and falls happen. So it's off to first-aid with band aids. But the band -aid won't stick!

Anyone find some great holding band-aids out there?

Thank you!

What can I do next?

My guy picks his off within minutes :(

So I now use New Skin Antiseptic Liquid Bandage...dries clear into a protective cover that is antiseptic, flexible, waterproof and lets skin breathe, everything you want. Covers the wound to keep out dirt and germs...and everyone can see their battle scars, lol ; )

I use medical tape over bandages to really help it stick AND keep the dirt out.

I have never had a problem with Band Aid Brand - but if you put too much cream on the surrounding area a touch of rubbing alcholol will remove it enough to stick. Just keep it away from the actual cut and you will be fine :)

I don't know, I just use the brand-name Band-Aids and they seem to work fine. My daughter loves to stick them on herself for the least little thing and sometimes even in the tub they don't fall off!

I would probably make sure their skin is clean and completely dry - and make sure the band-aids are not too old. I've found that sometimes after a while, the glue just doesn't hold as well.

I thought you just spray the wound with antibacterial spray and let it breath...no band aid. I could be wrong though and I can't remember where I heard that.

Band Aid brand with the waterproof seal stay on the best out of the ones we've tried. (plus the Star Wars or hockey themed pictures make them pretty popular around our house)

Pretty much you have to go over them with medical tape or first aid tape but know there will be some hair removal when they are removed. Nothing ouchless is going to stay on a sweaty wet kid.

I find that most plastic band-aids do not stick, therefore for the past 5+ years, I only only bought fabric band-aids. They always work for me! Unless of course, the kids peel them off, then there really is no solution....

My opinion is to stick with the name brand Band-Aid. You get what you pay for.

If you get too uch neosporin etc, just use a qtip with a bit of alcohol to dry the area around it for good adhesion.

We also used medical tape a lot.

yep band aid brand only.
And make sure you wipe off around the cut so it's not wet with anti bac spray or creme.
