I have found that most of the novelty Band Aid products are significantly worse quality than the standard beige/clear type. Most of them (these Hello Kitty ones included) tend to be less sticky, and don't stay on for very long. If your kid's just *Have to have* novelty band aids, these are fine, but if not, I'd stick to the basic.

Licensed Brand anything are more expensive. I must admit, these make for better cuts and injuries, it actually brightens my face when I see it. Bandaids are usually boring and flesh colored, but these with HELLO KITTY (one of my favorite childhood characters) on a bandaid makes me feel childlike and innocent again. So what if I am adult and would rather put on a Hello Kitty bandaid than a regular bandaid, it makes me feel better. They are pricey and I do not like to pay too much for bandaids, because they are BANDAIDS. You cannot keep them, since they are only a temporary use. Sometimes I actually do not want to use them because I know they will loved but get thrown away when it is not needed anymore. I think I would rather not use them and keep them just to have them but that would be a waste for them not to ever get used or loved. Use these bandaids, they need love too. They are too cute, I cannot resist looking at my bandaid when I have an injury, I've got a Hello Kitty bandaid.

I bought the Hello Kitty Band-Aids for my two year old daughter who is completely obsessed with Hello Kitty. My son has character Band-Aids, so it was nice to find something she liked as well. She will usually not allow us to put a bandage on her scrapes and cuts, but she loves these so much she'll wear them. They are Band-Aid brand bandages and live up to the Band-Aid reputation. They stay on well and are pretty flexible - I've put them over knuckles with no problems. They're a little more expensive than plain Band-Aids, but anything with characters on it is going to cost more than the plain version. The only thing I don't like about these and the only reason I'm not giving it five stars, is that even though they come in two sizes, they are pretty small. I'd like to see a few larger-sized bandages included in the box. For most of the little scrapes and cuts I've been using them for they've been okay, but there have been a coupe times a bigger bandage would have been nice.

The Hello Kitty Band-Aid bandages are my little girl's favorite bandages. Even before we allowed her to watch hello kitty, she chose these bandages to keep on hand at home. Each box contains different patterns with Hello Kitty and her friends on them. They are very girly and cute bandages. They work just as well as the plain, beige, regular old band-aid bandages. My only gripe is that they do not extend the line to other sizes and styles of Band-Aid products, because these bandages are just the regular size ones. It would be nice to have the larger sizes and the cloth bandages with Hello Kitty on them as well. Also, pink first aid tape to coordinate with the Hello Kitty bandages would be nice so she could be totally pinked when she gets a booboo.

I am currently wearing one for a paper cut on my finger. I find them to be durable,cute, and even fashionable! I have two young daughters at home who are big Hello Kitty fans so these band aids are a hit at our household. Not to mention that they love anything pink! I do wish that they would come in bigger sizes. The package I bought had two sizes. They are small for adults. When they are on sale, we stock up on them, although price is reasonable in general. For the most part, the band aid comes off easy, although the adhesive is very sticky. When I remove the band aid off my daughters, they usually don't complain about it hurting and it does not leave much of a residue. I am an elementary teacher by day so I like to keep these in my desk drawer for my female students.

As with many things from Band Aid, this is one product that as long as you or the person wearing the bandage doesn't mind being covered in Pink and Hello Kitty, you can NOT go wrong. You can not say that about all the bandages out there with popular cartoon figures on them. I have a tendency to be accident prone, so I am always buying bandages. I got tired of ugly "flesh colored" bandages that don't match me, so I decided if they are going to stand out, then they should at least be cute and show my girly side, not to mention, my love of pink, being cutesy, and Hello Kitty. So, I bought Band Aid Children's Adhesive Bandages, Hello Kitty, 20 Each one day when I was feeling silly and wearing lots of pink. This version of band aids might be a little more expensive than the undecorated bandages, but there are different sized bandages in this box, they look really cute, and they actually stay on. They keep my wounds covered, even through at least a few handwashings and I wash my hands intensely and a lot, so that is saying something. Now when I have a cut on my hands, someone doesn't ask so much what I did as comment about how cute my band aids are. It also comes in handy to focus a little one's attention on something other than the hurting of a small boo boo.

I am an absolute Hello Kitty fanatic! Any time I see anything with that adorable kitty on it, I am tempted to buy it. And not that I have a little toddler girl, I have a great excuse to indulge my Hello Kitty mania. One of the things I bought for her were Hello Kitty Band-Aids. These things are so darling! They are all pink, with various designs, all featuring Hello Kitty's face. They are a great idea for helping to distract and take the sting out of a little girl's minor boo-boos. I like that they are Band-Aid brand; I have used and trusted their products for years. I've said a lot of very positive things about Hello Kitty Band-Aids, but they also have a couple of major drawbacks that really bother me. First of all, I think they are really expensive. A measly little box of 20 costs as much as a much larger box of plain bandages. That's hard to justify for a family on a budget. Also, the bandage sizes are not that great. The box says "assorted sizes," but my box contains only two sizes, both of which are quite small. That's not much of an assortment. The smaller of the two sizes is tiny! I guess that's good for little girl fingers, but it would be really nice if the box contained at least one larger size for slightly larger owies. There's nothing in here that would work for, for example, a scraped knee. Overall, Hello Kitty Band-Aids are cute and a fun splurge, but won't take care of all of your bandage needs.

We have gone through several boxes of these bandaids. My daughter loves Hello Kitty and it's always a nice distraction when she has a cut to ask if she wants a hello kitty bandaid. She gets so excited to pull one out of the box and see which one she got.  There are several different pictures. Some are Hello Kitty alone and some are group shots of her and her friends. The adhesive on these bandages doesn't seem to be quite as strong as regular bandaids -- which I like because there are no tears when it's time to take them off. They usually fall right off when she is taking a bath. The bandaids are smaller than normal which makes them perfect for little hands and feet. If they are on her fingers she can still bend them unlike regular adult sized bandages. They probably wont cover a big scrape on a knee or elbow however.  The only problem we run into is once we have them in the house my daughter starts looking for nonexistent cuts so she can use one.  They are more of an accessory to her than a bandage.

These Hello Kitty Band-Aids are just as cute as they are functional! These are band-aids that people of all ages can enjoy, but they are targeted towards smaller kids. They can sometimes be a bit more expensive than other bandages, probably because of the characters, but they are definitely worth it. They are small, cute, pink, and they are in two different sizes with many different designs (the small size bandages are all the same design, though). These band-aids have very good adhesive, but not as good as some others. They stick very well and can be worn for a long time, but when they get wet the first time they can fall off easily, especially on places like hands and fingers where they are not as adhesive to the skin. In other places (legs, arms, etc) they can stick for awhile even when you get them wet, it just depends on where they are on the body. Either way, these adorable Hello Kitty band-aids are very cute and useful.

These band-aids are fabulous. The cute Hello Kitty designs make you feel 100% better and super cool. Meanwhile, the actual band-aid helps you heal. There are a variety of designs, each cuter than the next.My favorite design is the one where it has all of Hello Kitty's friends in it.  The band-aids stay on pretty well, so you do not have to worry about having band-aids floating around in the pool. However, if left on too long they leave a weird residue. The band-aids are the usually quality expected of the Band-Aid brand, so they are very good.   Any little girl would love to wear them and any one older would love to as well just to bring back fun childhood memories.  As shown in the tags above, I am a fun-loving person, and these band-aids definitely qualify as fun.  Remember not to leave band-aids on cuts overnight, because it helps to let them air out. Have fun with your Hello Kitty Band-Aids!
