LOL true story here cut my finger one night thought I cleaned up all the blood i spilled before getting the band aid on but the wife found it and asked me if our home was going to be on a future episode of Dateline.
Looks like she has conquered the hardest part, getting the wrapper off. Pulling the the sterile tabs off is the easy part; doing it without contaminating the pad and getting it on the wound is the next hard part. I work over the sink so the blood that is now running down my arm again can drip there rather than the floor.
In a Plugger’s medicine cabinet, there’s probably still a metal flip-top can half full of Band-Aids in the old “tear off end, pull string down” packaging…
I also have trouble keeping the band aid on – even if not on a hand – which will be in water all the time. A good part of my problem is that I have small fingers and toes. So when I put a bandaid on either there is almost no glue touching skin. Glue is mostly touching the rest of the bandaid and mostly it is the pad touching my finger. I try to put them on in the shape of the various charity ribbons with the two ends coming down on angles to try to get the most glued area possible to be touching my finger or toe.

Bleed form a paper cut perhaps?

I’ve found that so many band aids don’t stay on well. Just go with the original or basic brand.

Band aids are good for healing finger cuts that you get in freezing weather.

The Beatles at least, a Plugger favorite, never needed band aids.

Trying to put a bandaid on a bleeding cut always seems to make my bathroom look like an ER room on Saturday night

They need to put that red pull-string back in; easier for me to grab. Yes, I am old. lol

A plugger has to bleed all over their shirtuntil they find where their husband hid the band aids first.. at least that was my latest experience

I unwrap all my band-aids ahead of time and keep them in a baggie for quick access. An unzipped baggie, at that. :)

Actually that is the trouble with ALL packaging. I could never get into any thing with out scissors or a box cutter.
