Safety First Aid Group, HypaPlast Pink Washproof Plasters, Fingertip (Pack of 100)

great idea but unfortunately when you wash your hands, it comes off.

I purchased these as a replacement for the ones used up inside the first aid box, we've since used one of these for a fairly deep cut and they worked really well. We found that the plaster would work well, have good coverage and allow for some good pressure to be applied to the wound given the way you can apply these style of plaster.We did notice however, that they would usually only really stay well applied for about 8 hours or so, towards the end of the day the plaster would be lose and if left on, in the morning it'd likely have fallen off in the night, so we usually re-applied a fresh one before bed so don't really stand up to the wear and tear of a usual day with nothing intense going on. As for water resistance, this would be throughout the day of washing hands etc, but we'd usually take showers between re-applying the plaster so can't comment directly on how these hold up to showers.Value for money you can't really complain, they do their job, you get quite a lot of them, so having to reapply them once or twice a day really isn't a huge issue considering the cost. I'm sure if you'd like less plasters, you can purchase them for cheaper in smaller quantities from Supermarkets, Pharmacies or somewhere like Wilko, however for Amazon, these are probably some of the most affordable plasters you can find if you're looking to top up a first aid kit, put some in the car etc like we were aiming for.

Although these players don’t like coming out there little packets, they also don’t like coming off your skin, so they actually stay on for 12 hours, great quality, thank you

Does a job short term but not adhesive enough to last long.

Value for money

I bought these plasters in good faith, to stock up my First Aid kit. The first plaster I used di not seem to be very sticky and after I wrapped this around my finger, fell off within 30mins!Thinking ths may be one defective plaster, I tried again the next day and the same thing happened. I tried one last time only to have a repeat of the first 2 failures to stick. These dressings are useless; not at all fit for purpose and a complete waste of time and money.

These are "waterproof" plasters. That alone should have told me all I needed to know. I have yet to find any that deserved the name. However, I have had good experiences with this brand, having stocked several first aids kits with their products and bought one of their own and found them to be very good and cost effective. So I decided to see what their plasters had to offer. Always need them to hand, right?To be fair, as waterproof plasters go, these have been rather good, relatively speaking. And by good, I mean that they mostly stayed in place for longer than a minute.They are thin yet strong, making them feel very light and stick well to themselves, which not all plasters do. Those are the good points. As they are not breathable, the skin quickly becomes damp and stays damp. Any moisture destroys the adhesive's hold on skin completely, though it still holds well to the material. All this means that this shape of plaster ended up being more of small, wet sleeve on the fingertip that was always wanting to fall off or needing replaced.It is worth noting that five out of the hundred plasters were rendered un-usable due to faulty sealing, perforating and trimming of sheet packaging. That's a 5 percent loss due to poor quality control.Conclusion; if you like or need waterproof plasters for some reason, then by all means these are worth trying. They seem marginally better than average within that type. But if you want a plaster that will stay in place and protect a wound or anything else without constant replacement, try a good fabric plaster instead.While I still like the brand for many first aid products, I won't be buying their plasters.

The only thing that is good about the box I received is that the plasters were very sticky. That can also make it tricky to apply them when your fingers are nearly all in a bad way. Once one part of the plaster sticks to the other it's not possible to reposition it. Sadly, they don't seem to stick to my fingers!
