I am allergic to the adhesive on normal bandaids and medical tape. These are great because I can apply them and not have to worry about itchy, red, irritated places later. I only wish the sizes were a little larger, comparable to normal bandaids. That's the only thing that kept me from giving them 5 stars
Good product for skin sensitivity to glues and adhesives.
I have an allergy to adhesives used in bandages. Some medical professionals say that it is a sensitivity to latex but I am not so sure. I have never used latex gloves but I have been around chemicals all of my life. Never had a problem for most of my life but something changed in recent years. I don' t know if it is age or the bandage and adhesive manufacturers have changed their raw materials and manufacturing process. Bottom line is I cannot allow any sort of adhesive remain on my skin for more than a couple of hours.
The Nexcare Sensitive seem to work for me. At least I can wear them overnight without harm. The only issue I have had is that the adhesive does not extend out to the very edge of the bandage making it easy to rub off when underneath clothing. They are better than nothing in that respect. I am glad I found them.
I highly recommend these bandages for those who cannot tolerate the adhesives of other bandages. They never leave a red, itchy area, and do not irritate my skin. I am glad I found them. I have occasion to need bandages after skin surgeries, and need to use them daily for 2-3 weeks. Never any irritation.
