Adhesive Bandages?

[Barney]

What brand of bandages do you use? I always used BAND-AID but they are expensive. Is there a knock-off brand that makes bandages as good as BAND-AID?

With a herd of grandkids coming and going, band aids are a must at our house. Although the kids prefer having stars and flowers imprinted, I prefer the plain fabric type bandages. They last longer around here because without the doodads imprinted the kids decide their booboo doesn't require one anymore.

In answer to the question, I ran across a good sale on flexible fabric bandages knowing my kit was running low. These have worked extremely well on backcountry outings, despite the dirt, wet, and hand use. Unfortunately, they are made in China. The brand on the box said Coralite bandage distributed by United Exchange corp.

As far as country of origin goes, I just checked a box of J&J's band aids and they are made in Brazil.

The ones I buy from Dollar General are plenty good enough for what I need. I have no idea where they are made.

Hi...


I try not to opt for the high priced ones. I'll look at the package to see what the shapes and sizes are...and purchase accordingly.

I usually end up getting the Band-aid brand, even though they are more expensive. The kids like the characters, and I never have trouble with them. I have tried another printed brand... can't recall the name at the moment... and did not care for them. They were shaped differently and had a different texture that I did not prefer.

We usually get Swift adhesive bandages from Walmart. They're about $1.80 for a box of 100 pcs.

Ditto on that one

I usually get the Band-Aid brand. I usually stock up on a lot of waterproof bandages since it's hot where I live and the band aids usually come off because of the sweat.
