Customer Reviews of Band-Aid Brand Adhesive Bandages, Tough-Strips, Finger-Care, 15-Count Bandages (Pack of 6)
Customer Review: They're Strong and They Stick, but They Don't Look So Good
Summary: 4 Stars
As I work in the I.T. field, I find myself typing a great deal with a computer keyboard. I also work with a lot of computer hardware components with sharp and rough edges, so it is very common for me to have small cuts and abrasions on my fingertips. So I'm sure you can imagine how painful it is for me to continue typing on a keyboard with these cuts on the ends of my fingers. Sure, I can run to the company's First-Aid kit and grab one of those generic fingertip bandages, but they don't stick well, and their stiff material makes it difficult for me to feel the keys and type accurately. That is why I always bring my own Band-Aid brand Tough-Strips, Finger Care bandages to work with me.
These bandages have a heavy duty fabric construction, with a very strong adhesive surface. These puppies stay in place, even when they get wet from repeated hand washings throughout the day. The fabric material breathes well also, so the skin under the bandage doesn't become all pale and shriveled, like it does with those cheap, plastic bandages. They are also extremely flexible, allowing my fingers to bend freely, even when the bandages are applied on knuckles joints of the finger. I love these Band-Aid brand Finger-Care Tough-Strips so much that I buy them in 6-box multi-packs from Amazon. Each box contains 10 wrap around strips, measuring 1" x 3-1/4", with one end that tapers, and 5 knuckle bandages, measuring 1-1/2" x 3-1/4", with cutouts on each end to easily wrap around knuckle joints.
Even though these are my favorite finger bandages, they are not quite perfect. My biggest complaint is that they start becoming frayed at the edges, causing ugly threads to hang, which sometimes get snagged when I am repairing equipment with my hands. After wearing them for only a few hours, they become very tattered and ugly looking. It becomes embarrassing when I have to meet and shake hands with a program director or project manager, while I have this unsightly bandage on my finger. But I have learned to trim the frayed edges with a scissors, from time to time, in order to limit the eyesore somewhat. I am willing to put up with the poor look of this Tough-Strip bandage since it works so well in every other manner.
So for long-term looks I give this product 2 stars. But the adhesive properties, flexible and breathable fabric, and overall comfort of this bandage is worth 5 stars. Overall I am rating the Band-Aid brand Finger-Care Tough-Strips 4 stars. I honestly feel these are the best finger bandages on the market today.
Customer Review: Individual Wrapping
Summary: 3 Stars
Band-Aid is just OK...once you get them out of their wrap. Your fingers are cut, split, bleeding, whatever, and you are trying to open the individual band-aid wrapping. There is no easy place to access the band-aid. You must get a pair of scissors to cut along the edge of the band-aid packaging and then try to separate the wrap. I would NOT buy again.Customer Review: BAND-AID TOUGH-STRIPS "NOT SO TOUGH"
Summary: 2 Stars
The fabric that this Band-Aid is made from frays badly. It stays in place but needs to be trimmed often because the fabric degrades with normal wear. The fabric has an open weave instead of the tight fine weave of most Band-Aids. Did not like this "Tough-Strip" will not purchase again.Customer Review: Do not use on small children
Summary: 1 Stars
Our 2 year old granddaughter opened a Band Aid Tough Skin and stuck it on her check. It was also partially covering her ear.
When we tried to remove it she was in intense pain and it looked like it was pulling the skin off her cheek. She is at the doctor right now to try to get it removed without damaging her skin further. We tried to loosen the bond with alcohol but had no success.
The Johnson & Johnson consumer phone number on the box had a recording to call back during business hours. This is Sunday afternoon. We cannot wait until tomorrow. They need an emergency hot line. I would have been glad to pay for the information.
There is no information in or on the box to tell one how to remove the band aid if it has been applied to a baby's skin.
In very tiny hard to read print on the bottom of the box there is a statement that says "not intended for use on delicate or sensitive skin". There should be a WARNING in bold print on the box and on every band aid. There should be instructions to tell you how to remove it from a child's skin.
I guess such a warning might hurt sales.
