Who buys it, and why
Waterproof bandages refers to adhesive bandages and dressings designed to stay on and keep water out while showering, swimming or washing hands, made from films, hydrocolloids or sealed pads. People search them to find ones that actually stick in water, compare brands and sizes, and cover cuts, blisters or tattoos. In practice buyers are families, athletes, swimmers and people healing after minor procedures. Brands such as Band-Aid and Nexcare compete with many store brands on Amazon. It is a steady consumable category with repeat purchases, where adhesion, comfort and specialty shapes give newer products a way in.
