I am accident prone and have quite delicate skin which cuts and blisters at the slightest chance. Accordingly, I am an officiando of plasters and have a large stash in my bathroom cabinet, handbags and first aid kit box. These are one of the staples of all three. This is a cardboard box with 40 individual strip plasters in. This is useful as these are the plasters I tend to use most often and while I do also have boxes of mixed plasters and speciality ones for the blisters I am a martyr to, the strip ones are perhaps the most versitile and so the ones I go to first.

I feel that they give greater flexibility and allow me to move the area where a ...  Read the complete review

I have bought cheaper plasters in the past and when they say you get what you pay for, it is very true. These are my preferred plaster of choice, either these of the long strip of plaster, so you can cut off the amount you want. The box is quite easy to recognise with its red and blue front. There are 40 plasters in this box and they are individually wrapped. These Elastoplast plasters are not waterproof which is a slight disadvantage but to their credit they are remarkably sticky.
