Transparent Dressing Adhesive Bandage Waterproof Clear Adhesive Bandages Stretch Tape for Tattoos Swimming (8 Inch x 5.47 Yard)

This works great! I like that it’s able to be cut to any size. It sticks well, yet not TOO well that it doesn’t remove easily.)** I prefer using this instead of tape or Band-Aids for that reason alone — it’s wonderful for sensitive areas of the skin. I’ve experienced no adverse reactions to the adhesive. It holds up well in the shower but, sometimes, NOT through excessive body heat over the course of the day. (**I’ve noticed that it’ll melt to/stick to the skin and somewhat disintegrate — making it difficult to remove later. Rubbing alcohol seems to break-up the adhesive and help it to detach from the skin at that point.) I DO find it cumbersome to un-peel and apply, though. Unless you have good eyesight, lots of patience and a longer fingernail to use in separating the plastic/vinyl layers, it’s nearly impossible to get to the flimsy, ‘sticky’ layer! It DOES take lots of practice to get the hang of and I would suggest practicing with this stuff BEFORE its usage becomes necessary around a wound. For even somewhat difficult-to-reach areas, another pair of hands are highly recommended. As it is my first time ever using this stuff (and my first few applications bombed) and there were no clear directions included with the roll, I asked fellow Amazon shoppers to offer some guidance… Basically, ‘trial-and-error’ and ‘patience/practice’ were the responses I received. However, the best advice offered was to remove the white layer FIRST, apply the adhesive side to the wound or bandage, THEN peel-off the clear layer. That tip alone made it so much easier to do! UPDATE : I have finally gotten the hang of this stuff and must say: it works great and is so versatile! I only used it as a full bandage cover for about a week. After that, I cut off 2” strips and then cut those in half. I used the smaller pieces to secure each side of my padded wound cover (made my own band-aid). They had enough ‘sticky’ to keep the gauze pad secured for over 24 hours. Unlike adhesive bandages and medical tape, this caused no adverse skin reactions on my sensitive skin. (Oftentimes, I’d wind up with a WORSE condition than the one I was covering if I used those things.) Because of its versatility, I will be buying different sizes to keep in my first-aid kits! Suggestion, though: don’t do as I did and trim ALL of your fingernails short! While you’re needing to use this film, keep at least ONE peeling fingernail longer for easier application.

works! good adhesion without over doing it

This tape is a lifesaver. Don’t think, buy it! I have to wear a heart monitor, AGAIN!! They never stay on and I hate having to constantly hold them when I move or bend, and keeping them dry in the shower is impossible. I’ve had to restart heart monitor studies all over again due to poor contact because the monitor won’t stay adhered properly. I’ve tried every kind of tape known to man and nothing works, UNTIL, I discovered this life saving tape!!! This tape is so easy to use and it covers the whole monitor, the side tapes and the monitor itself with ease. No more worrying about the monitor falling off, or getting wet in the shower, or the stupid thing not adhering simply due to normal perspiration. I don’t know about you, but I have not yet mastered the art of not perspiring for two weeks so the monitor won’t fall off, in 80 degree weather. Covering the monitor with this fabulous tape keeps it on and no more worries. The quality is fabulous, the amount is abundant, the cost is great and shipping is lightning speed. What’s not to love? So go ahead, but with confidence!!!

The material is not by any means water proof. But it is water resistant. You must first clean the area thoroughly with alcohol and let it dry. Then you need to avoid constant direct with water. It works well as a dressing for showering so long an you don't let water continually wash over it. I have followed these steps and used it successfully about 95% of the time for months now, but it will not create a waterproof seal for swimming.

One of my biggest pet peeves is people leaving bad reviews when the negative things that happen are possibly things they did wrong or something that could possibly be on them. I totally get what everyone is saying about the peeling and the bumps and the redness but here's the gist. You do it wrong - it's not going to work. Make sure you clean around the area and make sure it's DRY around the tat. Otherwise it WILL NOT STICK. Your skin MIGHT react to a chemical in the plastic which could cause an infection. There's NO way to know whether that will happen or not. If you used Saniderm and didn't react, and used this and reacted, that's because you're not using SANIDERM. It's possible the chemicals are different or the plastic is different or whatever. I'm not a scientist. But don't bag on the product because you have sensitive skin. I've used it on all my tats. My leg tattoo reacted poorly to the plastic and it didn't go well. I iced it and put Aquaphor on it and it's fine now. I still used it again and guess what??? It worked fine everywhere else! It won't be the same for everyone. But as you can see in my images, the plastic is nice and tight on my arms. great breathability and I've had them on for 3 days now. No more redness; they're healing great! When I had it on other tattoos and removed it, there is definitely a residue. If you wash it off, you risk washing the ink off your tattoo.. Let it bug you for a bit. It's not that big of a deal. It's a bit rough to take off because it sticks so well. The corners may peal back a little so make sure to give it room. Also, the top layer will ALWAYS come off. It's your skin pushing out the ink from the initial work being done, not your actual tattoo. If you leave it on for 3-5 days, it helps with the healing. Hope this helps! It's def a good value!
