Nexcare Waterproof Clear Bandages, One Size, 2 Pack, 40 Count

A cannonball off the diving board does not care that the scrape on her knee is only two days old. Neither does the bath that follows, or tomorrow's practice. For the parent of a kid who lives in the water, the real test of any first aid supply is simple: does it stay put when everything gets soaked, or do you find it floating in the shallow end while the cut underneath turns pink and soft?

Nexcare Waterproof Clear Bandages were built for exactly that moment. Each transparent strip seals on all sides - a full 360-degree barrier that keeps water, dirt and germs away from minor cuts, scrapes and blisters while the skin does its work. The film is thin enough to flex over a knuckle and breathable enough to wear all day, holding up to 12 hours through showers, baths and pool sessions. Because the backing is completely see-through, it fades into the skin instead of announcing itself, and the nonstick pad lifts away gently at changing time instead of pulling at what is healing underneath.

This bundle brings home two 20-count boxes, 40 bandages in all, which settles the where-do-we-keep-them question for good. The first goes in the bathroom cabinet next to the toothpaste; the second rides in the swim bag, the glove box or the beach tote, so a scraped elbow at the pool gets covered in thirty seconds instead of waiting out a dripping walk to the car. The adhesive is not made with natural rubber latex, a relief for households that read ingredient labels carefully.

Gardening gloves come off, dish water happens, blisters show up mid-hike. Whatever pulls your family toward water and dirt, these bandages hold their seal through it - hospital-proven Nexcare protection you only think about once a day, at changing time, when you see clean, calm skin underneath.
