How to Stick on a Bandaid on Your Own with Only Single Hand

Sticking an adhesive bandage is an agony in itself. However, putting it on you is a procedure unto itself. When you get a wound bad enough for a bandage, it’s almost as humiliating as running into a block up when you were trying to round a corner. One of the worse places to put an adhesive bandage is your opposite arm or hand; however, these are in most cases the places where you get the most use out of just such a bandage. That is why I will focus on bandaging yourself with only one hand. Notice that I do not use adhesive bandages, since “Band Aid” is the tag of a company not the name of a thing.

You clean the cut. You dry it off and you are way to apply the bandage so that no other dirt gets into it. Firstly, place some medicated antibiotic ointment on the bruise, this comes under the name of “Neosporin” often times, but again it is a name brand and there are a number of others out there for you to explore. Do not place this cream on the bandage. It will make the bandage slip and slide, and this will do nothing for your hurt. Place the ointment directly on the bruise, and rub it in with a clean finger or a cotton swab. Now you’re set to stick on the bandage.

Open one side of the bandage. Stick the bandage on one side of the hurt letting the other side to lie across the cut. Do not worry if the plastic and the ointment come in touch, this is fine and really isn’t that big of deal. With your finger, or else if you feel the cotton swab is more proper, smooth the band aid onto your skin. This will make sure that the band is adhered to your skin, and it’s not going to go anywhere. Rightly to make sure, lightly tug on the bandage.

Fold the bandage over the glued side, and remove the plastic off of the bandage. The bandage should not come off of your skin, and the plastic should come off with ease. Now twitch the bandage over the cut and press down on the other side. Make certain that you remove the bandage taut before you bond it. The good way to do this is to use your thumb and forefinger to twitch, and use your mid finger to smooth it down till your mid finger presses down the last of the bandage. You have in a jiffy successfully put an adhesive bandage on you with single hand. Keep it up!
