Misleading Description, Poor Quality, Small and NOT Hypoallergenic!
I was desperate to find a less expensive bandage. I've been spending more than half my monthly income (yes, half) on bandages for the last month and something has to give here, so I took a chance on these. What a disappointment!<br /><br />Yes, the bandage is 2 x 3, but the pad area is about 1 x 1, much smaller than a name brand's pad normally is. The only thing that the package says is latex-free. There is nothing that says gentle or hypoallergenic the way that name brands, or even store brands do.<br /><br />I've learned over the years the hard way that being just latex-free isn't enough. I am very allergic to most adhesives and only bandages marked gentle will not break me out.<br /><br />I can use a store or no-name brand as long as they say they are gentle or hypoallergenic.<br /><br />I took a chance and put one on my arm to see if it would bother me. I wasn't about to put it anywhere near my already-sensitive wound. About 10 minutes after I put it on, I started to itch.<br /><br />Yes, they are cheap, with good reason. I should have been suspicious when the company didn't bother to show a photograph of the individual bandages.<br /><br />The pad is ludicrously small in comparison to the adhesive area. There is no reason I can imagine to have it be that small.<br /><br />When the price seems too good to be true, apparently it is. Now I have to go through the hassle of returning them. Amazon will pay for the return, but I have to find a way to get downtown to the UPS store to do it and wait to get my money back.<br /><br />Shame on this company for misrepresenting this inferior product!!!
