especially when you're standing there dripping blood out of a cut!
couldn't they design a better way to open these $%$^#^ things?

I know, I agree. We just need longer tabs!

Those band-aids with the red string that slit open the edge of the wrapper were a heck of a lot easier to use than the ones nowadays where you have to peel apart the two tabs that have only about 1/16" exposed. Occasionally the string broke but at least the wrapper was partially open.

Ohhh and don't let it be your finger that needs the band aid and you have no one to help you.
Then you try to use the uninjured hand and your teeth, that does not work!
The should perforate the edges.
I thought I was just me!
And whats up with encasing things in that plastic then sealing the edges.
That's how a sliced my finger and realized that the dang band aid took an engineer degree to open with.

Yes, I find that very annoying. I have torn through many band-aids before being able to get one on my wound; and, yes, I have lost a lot of blood in the process.

I totally agree..If you are alone when you need to use one of the damned thing it gets covered in blood before its even in place..
But it isn't just band-aids...Mars Bars.Crisps etc..so many of these things I now have to use scissors to open...child proof containers too...bleach bottles I feel are rather dangerous I have to battle so long to open them I get afraid I may spill some..

Yes, and there's always a fair amount of cursing to compliment the struggle to open the darn thing.

Yeah, you'll bleed to death trying to open the band-aid package. That's the reason I use duct tape. Duct tape stays on too!

As far as I am concerned, everything is harder to open. You need scissors, a hack saw, dynamite, and maybe a jack hammer to get chit out of packaging.

That is your million dollar idea, my friend. Invent a new way to package bandages!

yes they are.. but in my opinion.. the least expensive brands are even harder to open.. when i was in school.. it was hard opening them.. when u are not supposed to touch the actual pad part to cover an injection area..
