This is one strong bandage, they don't come off so watch how long you leave them on. Only neg is that do not stick to them selves only skin

Now this is a great bandage. I will never again buy bandaid brand. The adhesive is strong and yet gentle to my sensitive skin. I like the adhesive edge to the pad and it is non-stick pads. The fabric breathes and yet is durable. The bandaid cover peels open well with ease. Good price for a lot of great bandages.

I read about the McKesson fabric bandages on a different review, and I'm glad I ordered them myself. They are very comfortable and flexible, and stay on until I take them off. Although they stick very well, they are easily removed, and don't leave any residue behind. Definitely a good choice if you are looking for the fabric type of bandages.

These looks boring, they ARE boring, but they work better than other band-aides at a better price. Nice stretchy fabric, does not come off after washing your hands, or taking a shower, or doing the dishes, doesn't hurt to take off. Have bought many other band-aides from the drugstore before, none are nearly as good, most of the "nicer" ones have gimmicks that simply don't matter when they cant get the basic thing right: quality. These are quality, these are simple, these are my brand of choice until they are no longer offered on here!

These are the best bandages we have ever owned and have these in multiple sizes. They stay on for days at a time and do not need constant replacing. They stay on while doing dishes (although they are not waterproof, so we change them after they're done getting wet.) We have very sensitive as well as latex allergies, but we have had no problems with these at all. Highly recommend.

My Fiancé is an RN, when she saw the 'store brand' Band-Aids I was using, she came unglued. We ordered several boxes, and I can tell the difference, they stick, they don't fall off, they don't bunch up, and they come off easily.

- The paper wrappers are easy to remove without contaminating the gauze.- Easy to remove protective plastic strip covering the gauze and adhesive.- Soft but tough mesh fabric.- The adhesive is perfect strength: stays on all day and night, sometimes even if wet, but comes off easy so that thin, delicate 75 year old sun-exposed skin like mine isn't harmed. I wouldn't hesitate to use these on an infant.- The gauze patch is a perfect size and shape to cover most wounds.- This is the brand used at Scripps Clinic and hospitals here in San Diego. To me that's a good recommendation and the reason I first tried them.

I generally buy extremely cheap "bandaids" that are plastic, not flexible, and basically fall off as soon as they go on (it says a lot about my character as a person, unfortunately). Being a profligate user of such bandages, I finally got fed up with the waste and bought these only slightly more expensive bandages. They stick well and are extremely flexible. What can I say? They're pretty great. There is a reason that you find them in many doctors' offices.

I was looking for the industrial style bandages I would find in a manufacturing style facility. Good adherence after getting wet, thick material, etc. these bandages are definitely the closest I could find for home use. One will last all day while getting wet multiple times(baby in the house so I'm constantly washing something in the sink )I bought 4 different styles, based on the reviews of others and I'm glad I did. I will definitely be buying more coverlette bandagesin the future!

I have an ongoing issue with my finger (actually my nail) and my Dermatologist used one of these band aids after he performed a procedure. I asked him where he got them and he didn't know but gave me a handful to use in the meantime. I went on Amazon and there they were. I have to say that these are the MOST AMAZING band aids I have ever used. They are comfortable, flexible and the best part, Latex-Free. Believe me, you will never go back to the standard every day band aid you are used to. I wholeheartedly recommend the Coverlet Latex-Free Adhesive Dressings Strips.

Unlike other fabric based bandages made in China, or most made in the USA, these DO stick to themselves AND the skin. They do unravel, but much less than other brands do. The one I'm using now, to type this review, has been on for 18 hours and only one thread has loosened at the outside edge. This compares favorably against others that start fraying in less than an hour. These DO stand up to going in and out of pockets,and having gloves on, both cloth and rubber gloves (stretchy exam gloves). They are much less weakened when exposed to water, they do stay on! These are labeled as sourced from North Carolina, USA; but I think these are made in Germany, EU as the manufacturer is labeled as Beiersdorf, a well known name in Germany. [BSN Medical GmbH]The pad appears to be of the non-stick (to the wound) type, but make no claims about this. They are absorbent, and have not stuck to my wounds, some open and some closed, even with prolonged wearing, more than 24 hours. They do not make claims about antibacterial matter added to the dressing, neither do they claim to increase clotting time, if the wound is still bleeding, direct pressure over the wound with the dressing attached often works. If not, then these are not the adhesive dressings you need at this time and it is time to seek medical attention.TIP: if you use scissors to cut each of the adhesive sides in two longways, to the dressing pad, before taking off the paper, they become effectively knuckle dressings. They will have 4 "legs" that are positionable around the joint of the knuckle involved.

It is not hard to make a goo small, self-adhesive bandage these days. Use cloth instead of latex for the tape; use a high quality non-latex adhesive that has a strong bond strength but low residue factor, and put a nonstick layer over the pad so that it won't stick to wounds.But such bandages are hard to find, at least at a reasonable price. The Coverlets fit the bill and you will often find them in hospitals and doctors' office where complaints from patients are best avoided.My only complaint is that they haven't quite mastered how to make a wrapper that seals the contents well yet is very easy to open without tearing incorrectly halfway through the pull. After all, one trying to open a bandage is very often someone with one or more cut fingers who doesn't have 100% of normal dexterity. Bandages of any brand in this regard are much better than the days off the dreaded, likely to fail, pull string but not 100% of the way there.I'll take the Coverlets over latex-free Curads or Band-Aids any day, even the their cloth bandages.They don't adhere quite as well as the Coverlets and tend to leave more residue.

Works very well if you need to wear for a lengthy period of time. Does not cause a reaction to the skin as ones with latex can. Wish the center pad was a little larger.

These band aids fray around the edges constantly from the time you put them on.Then you have threads hanging that catch on everything. I had mine on my finger and the threads kept getting in my food. Plus they look really ragged after about an hour of use. I do not recommend these to anyone.Update. I tried the Band Aid brand and they fray too. Seems to be a trait of fabric band aids. They do stick well and are flexible around the knuckle of my finger.

Decent bandage.Too bad it's made in China!But it works good

soft and flexable

bandage stays on even when wet, my only complaint is the color is so far from my fair skin color- the bandage is highly noticeable.

I love McKesson products. They are medical grade productd used in many physicians' offices. I would have given them a 5*, but this order NEEDED MORE ADHESIVE, for sure. I am not sure why this lot was less adhesive than my previous order, but they were. The standard for a quality bandaid is not only the critical sterility, but is it adhesive! Yes, it was hot outside, for sure. I FEEL THIS IS A SIMPLE ISSUE FOR McKESSON TO REMEDY WITH THE RIGHT COMMUNICATION. I did not use lotions or emoillents of any kind to lessen their ability to adhere.

The stick if great, the pad is something that could use more padding. The maker must have cuts that don't hurt.

I really do like these dressing strips when they stick. They don't stick so tight that you feel like your skin is being damaged. They don't adhere readily to even the slightest moisture on your skin, so be sure that your skin is really dry before you apply ... i would buy them again.

I had a mole removed and had to clean and reapply a bandage everyday. By the third day, the adhesive really irritated my skin. I've also used these for blisters on my feet that I wore until they fell off without a problem, so i think it's the pulling off/putting on that was so irritating. I probably wouldn't buy these again for that reason.

Good -- discovered the brand in my Foot Dr's office. backing surrounds the gauze pad nicely and is quite moisture proof. Unfortunately, the bandage becomes very well attached to the wound site and is a bit difficult to remove and leaves a fair trail of adhesive on area where applied.

I was forced into purchasing these as a substitute for the no-longer-available Nexcare 1" bandages which I used for years. I find 1" wide bandages a necessity, because I have big fingers, and the 3/4" just don't cut it (pardon the pun). I use a lot of them for all the cuts I get from construction and flintknapping. These Coverlets are almost as good as the Nexcare, but not quite the same. They are a tad thicker, so don't conform quite as well as the Nexcare (which, in my opinion, were the best bandages ever.) But, they do adhere well, including when they get wet. However, the area over which you are covering with the bandage must be absolutely dry when applying to get good adhesion. Then, they will remain attached even if they should get wet (I'm talking even after a shower!) You may know the old saying about a bird in hand... well. I'd rather have a box of these Coverlets than nothing at all.

These are almost perfect bandages. They have the adhesive on all four sides so as to keep any wound very nicely sealed. The pad itself seems larger than usual as well so it will cover larger wounds easily. These are also one of the few bandages that are truly repositional. If you happen to need to partially remove it for any reason the adhesive will reapply itself securely without any issues. These are also the most elastic bandages I have ever used so they will stretch nicely if needed, but be careful when putting them on that you take that into consideration.The only bad thing I have noticed so far with these is the smell. It sounds silly I know, but these do have a very distintive smell (reminds me of being in a doctor's office) that I find slightly irritating. Being a tad accident prone I have used numerous bandages in my life and this is the first time I have ever found myself disliking a bandage for its smell.Made in Columbia these are (as long as you aren't sensitive to the smell) some of the best bandages around.

They don't hold up to water.

I have bought these before. This time I would say they are not the usual standard that I receive. They do not hold as well. they also irritate my skin. Most band-aids so, but these never have before. I am just saying this was perhaps a less than perfect box this time. I will order again and hope I get some better ones.

I've ordered these before and they are great! Unfortunately when I finally had to go and use some from the new box I realized they sent the wrong ones! Ahhhh! These incorrect bandages are very small and a different color :(Would be ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ if the product was correct.

I have mixed feelings. The bandages themselves are great. Durable, stick well. That's the reason I ordered them.These are NOT for people with sensitivities to adhesive, though. Like so much so that it ate my skin after wearing it for a day. Not their fault, mine. But I can't order them again because of it. I know they are GREAT if your skin doesn't mind them though.

Its a bandage that all, sticks good

The fabric and adhesive is good. Stays on, is flexible and doesn't fray like some other fabric bandages I've tried. The main issue that drops two stars off is the fact that the bandage pad does not go all the way to the edge. There is a 1/8 of an inch strip on either side of the bandage part. This makes the 3/4 inch band-aid 1/2 inch. You also can't double up to cover larger areas, or angle things slightly to fit the area without the adhesive part hitting the wound. I the search continues...

didn't need to use one yet

I ordered these after reading all the rave reviews and I'm just a bit disappointed. They are comfortable and priced well. Another plus is that they cover cuts on all sides so when you bend your finger or elbow they bandage does not lift up. They don't stand any sort of water so as soon as you get them wet they fall apart. They waxy papers that cover the adhesive (the ones you take off before applying the bandage) have a very short flap on top of the middle section gauze. So unless you have very small dexterous fingers, you end up fighting with the bandage to get the paper off and compromise the sterility of the bandage.

The outside wrapping of each band aid was difficult to get off. It appeared stuck to the paper. Then when you remove the tabs that cover the band aid they often flip backward and give you a band aid that is not usable. Then you have to open another to finally get one that does on the hand.

The bandages themselves are fine. For me they still caused my skin to get red and have red bumps.

These band aids are ok. I thought they would stay on better when wet but they do not. Just like the other band aids I have purchased. Plenty of coverage for the wound. I like the fact that they stretch a bit. Good value for a regular band aid.

Buy local drugstore brands with the soft fabric flexible covers and you will be as satisfied as with these these.

Packaged and shipped in a manner that the box was crushed and we had a lot of loose and twisted bandaids. Lost some usage... about 10% ... made this a more expensive choice versus buying locally

Coverlet do not seem to hold up well. Other brands will last through a hand washing or two, but these seem to fall off readily.The price was the main attraction for the first purchase, but the tried and true band aid brand has definitely out competed these.Two stars for being better then plastic, but not by much.

These were great until I developed an allergy to the adhesive.

The adhesive quality was so much better in the past. No longer recommend this brand. Too bad, cause it was the best I had found.

Adequate, but WalMart's product is more flexible and has a color the matches the skin better for us average caucasians. It's also cheaper and you won't have to wait.

I have a mild latex allergy so I was pleased to find this product on Amazon. I recently used two bandages over a two day period. When I took the first off - the area where the bandage had been was red. I thought that was from the skin being pulled during bandage removal. When I took the second off it was clear that I had a rash. It was the exact outline of anywhere the adhesive had touched. It took two weeks for the rash to heal. This product was not a winner for me.

HORRIBLE product. This product used to be one of the best bandaids out there. NO LONGER. Outsourced to Columbia and the product SUCKS. Does not stay on, falls off immediately when worn. TERRIBLE product - figures, once leaving United States for a cheaper way to make the product, quality goes in the toilet! Nice going BSN-Jobst........

didnt appear to be made of fabric on outer side of strip.

First of all, I wanted to rate the Coverlets Strips with the highest 5 stars.We are completely satisfied with the Coverlets Strips which we have used for years.We were down to our last 5 Coverlets, and when I order for my husband & myself we always order extra and make sure children also have anew supply on hand. We like them due to the fact the bandages on until they are taken off.When our supply runs low again, we will definitely reorder, which won't be for a long time.Thank you,Sincerely;Mrs. Shirley J. MillerEvansville, IN 47711

The adhesive works fine, strong enough to stay on all day, but not so strong that it's too tough on 70 year old thin skin. But, there is a problem. The adhesive fabric does not breath well, I tried "sucking air" through it just to see - all but air tight. Add to this that the gauze pad does not extend to the edges, and this bandage tends to get and stay damp. I'm not the sweaty type, tested the bandage on a small wound on my upper arm. Removed bandage after about 20 hours which resulted in skin maceration due to hyperhydration.Maybe okay for cut fingers where the bandage would be replaced every few hours?Edit: Lowered rating to 1 star. I'm not allergic to anything I know of, but I am to the adhesive used on these. Red rash developed with tiny blister.

I needed it for a finger and wore it for several hours then got a very bad rash under the pad (not under the sticky parts) which took several weeks to disappear after using all kinds of medicated creams and ointments to heal it.

These bandages so not stick at all. They stick for about 10 seconds, then the ends start curling and rolling up and are useless. They are not what I would call fabric either. I will stick with Band-Aid brand flexible fabric. The Band-Aid ones stick forever, even if you get them wet! Band-Aid brand look better, feel better, and are much higher quality in my opinion. These were cheaper and somehow had good reviews, but I guess you get what you pay for. Junk, buy Band-Aid brand instead!
