Bandaids That Don't Stick (Rant) - 04/17/18 02:58 PM
Pardon me while I rant:
Why is the adhesive on bandaids (all brands, not just one) getting worse and worse?
When I apply one to clean, dry skin, it falls off in a few hours. I have to put white tape around it to last the day.
I thought it was just me. But recently I found some old Elastoplast bandaids, sealed in plastic, in the pocket of an old pack -- probably 10 years old. I used it on a nick on my finger. It stayed on for four days, through repeated washing and everything. The ones I bought recently -- same brand -- don't even last half a day.
Does anyone still make a bandaid that stays on?
