Review on πŸ’ͺ Curad Heavy Duty Assorted Bandages: 3 Packs of 30 ea for Powerful Wound Care by Adam Stone

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Decent bandages for first aid

I confess I have this thing for bandages. Maybe it's because I'm a bit accident prone, but I like to have a good supply of bandages on hand. So I recently bought three alternatives to try: Curad Extreme Hold, various sizes, 30 pcs (pack of 3), 20 Curad Flex fabric bandages and Jobst Beiersdorf blanket fabric, latex-free, 1x3 strips, 100 pcs graph. First off, this Curad Extreme Hold comes with a large selection of 18 standard 7/8" x 3", 4 fingertips, 4 knuckles and 4 extra large 2" x 3 3/4" wraps per box. . Unlike Flex-Fabric bandages, they are made of non-elastic fabric. As their name suggests, they really stick. I put one up to test this claim and found it not easy to solve. I played with it a bit with my finger and it stayed tight. To remove it I had to intentionally use the tip of my finger and bend it back. Unfortunately, after the bandage was removed, the adhesive was noticeably damaged, and therefore the possibility of its reattachment is limited. Durability seems only average as after a few hours of "normal" wear I noticed that the fabric was already fraying at the edges. Ultimately, if you're looking for a bandage that you can put on and wear all day, this is probably the way to go. On the other hand, if you are looking for a bandage that can be "painlessly" removed with hot water (or in the shower) I would encourage you to keep looking as as the name suggests they are extreme hold.

Pros
