"Band Aid" brand cloth knuckle bandages. They stay on all day and even
through a shower.

I have oily skin and sweaty feet, and also baby feet and youthfull
looks :) I also work with my hands with heavy equipment at work, and
building my own house. I've also been a First Aid attendant at work
for 20+ years. Try and find the Forcefield brand, I got mine from the
latest outfit that supplies my employer after being blown away by
these bandaids, well the adhesive actually, it's not thick like the
Elastoplast, stands up much better, and compared to other crap
bandages, not even close, the other crap we sometimes get at work
would last on my ankle for minutes, not even worth the bother. My
first Forcefield lasted there for the days, too long for sure :) HAD
to have a box for home.
