For anyone else coming along, hydrocolloid bandages once you have a moment to treat it.
Sliced my finger open, brand new razor blade, like a yawning mouth. Staunched the bleeding, wrapped a hydrocolloid bandage around it, bloody and dirty and all, good to go. Let it set for 2 days until the pain calmed down enough to re-wrap, showered, another hydrocolloid bandage. No antibiotics, nothing. 4-days, brand new skin, finger bends, no scar. And I'm 54, not exactly Wolverine.
I could sell those things all day long, best first-aid tech I've discovered. Nothing will heal a wound faster.
Yes, they cost way more than a regular bandaid, but you only need one, and you're healed fast. Generic is fine, but as usual, BandAid™ brand works best, better glue and easier to apply. I mostly keep the cheap shit, some BandAid™ for the 'special' wounds.
Superglue for paper-cut wounds! Yes, it stings for 20-seconds, grow a fucking pair, then it's over and healed in 24-hours.
Is this a ad?
The best advertising is word of mouth for good reason
Word of mouth was powerful when I was young. Products sucks? Everyone knows it. Now we have 20 products for niche needs. How can we sort that out?
Did you hear about any of those 20 products from someone else and can you ask that person about their experience with it? If so great, if not, know that 18 of them were made in the same factory and it really comes down to customer support anyways.
If it is it worked.
If I were advertising for BandAid™ brand, I certainly wouldn't mention cheaper alternatives. Learn some discernment.
