I'm based in the UK. I do not like cutting up bandages, so I used round hydrocolloid stickers in the main unless i have a large area of wounds to cover.

My favourite brand so far are Smileplus but my source sold out (£1 per box of 36), and the only supliers I find now are way too pricey (£6.50 per box of 36) - unsustainable when I used to go through a whole box a day easily!

I have moved onto dotz - they're a pretty good second - very slightly less tacky and with a slightly more noticable surface finish. I'm getting them from a pound store for £1 per box of 24 - though you can get them for less than £2 a box on Amazon/eBay.

The Nexcare ones I bought were ok, more pricey, yet seemed to saturate easily and were rather yellow for my skintone - I had them imported, not sure if they're normally like that. I went for the orange and purple boxed ones as they were thicker, and thicker is better to mop up the type of wounds I used to create. They do do thinner/more discreet ones too. However, I did also get some pretty hearts and star shaped ones for special occasions! (this page describes the differences between the different box colours)

I've tried some unbranded ones that were too thin, they had insufficient hydrocolloid to be effective.
