March 1, 2015

Top of the finger injuries are the worst. They're generally small cuts, but so annoying because you constantly hit them while doing everyday tasks. Here's how you can put a bandage on that doesn't fall off or move around.

Get yourself a medium to large standard shaped bandage.

Place the pad on the cut with the sticky end toward your nail and cross the two strips over one another to opposite sides.
