Accoutrements Pirate Adhesive Bandages Review

OK so if y'all read my last review of the BIC Comfort 3 razor you know that 1. I'm a klutz; and 2. I practically sliced my leg off while shaving in the shower this morning.  And now you're going to find out that I'm a 5 year old stuck in the body of a 38 year old woman.

Why?

Because when I asked my husband to bring me to BandAids from the medicine box in the linen closet he brought me actual skin colored Band Aid brand.  I sent him back and asked for my Jolly Roger bandages.  Knowing that I'm a total freak and that it's better to not ask questions, he left me there bleeding in the shower, pivoted out of the bathroom and came back with the black tin of pirate bandages.

Yep, I'm a humongous kid.

I got my pack of 25 black bandages with skulls and crossbones on them at Urban Outfitters for about $5.  Each bandage is 3 x 3/4 inch just like regular Band Aid brand only they're vinyl and way cuter.  This was a deep cut but not anything requiring medical attention so that fits into the "wounds that can make a fashion statement" category and reached for the Jolly Roger bandages.

Now they look really cute but for serious wounds or cuts in weird places, you'll probably want to reach for the Band Aid brand or whichever brand makes the stretchy bandages that bend over knuckles and things like that.  But for something more superficial these are way fun.  And the tin comes with a special little plastic toy (choking hazard for small children) that helps take ones mind off of the suffering.  I got a plastic monkey wearing a red hat.  Cute, healthy, fun.

I needed two Jolly Rogers to cover my cut and they're doing a fine job although the name brand would probably do a better job of sticking to the back of my knew. 

Bottom line:  Not as effective or high quality as BandAid brand or another brand that any normal person would use.  But these bandages are pretty good for stopping the bleeding of and keeping germs out of superficial boo boos.  And they make kids or freaky adults like myself happy.
