anyone find a bandage that will stay put even if it gets wet

these new ones come off even from sweat


Not a bandage, per se, but a waterproof, rubberized tape that is slicker
than greased owl ****.

I have a persistent problem with on fingernail on my dominant hand that
continually will start to split.Â* I'll catch it on something and it will
split further.Â* Only rarely can I super glue or keep tape on it long
enough for the damn thing to grow back without catching it on something
all over again.Â* Just had a small piece break off a week or so ago.
Looking at the drug store I found this flesh colored, rubberized tape
said to be waterproof.Â* Damned it it wasn't.Â* I put one piece on the
nail longitudinally to protect the area of the nail bed that was exposed
and one piece to make it around the circumference of the nail (about 1 ½
turn), not too tight.Â* After three days there was no sign it was giving
up its hold but I wanted to "air it out" to let the skin breath a bit.

I found a new best friend.Â* Bye-bye Super Glue, you never worked that
well for me anyway.

I would love to give you the name but it was in a blister pack and I
tossed the packaging and just keep the unused portion of the roll in a
zip lock sandwich baggie.Â* It was, I believe, a major brand and I bought
it at the local Jewel-Osco (food & drug chain) owned by Albertson's.

It should not be difficult to find it if you look.Â* Works like a charm
and for a bandage, just roll your own with a bit of gauze or . . .

I have found that a good emergency bandages is a roll of paper towels.
I carry a roll in all of my vehicles that are stored in a plastic bag.
While it may not be perfect the bag keeps it clean, strong, and it can
soak up a lot of blood.

I realized the importance when we came upon a car wreck. The victim had
the type of skin the came off in sheets, I don't know what we would have
done with out paper towels.
