Aqua Protect, 20 Strips

Plasters were fine, but much smaller than expected and only two sizes. The largest was around 2mm to short for a broken blister on my heel in size and it was painful to put shoes on to walk without heel rubbing so desparately wanted good full cover protection. However, Tried it and the sticky part on the edge of the actual wound irritated the already healing blister on a bad fit making it a bit worse again. Generally - so difficult to get the right size in plasters, normally too much of one or two sizes in most packets that never get used anyway and are very expensive. But could not find a DIY type. so I had to go back to cutting an akward shape again from a rediculously large dressing - took ages to fit but was the only thing that worked in the end - I had tried loads (not cheap) and was still unable to find the perfect waterproof plaster in an adequate size that did not come off in the shower and protected me in shoes so I could walk out again. Blister plasters don't work for me as once its broken its too moist and still comes off in the shower. Heel plasters were not quite big enough and not waterproof. Recommend plasters but double check on size and quite thin if you need more padded protection but good if you want something lightweight - plenty leftover for another time.

I bought these because I needed to cover an insect bite while swimming and found that they are really good and much better than generic brands. They are super-adhesive and I didn’t experience any water getting in through the seal. I found that having the plaster on my bite stopped me scratching and really improved healing so now I am using these for bug bites even when not in the water. They feel much lighter than normal dressings and because they don’t peel at the edges they don’t bother me as much. They are most cost effective overall because you don’t have to keep replacing them.

Easy and simple to apply and doesn’t slip off easily in showers for example, which is good, but it did slip off easily after around 10 mins of swimming that’s all.

These plasters are brilliant, stay on whilst swimming, completely waterproof. They are that good, not easy to take off 😅

Good

I bought the Elastoplast Aqua Protect plasters for my daughter’s foot, hoping they would stay on through washing and swimming. They are definitely waterproof, which is great, but I found that they didn’t stick very well on her foot and came off sooner than expected. The plasters are comfortable and easy to apply, and the waterproof feature works, but if you need something for a foot or other tricky area, they might not hold up as long as you’d like. Good for small, low-movement areas, but not ideal for feet or places that get wet and rubbed a lot.

Good plasters for underwater.

These stay in very well
