Band-Aid Review: Sport Strip Extra Wide

        The ankle is such a weird part of the body, and I always end up cutting myself whilst shaving my legs, and I'm currently wearing one of these to keep it from getting dirty.

        Observation #1: It doesn't stick to wet skin. These seems kind of obvious, but I didn't realize my leg was still slightly moist when I popped the Band-Aid on, and it fell right off.

        However, it does stick to skin when wet if applied when dry. It'll stay on if it's raining or in the shower, but I still change it after word because the pad gets wet as well and you don't want a wet pad with rain water or soap rubbing against an open wound.

        The texture is rubbery and it's very flexible, so it'll stick well on an awkward place like your ankle, finger, etc... My sister is sensitive to latex, and she doesn't like these because they can leave a rash, but otherwise, they're very comfortable. 

        In the picture below, the adhesive is very noticeable - it's like a sheen over the rubber outside. This means it does stick to the skin very well, even if you take it off once or twice to readjust or check on the wound.

        Also, it comes off pretty well. If it's on the stomach or arm or some place with soft/sensitive skin, it'll still sting a bit coming off, but otherwise it's great at removing.

         As you can see, the adhesive actually extends just a tiny bit beyond the rubber outside. This is the source of my biggest complaint. Dirt will stick to the adhesive, and when you peel off the Band-Aid, there's a perfect outline of the Band-Aid in sticky dust and dirt that you have to use your fingernail or rub really hard with a wash cloth to remove.

        Obviously if you're only wearing the Band-Aid for an hour or so, this isn't going happen very much, but the longer you wear it, and you can wear it for several hours without it peeling off or getting uncomfortable, the more dust and dirt with gather around the edges. 

        As I mentioned in the first Band-Aid review, the Quilt-Vent pad is very nice and comfortable. Since you usually bleed a lot when you cut yourself shaving, it's nice for the blood to not be in constant contact with the cut, since it's not totally hygienic.
        This type of Band-Aid gets a 4/5. What would you rate it?
