Do You Keep A Supply Of Different Size Bandaids?

[Lon]

Because of taking Xarelto and having thinner skin subject to simple cuts I keep a supply of twenty different sizes that I received via AMAZON last week. I have right now, one on my right thumb and another on my right forearm.

There are some in the medicine cabinet. I can't even remember the last time I had to use one.

I guess I'm too careful doing what I'm doing.

I have a box in the bathroom of different sizes but don't remember the last time I used one.

 

[SeaBreeze]

Yes, we have some different sizes besides the normal ones, had to throw a lot of old bandaids out, just had no stick anymore. I like the fabric ones that have a little flex to them. We also have some of the tiny butterfly bandaids for small deep cuts. Luckily we don't have to use bandaids too often, last time was when I was cutting my evening apple with a sharp steak knife, slipped a little bit, nothing serious though.

Yep. Butterfly bandages have saved me numerous trips to the ER.

Not sure if I'm clumsy, a klutz or just plain ol' accident prone but it seems like I've never been able to do hardly anything without getting scratch, cut or scrape etc.......always have Bandaids in the house along with super glue to close deeper/ bigger cuts.

Always have with me in glasses case a couple, tried them all but buy the best I can fabric ones 2 sizes

 

[HazyDavey]

We keep a homemade first aid kit in a old suitcase that has lots of different band aids.

 

[Wren]

Always keep a box of them in my bathroom cupboard and a few in my handbag

 

[helenbacque]

Always have them on hand. I'm also a bit klutzy. Me and a sharp knife often equal blood.

Use tape wrap & gauze, buy it at the farm stores in different widths. Doctor suggested it as the best for senior's thin skin. Also keep a tube of Super Glue handy for cuts.

 

[Pappy]

Different size gauze pads, as can't use bandaids on my arms. Tape tears the skin. I put on neosporin (sp) then a gauze pad, wrapped with a paper tape. A real pain, but it's the only way I can do it because of my blood thinners.

I keep bandaids around for occasional kitchen cuts. When grandkids were little I had to keep ones with Scooby Doo on them!

 

[debbie in seattle]

Bought a box of bandaids at Costco..............will never need another box again

My question is whether it's better to cover a wound or leave it open.

My question is whether it's better to cover a wound or leave it open.

Cover it. It reduces the chance of infection.

 

[HiDesertHal]

Make sure your wound gets ventilation under the bandaid.

Covering it keeps out debris but allows healing.
