i carry these in a snack-sized zippered bag along with my lipstick, little mirror, etc. in my coat pocket all the time. i have them on clips at my office near a tube of antibiotic ointment & alcohol swabs. i have them at home all over the place & in my car. the moment you feel your shoe irritating your foot skin, slap one of these on that spot - sometimes i even fold one in half & cut a circle out of the middle before i remove the adhesive protection to let a spot simultaneously air & be protected. the moment you feel the top of a ankle boot shaft sawing on your leg, slap one of these on your leg or the inside of the boot to give it a little distance/coverage. slap under a sandal buckle. put just above or below your ankle bump to guide your shoe away from that area. have a minor bleeding paper cut, slap this on it. a great thing about it for minor bleeding cuts is that it has adhesive all the way around, so blood can't get out the sides & onto your clothes or shoes. have a minor pimple you are harassing, slap this on it to keep it safe from you. i hear anyone complaining about their shoes at work, i whip out one of these & of course if appropriate whip out my shoe stretcher as well. i have been known to be walking out in public & seeing a woman doing the classic my-shoes-are-killing-me gestures & insisted she slap these on where needed to much appreciation.

This Band-aid is very difficult to peel off. Consequently, either your finger will touch the padded area for potential contamination or the sticky part will stick to your finger so making it wrinkle. I love the size for small cuts and scratches. But the earlier version is much easier to use.

For people allergic to Nickel in the snaps on jeans and clothing--just stick one of these little band-aids directly over the rivet. They last a long time and even stay on during washing. Eventually I'll have to replace them, but they stay on a long time. Nickel-sensitive people often have trouble with pierced ears and finding jewelry that won't make their ears sore. This is the same sensitivity only from the nickel in the snaps and rivets. I buy them in quantity in case they ever stop making them--I don't want to run out.

These are teeny, tiny little band-aids, so they are a little difficult to work with, but they are great to cover a small wound when you don't want a huge band-aid to show. I used it on my shin, and it was barely noticable. Stayed on well, too.

This doesn't cut off your circulation like the regular size Band-Aid if you use it on your finger. Since they are so small, they don't wrap all the way around. Works great on minor wounds, like a paper cut for instance! :)
