Tampons were invented for nosebleeds -the menstrual use was an afterthought. These days they go for inflatable tampons for nosebleeds in the ER. One size fits all. it's meant to apply pressure directly to the spot rather than soak it up. i have too much recent experience in this field and all i can say is next time I'll choose bleeding to death.
nappies/Diapers also work for big bleeders, plus they are shaped and taped in a way that makes them easy to apply and get to stay in place no matter where the wound is. A must in any emergenct first aid kit -newborn size is perfect.
tail posting is joining in a topic at the end without (properly) reading what went on before... not really the case here
Bandaids require blood in our household
I'm allergic to latex and the adhesive, cloud. I find the cheap "water resistant' "breathable" ones have an adhesive I can tolerate for a few hours. they don't stick much longer than that... Often with allergies, I find the allergen is one of the products they leave out in cheaper versions (contrary to what they'd like you to believe)
