BANDAIDS
Band aid are the easiest to apply but dont offer much absorption beyond a day if the cut or wound is leaking.
However not all band aids are created equal and some offer more protection and designed for blister care
Applying a disposable glove over finger and toe wounds in the shower help keep dressing dry.
