"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."
"Works well with Stoma powder... Just give it a minute to dry before putting any tape or adhesive bandage on it."

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."

"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."
"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."
"This is geat stuff."

"This material is amazing for keeping my Dexcom G5 dry, just wished they offered a patch that is more like a Bandaid to cover the sensor!"
"Its nice to know the patch is secure, and my mom is very sensitive to dressing and glue but these never leave a rash or redness."
"The burn center used these, and they were so perfect that after the burn was grafted and healing, I decided these would be great to keep around for my lil ones and family."
"This does not irritate my skin at all unlike the medical tape this is important because I have to change the patch every 12 hours."
"The same product just a different box from what you buy in stores in the Nexcare/3M Tegaderm box of 4, that package is $$$$!"
"This residue can only be removed with alcohol (tried cold cream, baby oil, olive oil, butter and mayo) and a paper towel and quite a bit of rubbing!"
"Thus a box received a year ago expires six months later than the box I just received!"

"The cots work great for me."
"Staple for me as I have a split under my thumb nail."
"The cots are a good value."
"I ordered this box of finger cots to supplement the meager supply that the pet pharmacy supplied along with the formidable "put this gel on your cat's ear 3x/day but DO NOT GET IT ON YOUR SKIN.""
"Grafco Finger Cots Box of 144 - Medium work very well for me but I need a larger size for my thumbs."
"Have almost run through them!"
"This is not strong at all I barely use it and notice already have a hole."
