Fabric Bandaids are not just any other kind of bandaid, they are the superior bandaid. Why are we announcing this? Well, we feel it would have been obvious, but as we have been discussing it with others we have found many people are lost in the delusion of the superiority of sheer bandages. We are here to help, we are here to set the record straight and declare just why it is fabric bandages are far superior and sheer bandages ought to be banished from all existence. People claim that fabric bandages get all "gooey". Well, all bandages to a degree can get "gooey", it is the glue that does this. However, in our experience with fabric bandages, we have found that the "gooey" residue is generally only left if we have to place one over a fingernail. Unlike sheer bandages, which do not adhere to the glue as much as the glue adhere's to your skin, so that upon removal of the sticky sheer bandage you are not only left with it on your fingernail, but you are also left with a grimy, dirty, "gooey" outline of where your sheer bandage once was. Let us not invite that into our wound, let us simply use fabric bandaids. If you are asking yourself just what a fabric bandaid is, it is a bandaid that is not made with plastic. It looks like a strip of fabric, with glue and gauze, instead of plastic. They are also the bandaids that hold. Sheer bandages will slip off because the plastic quality which makes them sheer does not again adhere to the glue as much as the glue adheres to your skin. You then find your cut or small wound stings because somehow, your sheer bandage slipped off and is now gone. Fabric bandages hold to the glue as much as they hold to your skin and will not come off until you want them too. |
Another big advantage fabric bandaids have over sheer bandaids is that fabric bandaids breathe. Sheer bandaids often have little tiny pinpoint holes pricked in them to allow breathing, but it is simply laughable how practical that is. Fabric bandages, being fabric, naturally breathe. Nothing about them keeps air and oxygen from passing through to your skin allowing for much better healing and breathing for your wound. Upon removing sheer bandages we have found that after a day our skin can get rather white and pale, as well as just plain "icky" feeling. But after a day of fabric bandage wear the effects are much less. To get an adequate "icky" skin effect from a fabric bandage as a sheer bandage would give you after a day, we ourselves would have to wear one for three to five days, depending upon the location of the bandaid. Now yes, it is true that fabric bandaids can be a little dirty looking after a little wear, they are fabric and it has a natural tendency to pick up dust and dirt. But the bandage itself does not absorb it or let it get in contact with your cut! It is merely a visual representation of just how important it may have been to cover your wound and wear that bandaid from the start. Sheer bandaids may not get terribly dirty themselves, but like we mentioned earlier, upon removal you can have that grimy dirt outline around where the bandage was, when you remove a dirty fabric bandaid from your skin it takes the possibly germy crap you want it to protect you from with it. |

We hope we have effectively argued and shown you that if you are to protect yourself effectively by bandaging up a would that fabric bandaids are by far the superior choice. Although many sheer bandages come in fancy colors and designs fashioning the latest hot fads nothing says "I don't really need a bandaid, I just want to look fashionably injured" more. Fabric bandaids, if the manufacturers out there put forth some effort, could present the same ridiculous fashions on a fabric bandaid as they do sheer ones all the time. They just need you to voice your preference before they begin to market it, so speak out, stop purchasing sheer bandaids and go for fabric, the obvious better choice. Put a stop to sheer, demand fabric!
