Surely the major requirement of a plaster is that it sticks to the skin. So why do the modern ones fail this basic test.

They can be transparent,  waterproof, cushioned blah , blah , blah but it seems they just simply cannot stick. Especially when you have a cut or blister on your feet !

The only ones that are any good are the thick, orangey ones that leave a border of glue on your skin as you rip them off and scream in pain.

And when did they become so expensive ??? noooo:

I don't really have any trouble with them and have used a mix of cheap Tesco ones through to the expensive branded ones. 

The spray on ones are also good (but sting a bit).  At a pinch sellotape does the job too.

The problem is you wimmin insist on messing about with your skin to make it smooth and shiny not to mention hairless.
Plaster glue will just not stick to soft, scented, oiled skin. noooo:
