I hardly ever use them. Last time was when I cut my hand on a plastic box. I washed it, noticed the skin flapping around a lot, put a plaster on, picked up my wife from the station and went to the hospital where they gave me five stitches.

Much to my wife's annoyance, I said I'd cut myself a bit, rather than exaggerating, but I was seen almost immediately. I don't know if it was because I was polite or that the last time I was there I'd walked in with a heart attack so they took me seriously this time...

I don't use bandaids. I let the blood coagulate and that stops it on its own. Only time I ever use anything is if I cut my hand while handling knives/food or products other people might come into contact with. In those cases, I use a paper towel and layer it around with something like a rubber band. After my cut dries, I take it off like an hour later

Depends on the kind of cut and where I am. Waterproof if I’m at a beach/pool, antibacterial for anything else.

Cleanse with iodine first... as used in hospitals everywhere it destroys bacteria and viruses better than almost anything else you can buy easily and as a bonus it is a mild chemical cauteriser. Then I prefer fabric to plastic bandaids. They flex without starting to peel off.

[CaptainSmartass]

I just use your typical bog-standard plaster.

Simples...

[Kayla45]

Simples :)

[CaptainSmartass]

:) You should start using it offline. Tell people the Captain uses it :D

Waterproof is usually a good choice for me. I'm pretty active and I just and the thing to stay put for a while so I don't get blood all over my clothes.

[AviatorTom]

When I have a small cut or scrape, I typically apply some Polysporin or Neosporin and a classic bandaid. I believe the Brits call them plasters.

[goaded]

We do.

[permanent]

The only ones that stick to my skin for longer than 30 seconds seem to be cloth/flexible fabric bandages.

[Phoenix98]

Just whatever is available if no Band-Aids are available I just use duck tape.

[Wiredone]

I usually use pvc glue or super glue to close the cut. If I don't have either handy, I wrap it with electrical tape.

[SamIam96]

A cute design eases the pain better.

[queenofcardio]

Usually standard

[WhitneySnow]

I just use standard

[exitseven]

just the fabric ones.

[FunkyMonkee]

Whatever's handy.

[AgentG111]

Minor would it even need a bandaid?

[Kelly6]
