Nexcare Bandages are going Diamond — And you could win a year’s supply!
You gotta love 3M — those folks are just brilliant! I mean — can you image a world without Scotch Tape or Duct Tape?!?
Those clever designers are always hard at work and now they have come up with some wonderful new bandages featuring a unique diamond shape and a 360-degree adhesive seal around the pad that keeps out dirt and germs.
They come in various styles like the Heavy Duty - Clear and Tough, (my electrician husband who always has a ton of cuts on his hands will love those,) and the fabulously fun, Tattoo Waterproof for kids featuring characters like Winnie The Pooh to help turn tears into smiles.
(I also love the reusable plastic containers the 30 packs come in. They are perfect for holding crayons, hair elastics, trading cards, etc.)
With spring here and summer around the corner, our kids will be outside scrapping knees and running to mom to make it all better. So I am going to be prepared with Nexcare Waterproof diamond shape bandages, to keep the dirt and germs out and the bandage in place.
And you can too…
While I have a a few boxes to keep us going, one of you is going to win a year’s supply (45 BOXES!!!) of Nexcare Bandages for your family. That sounds more like a lifetime supply to me!!! 45 boxes will cover a lot of cuts, burns and scrapes - you will be able to cross bandages off the shopping list for at least the next three years!
So time to link up and win moms!
If you want the chance to have enough bandages to last you through this decade, just leave a comment and let your readers know about this contest on your blog. You can give a little link love to 3M too if you want. No worries — non-bloggers are always free to play as well.
Unfortunately, we have to limit this contest to US shipping addresses. But if you have a friend or family member in the states and you want the company to ship to them, that is totally ok.
Good luck!

You ladies are too too sweet and I would love a life time supply of bandaids, especially since it seems my kids are just getting to the age of hurting themselves more often.
#43 - Katrine @ 3:39 pm
Mother of four begging for bandaids. I linked up!
#44 - Gem @ 3:39 pm
With three kids and a fourth on the way, bandages are at a premium around here. One of my daughters is allergic to the adhesive — she gets an itchy bumpy outline of the bandage just where the adhesive that sometimes ends up looking worse than the original owie! But the other two can use them just fine!
#45 - Elizabeth Christie @ 3:42 pm
Ooo- please count me in the drawing! Thank you!

Oh yeah! I’m in and my post is up on my blog!

#70 - Brooke @ 8:05 pm
I want this, but if I win, I’ll have to be careful that my 5 year old doesn’t use them all up in one day turning her baby sister into a mummy.
#71 - Laura @ 8:30 pm
Hmmm, where did my comment go?
Count me in, please!!! I have a daughter in middle school who just started shaving, a set of twins in preschool and another set of twins in diapers, and they are ALWAYS covered in Bandaids!!

#73 - jean @ 9:32 pm
45 boxes?! Wow, my son will love this.
#74 - leah belle @ 9:52 pm
I could sure use these. My kids think bandages are the cure - all for every kind of bumb, bite, bruise, etc.
#75 - Ginny @ 10:13 pm
The way my 4 year old goes through band-aids, 45 boxes would last us, oh, about a month

#110 - Terri @ 1:19 pm
This is the cutest contest I think I’ve read about in awhile!! As a mom I think there is NO such thing as a life supply of band-aids.. HA HA HA HA
#111 - Marilyn McFadden @ 1:45 pm

Believe me, those Nexcare bandages will be put to good use here! Between my family, my kids’ friends…we will be using them up post-haste!
Thanks a lot for this opportunity! I hope to be a regular visitor to your blog, now!
#115 - My Quotidian Mysteries @ 3:25 pm

#117 - Janne @ 3:53 pm
Sounds cool. Count me in.
#118 - Jessica @ 4:29 pm
Sounds great! Count me in! Bandaids are my defense against my son’s thumbsucking! It is the only thing that reminds him not to put it in his mouth!
#119 - Naomi @ 4:42 pm
My husband could certainly use some of those and I am sure my daughter would love to match…
#120 - Adrienne @ 5:15 pm
With a new walker around my house I know I will need more bandaids and these are great. Please count me in!
#121 - Krissy @ 6:18 pm
I go through several bandaids a week with my klutzy little munchkins. I would absolutely love to have a year’s supply!!
#122 - Zukppr @ 6:21 pm
You’d think that by 10 my wonderful dd would have outgrown the need for multiple bandages on a daily basis. But no, not my dd… We’d love some to get us through bleeding toes from swim team; skinned knees from softball; bloody abrasions from scooters, skates, heelys, and tree climbing; and other assorted major catastrophes
#123 - Rendy @ 6:53 pm
Having 3 little boys - this would be a GREAT treat for us all!
#124 - Angel Mama @ 7:49 pm
Oh perfect for soothing hearts and boo boos….
Thanks for the lovely contest.

Angel Mama ( Professional “soother of hearts and boo boos”)…LOL
#125 - Cynthia Milligan @ 9:04 pm
I have 6 children and this would be fabulous. I’m so glad I found your site and look forward to more posts! I’ll gladly put you on my site. Thank you for the oppoutunity to win these!
#126 - Lacey @ 9:08 pm
With little ones in the house, I sure could use some bandages. Although the last time there was an injury it occured on lips of the 2 year old. Too bad they didn’t make lip bandages.
#127 - Carol @ 9:10 pm
I need some 3m bandages.
#128 - Kristi @ 10:43 pm
Boy, could we use the bandages! My Walmart bill will thank you!
#129 - Chris @ 11:05 pm
We burn through the bandaids like they’re candy. (Yes, I eat A LOT of candy.)
#130 - michelle b @ 11:29 pm
I have 5 very active boys! I would love to win this. We got thru so many bandaid in this house.
#131 - Traci @ 11:55 pm

#132 - Ann @ 11:56 pm
My daughter would LOVE this–she lobbies for a bandaid for every perceived boo boo!
#133 - Jenn @ 2:13 am
We could use these in my house. Especially with summer (AKA boo boo time) coming.
#134 - Julie @ 8:49 am
Love Nexcare bandages! They don’t come off until you want them to and they don’t hurt when you do!! My kids love the characters and we have had to instill a rule that you don’t get one unless there is blood.
#135 - Whitney @ 9:17 am
we’re ALWAYS out of bandaids! I could use a years supply!
#136 - Lilo's Mom @ 1:28 pm
I love Nexcare! My favorites are the ones that look like duct tape…all the guys in my family are willing to cover up a boo boo with those (they are more manly that the other styles). Wow…what a great contest! Thanks.
#137 - gina rolsma @ 1:29 pm
Finally evolution in the way we treat boo boos! I am so excited for this contest! Nexcare Rocks!
#138 - Jen @ 2:02 pm
We could use some band-aids! Plus we could donate some to our missionary families and our local Christian school!

#145 - Nancy-The Unlikely Homesteader @ 9:01 pm
Great contest! We would love a big ol’ supply of Nexcare bandages. They really do stay on well and handle all of the tough stuff my boys dish out!
#146 - Firefly @ 9:42 pm
Nexcare bandages are great! We have one child who is sensitive to latex and they have a number of latex-free products. The ones that aren’t latex-free find themselves attached to others in our home. :p
#147 - Bad Sheep @ 9:42 pm
Love the tattoo ones!
#148 - Amy @ 10:28 pm
Wow! Raising three (very active) sons on a farm, I could sure use these. Because of their antics (fishing hook in the hand, stitches, football injuries, etc.,) we helped fund the renovations at our Children’s Hospital. They really should have named it for us out of courtesy, lol.
What a great contest!
#149 - tanyetta @ 12:36 am
cool!
#150 - Debi @ 7:46 am

Thanks!
#158 - Deanna @ 2:37 pm
What a great give-away! We have 9 children living out here on our rural mountain, so you can only imagine the countless bandaids we go through! One can never have enough bandaids, that’s for sure!
Deanna
#159 - pisecomom @ 3:21 pm
My son has gone from hating the thought of bandaids to going through nearly a box a week… so 45 boxes would come in handy here!

#168 - LadyBug Crossing @ 7:28 am
I could definitely use those!!
#169 - Kimberlee @ 7:39 am
I’m in too! Sometimes bandaids cure more than simple boo boos around here! Somehow, my little girl thinks they make a bad day much better! If that is all she needs…I can’t complain!
#170 - deborah @ 7:39 am
Boo-boo season has already made it’s mark here! Count me in!
#171 - caron @ 7:48 am
