I need to buy better band-aids
The cost of medical supplies is political
Elastoplast has some good bandages that tend to stick on in water more often than not.
Staples and super glue wont move and you can be getting blasted by a riot control vans fire hose.
Super glue is best, clear nail polish can also work in some cases
I use medical strapping tape. It has many uses. When wet it moves around a little, but once it dries again it sticks in place.
Better bandaids won’t help, even the waterproof ones don’t stay on fingers. Just too much folding and bending to ever get a good seal on your finger. Liquid skin might be the only answer.
Band Aid Sport Strip, fam
Everything else is a pure waste of time
Idk their flexible fabric strips work great for me.
Those, if put in dry, will not come off for DAYS of hand washing and showing… But you should prob change them every day.🩹🩹
Thanks for the tip!
Funny memes. No politics.
