I have ordered quite a few over the years, always good quality.
Good adhesive thick stretchy plasters water-resist
Delighted with these. Good selection of sizes. Sticky quality is excellent even when the plaster gets soaked. It can be happily re-applied if necessary. Fabric is thick compared to cheaper ones and it's stretchy. I can't say I recall the 'old' Elastoplast ones.
Does the job
I found them very good. Not allergenic, strong adhesive and waterproof. Great.
IS THIS WHAT THEY CALL 'ELASTOPLAST' NOWADAYS?
I bought these recently & was staggered at how inadequate & useless they are... They used to be such good quality & now are so thin and very tiny pad on that if you aren't careful the tape curls-up and goes back on itself when trying to apply a 'so-called' plaster and it takes 2 to 3 goes with different plasters to get one to land on the right spot to cover the wound.
Product has changed for the worse
Though I was buying the good old Elastoplast plasters to find that they are not the strong adhesive and thick cushioned plasters they used to be. Why did they have to change the great product that they had. The answer is to make more money on the product. Nothing like the original and I will save my money by buying supermarket own brand in future. Will not be buying these again.
Strips are too narrow to be of much use
These strips are a joke. I bought them thinking that it would be the old-style packets you used to get which had assorted plasters, something which seemed to be the case from the picture on the box, so I wasn't impressed when I opened the packet to find 40 identical plaster strips which are too narrow to cover anything other than the tiniest of cuts or scratches. I did use one to cover a very minor cut and at least the adhesive quality is very good and for that alone I gave this product a single star rating.
