TL; DR these work absolutely amazing for blisters and burns.
Pros:
-waterproof
-stays on for multiple days
-keeps wounds clean
-speeds up healing
-shape is a good size
Cons:
-price per is expensive (I wouldn’t use on smaller wounds because of this
-does not stick long on the bottom of your feet
I’ve used these for several wounds now, from blisters on the balls of my feet, to the back of my ankles and for burns on my children’s fingers. I’m highly impressed at the lesser scarring and the fact that they stay on and are easy to remove without the adhesive ripping your skin off.

Estas curitas son lo mejor para las ampollas, es una lástima que no las vendan en todas las farmacias de México porque sirven para ampollitas por fricción o quemaduras, recomendadas e indispensables en tu botiquín en todos los tamaños.

These work miracles, as someone with a lot of ongoing skin issues. As long as the skin around the injury is dry, these stay adhered very well, even when you wash your hands. In fact, hands are a very important use case for me, since it keeps the injury site clean and doesn’t collect water from handwashing the way cloth bandaids do. That said- depending on if you need some very creative angles on your hands, the All Health brand might be better, because it’s much more flexible- though All Health doesn’t cushion against pressure as well because of that. Band-aid brand is especially good for mostly-flat stretches of skin, or ones that curve only a little. (Band-aid brand is also eligible to be paid for with FSA or HSA funds, while I have not been able to do so for All Health.)
For both brands (and indeed the others I’ve used as well), though, if a little water gets under the edges, it will start to peel up early and you’ll want to replace the bandage with a new one- water getting underneath will have the same effect on the bandage as the fluid draining from the wound, which is to say it will absorb it and stop sticking.
Relatedly, if a wound is seeping too rapidly (or bleeding more than a very little bit), these won’t have time to absorb the fluid and it will just build up under the bandage until it leaks out (though at least it still won’t stick to the wound site in that case). In that case, I would recommend starting off with a more traditional bandage with some kind of medicated ointment (neosporin or some other kind of antibacterial, or, if you’ve cleaned it thoroughly and it doesn’t look like any chance of infection, zinc oxide ointment to help dry out the wound a little), and wait until the wound has healed a little more and seeps a little less. Then you can switch to these hydroseal bandaids, which seal out contaminants and cushion the wound. (Be aware that these bandaids don’t work particularly well with any ointments under them on the wound. The residue of zinc oxide when it’s dry seems to be fine, and any ointment that dries completely might be fine, but it’s even recommended on the bandaid box to skip any ointments, creams, or lotions, to ensure they will stick correctly.)
In my experience, if the wound is still seeping even a little blood, these will be less effective in healing. They work best on wounds with small amounts of clear discharge only. Even if the bandaid itswlf seems to behave the same in both cases. I don’t know why.
For blisters, either you can just stick one on top of the closed blister to cushion it and absorb any disrcharge through the skin; or you can carefully pierce the blister, clean it thouroughly with isopropyl alcohol, and then put the hydroseal bandaid on it; or you can carefully remove the entire flap of skin over the blister, clean it with isopropyl, and then put one of these on it. In my experience, all these have their place- I would leave the blister unpopped for as long as possible so the skin underneath can start to regenerate in natural conditions, but if it’s starting to become painful due to the pressure of fluid buildup or physical pressure on the blister location pushing the fluid around and causing the skin within the blister to tear, you may find piercing it helps. In any case, making sure the whole thing is very clean is important. And for blisters in particular (as opposed to scrapes with fluid discharge), no matter whether you’re leaving them closed or not, keep the hydroseal bandaid on as long as possible, and don’t try and remove it before it starts coming off on its own. This is important in general, but for blisters it seems to be even more important. Not sure why.
Also, IMPORTANT: Don’t use these over a wound that shows any sign of infection (and/or little tiny blisters the size of a pinhead appearing around the initial wound site). That will just spread any bacteria around, and then the infection will get worse and then your skin doctor will frown at you and you’ll end up needing a bunch of oral antibiotics. Which, in my experience, is troublesome. Learn from my experiences, and if you see anything even vaguely like an infection, look into the appropriate medicated ointments and traditional non stick bandages instead. Maybe consult a doctor about it if you can. If you need those waterproof, I’m pretty sure clear bandage covering adhesive sheets exist, although I have not yet tried them.
Overall these are a very important part of my medical supplies and work absolute wonders- as long as they are used for the correct situations.
Also, prices fluctuate a lot, so check Amazon often, and look up different bulk listings, and compare the unit prices. Amazon has still been usually better than the local stores, but it’s not guaranteed.

I love the new colloidial bandages, and I especially love these band-aids that have been tailored to fit over fingertips and knuckles.
I’m always getting little nicks and cuts in my fingers, as I work with my hands. These bandages work better than any other for speeding the recovery time, and they do seem to help with pain. They’re cut to fit well over the strange bendy areas of fingers and knuckles, and they do seem to last longer than other shapes of the same type; these types of bandages also seem to hold onto the wound better and for a much longer time than regular bandaids, but even they will eventually fall off if you’re careless in getting them wet too many times. Even so, these are worth it, and I try not to ever run out. I have a stash at home, in my office, and in my car. The only problem is when I run out, and then I have to cut down a larger bandage to fit my finger, but remembering to stock up on these helps offset that problem. I also like getting them for a better deal here than at the pharmacy.

It will keep the wound moist, making it take longer to heal.. For everyone else with faster tissue regrowth, its better..
If you are diabetic you can eventually use it, but I’d determine if the wound is healing.. The best part about these
bandaids is that they make the wound invisible, unless the would produces moisture, then these will show up white..
I have about 5-10 of these on my legs, I’m a type 2 diabetic.. And I simply seal the wounds and forget.. You can shower and
they don’t fall off.. Another thing to beware of if youa re diabetic is that these adhere a bit more to the skin, and will pull the
wound apart, this is why you chouldn’t use it until the wound has mostly healed or unless it is a shallow scratch.. Don’t use it on bigger wounds

I cut my arm pretty deeply, with a screw sticking out of a wall.
These bandages/ plasters create a waterproof seal over wound.

It made my face feel a little cleaner, but didn’t really do much with my pimples. I’d say to use those small pimple patches instead.

These work so well for our toddler and for kitchen accidents! Put it on and leave it alone, a week later it will be ready to come off and your injury will (likely) be healed! We gave these as extra gifts last Christmas just to help people see that there is a better way to bandaid, not everything new is better but these really do work!

So, I make fruitkebabs for the youngs in the morning, and my very fancy machete just decided to go all Moses on me and part a Red Sea in my finger whilst I was slicing a delicious mango. (It’s always the mango.) Of course, I felt that gaspingly instantaneous pain and although I know bandaids are stoopid, I grabbed what was in my, shall we call it, bandaid box. I am almost at a loss for words at how amazing this bandaid is. Blood everywhere, it didn’t care, just sealed it right on up. In the little folded manual, it even says, Don’t peek. So I left it on, even did dishes and some hand laundry, still perfectly intact. I finally took it off today and it’s a clean heal. $5 for the finger win.

I’ve used these on small 2nd degree burns, and cuts that required stitches.
Put them on, leave them alone until they start to peal off. If at a joint, may require a wrap to secure it as joint flexes. When they come off wound is healed a lot more than expected. After 2 weeks, doctor proclaimed burns were healed enough that a covering wasn’t need when she expected 4-5 weeks to heal.
They will stay on even in a shower.
