Well, I used to be able to use bandages by tucking them in my panty lines. Now, after the butcher job my doctor did..😣 So! I change my drawers every time I use the bathroom! It's not like I can use tape. And I have HS inside and outside! πŸ˜– In the heat of summer, bandages just end up holding the sweat so I try to just keep bacitracin ointment on my skin to help me. It's better than Vaseline.

Hi Angela,
I use big bandages, and tape. Or the largest bandaids they make. It's hard I know! The absolute worst place to bandage.😑

I can't remember what it's called, but you can Google non adhesive, self stick bandages and it will come up. It's like what they use when you donate blood. You can get it in different sizes. I had the 4" and it really helps.

Have you tried the Hidrawear top?

I'm extremely sensitive to adhesives. Brown paper tape doesn't irritate my skin as much as others. Maybe try that?
