Band Aid Bandages By okyots on Jan 25, 2008 - Updated Oct 15, 2011

If you have a small cut, Band Aids are what you need. They are very small, portable and easy to use. Just peel the paper off the adhesive portion of the tape, place the gauze over the cut and wrap the tape around your finger. Be sure not to wrap the tape around your finger too tightly or you will cut off blood flow to the tip of your finger and that isn't good. The only 'bad' thing about Band Aids are that sometimes they leave sticky residue on your skin and if you have a cut on a hairy place on your body (like your arm), when you take the bandage off it'll hurt a little bit. The best way I've found to take them off is to just rip it off really fast so it's off and over with quickly. So, if you have a cut, get a Band Aid.
