While I may spend part of the day in a chair behind a computer, I lead a fairly active lifestyle. Depending on the day, you may find me taking care of the ducks and chickens, weeding the garden, pruning trees, fixing the faucet in the kitchen sink or putting together furniture. That’s just the work that needs to be done. Fun times are active too especially when I’m geocaching or exercising. When I use a bandage, I need it to stay where I put it no matter what I’m doing.

Active Women Need Bandages That Stay On
I’m sure you’ve felt that way at times too. If you think it’s hard to find a bandage that stays on when you’re gardening, try finding a bandage that stays on when you go head-to-head with a high pressure fire hose like Nana. Or how about when you’re dumpster diving? Or having a showdown with a giant dump truck full of dirt? I know I’d need bandages that stay on then too. The dramatizations in the videos show how the bandages can be used in everyday-life.
Nexcare Brand has enlisted an unexpected new product tester, Nexcare Nana, to demonstrate the strength and superior performance of Nexcare Waterproof Bandages and show just how tough they are. Nexcare Waterproof Bandages have staying power. Nexcare Nana conducts intense product tests that put her, and Nexcare Waterproof Bandages, up against their biggest opponents – water, dirt and germs.
Nexcare Waterproof Bandages give you waterproof protection that utilizes innovation and technology to create a barrier between wounds and everyday activities. That’s why they stay in place and stand up to long-wear. The 360 degree seal helps prevent against infection. 3M products are trusted by doctors and nurses for over 60 years so I know that I can trust them too.
I may not be dumpster diving or going head on with a fire hose but Nexcare Waterproof Bandages work great for my active life. They stay where I put them whether I’m gardening or washing dishes and that means I don’t need to worry about dirt, water or germs getting into my cut. I put a Nexcare Waterproof Bandage on in the morning and even after exercising, washing the dishes, gardening and washing my hands several times, it still stayed exactly where I put it all day. It was still in place when my husband brought me flowers later that day.

I am always outside in the garden and doing yard work and have cut my self a few times, I have seen these in stores but never tried them, wonder how they hold up myself, especially in the water.
They hold up really well, Nicole!
Yes, I am very active (especially during the summer at the pool), so I love these. Picking some up on my next shopping trip!
Definitely, Kristin. They are a must have!
Waterproof bandages are a must for me especially since my hands get into water more times than needed through the day!
I agree, Marina! It’s definitely necessary!
It is so frustrating to have a bandage that won’t even stay on while washing dishes. I just knocked off a toe nail and am having the hardest time keeping it covered. I’ll have to try this brand. Thanks!
Oh no that sounds horrible! Hope it heals quickly!
I have used a few different brands of bandages, and this brand has always stayed on the best. I used their larger bandages to cover my belly button while it healed after my umbilical hernia surgery earlier this year. They worked great!
So great that they have a larger bandage!
I use this brand for my kids, I like that they stay on while at sleep and play!
That is definitely a plus!
It’s so nice to know a bandage is going to stay put when you apply it! I love Nexcare bandages!
Very true, Liz!
I happen to be one of those active women who requires a good bandage. Mom duties put my hands through some rough situations.
They definitely do. Moms are some of the busiest people I know!
Everyone needs bandages that stay on! The kids have them fall off all the time!
Very true, Val!
Nexcare are the only bandages in my home. I like you and am always doing so many things I don’t have time to keep chasing my bandages. I love I can go from doing dishes in really hot water to vacuuming and never have to stop due to a loose band aid. No one has time for that 🙂
So true, Laura!
I need a bandage that actually stays put. I hate putting one on and having it fall off as soon as I do something.
You won’t have to worry about that with these!
Oh this is great news! I hate when they slip off all of the time. I love their blister bandaids, too — lifesavers!
I’ll have to try those, Jennifer!
I hate loosing bandages especially when I don’t have another one near by. I am going to have to look into these, my most common place to loose them is doing the dishes and my hands get wet.
I hate finding bandages floating in the dish water 🙁
we go through a ton of bandages in this house. Between the gymnastics, gardening, and all the other stuff we have going on we always seem to have injuries!
I totally understand that, Diane!
Awesome! I totally need to get me some of these! I hate when you move your hand and it falls off!
Me too because I know it’s not keeping germs out that way!
Absolutely, I won’t even buy other brands since they don’t last, especially in water. For myself or for the kids – these are a must have!
I feel the same way, Tammi. Once you find something that really works, stick with it.
I love these bandages, hey really stay on. I am always washing my hands and in water, so this is a great bandage for me.
I was really impressed that they lasted so long even wet!
I bought some of these a few days ago for my father-in-law while he was visiting. We were all impressed with how well they stayed on.
Always a great thing to have on hand for company!
I love these bandages because they really do stay on!
That’s the best reason, Amy!
I need to pick some of these up, with three kids it seems like someone always needs a bandage!
Definitely good to have on hand!
My bandages always seem to come off at the worst times! I always keep Nexcare bandages in the car because I never know when I will need them.
I’m going to be adding a box to our car first aid kit. I love these!
We go through a lot of bandages. I’ll have to give these a try since they seem to work so well.
Definitely! I recommend them!
i love the Nexcare bandages! My hands are always in water or dirt and I need bandages that actually stay put! These are the only ones that do for me!
I feel the same way, Amber. They are perfect for gardening!
Wow these look awesome. It totally bugs me how bandages fall off, especially in summer!
I agree, Aimee. I am in and out of the water all the time!
These are the only bandages I will use since I am in water ALL the time. They never disappoint!
I feel the same way Francine! I couldn’t believe how well they stayed on!
My bandages are always falling off, so I think I will pick up a box of these. Thanks for this today – they sound great.
They really work well, Robin!
