover it all. Very happy with these!

Still good but a bit over complicated to open each one for use

Wow!!! These bandaid are not bad. Not as big as I was expecting but it will do. Thank goodness I ordered 2 boxes. They hold on strong. For a person dealing with HS (abscess) it really works and help. I will recommend these. They are affordable, has stretch to cover up wounds
