Advantages: Waterproof and keeps germs out

Disadvantages: smells bad, feels horrible and takes days to come off

Ok I'm going to confess I haven't actually ever bought this item, I spraed it on one night in Tesco to see how it worked. I sprayed it on a slight cut on my hand and regreted it as soon as I sprayed it.

The smell was absolutely awful, it smelt like those fabric plasters mixed with burning plastic. The smell did really make me gag and I don't usually mind anything like this as I love the smell of fabric plasters.

It is quite discreet though as it is see through and meant to be quite flexible, but to me it felt like I had super glue stuck on my hand and looked like it as well.

So wandering round the store with my partner giggling at me for being so "daft" as he says I really struggled to get this off my hand. It left a red rash like mark all the way round it as well. I thought once I got home itd be ok as I could just scrub it off and it would be ok. The 40mile drive back home was bad the smell was unbelievable and I ended up having to have my window slightly open to get rid of the smell.

Once home I went straight to the bathroom and put soap and hot water on and started to scrub....10mins later I was still scrubbing, it wouldn't come off at all. So I then tried this stuff that takes oil and other stains of your hands (partner has it for when he's been working on the car!) Still no luck!! 3 days later it finally started to come off after I rubbed it and scratched it at every opportunity, by this point the cut under the plaster was a lot worse than when I put the spray plaster on.

The good thing about this is it really does keep the water out of your cut which is a good thing if you dont suffer from a rash like I did from it (and you can handle the smell!)

I did manage to notice the price, it was for sale in Tesco for £5.69 for a 32ml bottle. It is quite expensive for the spray but it does state that it'll do up to 50 applications. It does also say that is skin friendly which is suitable for all skin types, but it certainly didn't agree with my skin.

Overall I definately wouldn't buy it. It smells awful, it feels strange and takes days to disappear. It's also very expensive for what it is I would rather buy plasters and put up with them rather than put up with the spray plaster.

Summary: I wouldn't recommend
