I needed to replenish my bandage supply because it was nearly gone. I didn't want a cheap brand because if you're always replacing one that doesn't stick well or is poorly designed for a particular location, I'd be throwing my money away.
So when I found this variety pack, I was thinking that 280 bandaids was A LOT OF BANDAIDS. Had there only been 2 or three different sizes of the normal rectangular strips, that'd have been a hard "no" for this item. HOWEVER...
There are 5 different sizes and shapes with clear and "sheer" (pinkish skin) colors. Of all the shapes that adhesive bandages come in, these are the ones I use the most (I do a lot of work with my hands on car repairs, home remodeling, gardening and landscaping, even some small construction projects) and this will suit most of the "damage" I inflict on myself. I'm going to hunt up some of the other types but I don't need the quantity that these common bandages are supplied in this box.
The other cool thing is that compared with the absorbent pads of the past, the biggest technology advances have come into play in the part that actually contacts the wound. I remember having bandaids that I'd remove and have to slap on another one quick enough that I wouldn't lose a pint because the pad pulled the scab off. Not anymore. The absorbency of the pad is even better while the non-stick characteristics that allow you to heal more quickly have made magnitudes of improvement. The expression "ripping off the bandaid" will soon lose relevancy and in about a generation, kids won't know what you mean.
I also thought that the price (over $14) for a box of adhesive bandages was kinda high until I looked at how many items come in this package... there are 280 bandaids, folks... that's about 5 cents each.
Still, I wanted to do a comparision to what I could get in the pharmacy, so I went to my local C*S and R*te*id stores and scoped the shelves. First of all, it wasn't possible to get this kind of quantity in ANY brand, let alone a quality brand like Band-Aid. The biggest box I could find was 140 items. Then I took a look at the price: a box half the size of this unit here was the same price, or maybe a bit more: $15 for 140 adhesive bandages and not a brand of this quality.
Even if you use only a bandaid a month and there are only two adults in your house (no kids who are constantly needing patches or engaged in semi-professional blood-letting), this won't be your last box of Band-Aids but they'll be plenty sticky down to the last one.
Go with this item if you're in the market for adhesive bandages. It ticks all the boxes.
