An expert at everyday hacks has revealed that you have been putting Band-Aids on wrong as he showed the correct way to cover your wounds.
Jordan Stallion is a US-based content creator who frequently shares tips and tricks on his TikTok account, where he boasts over 10.7 million followers.
Most recently, Jordan shocked viewers by sharing that they had been using Band-Aids ‘incorrectly this entire time.’
He revealed that you should cutting the bandages in half before overlapping the halves together.
He first duetted Julien Blanc’s video asking others on the video-sharing platform to reveal the things that blew their minds when they learned it.
In the viral clip, which has so far amassed over 2.1 million views, he said: ‘We’ve been putting Band-Aids on incorrectly this entire time.’
He explained that if you have a cut on your finger, the Band-Aid is meant to be put on a certain way.
He said you should leave the paper on the medical strip and then grab a pair of scissors.
‘You’re going to cut a line right down the middle from the top and bottom parts,’ he explained.
After you create the cuts, put the white part on your injury and then take the top tab and fold it down to form a V-shape and then do the same with the bottom.
Jordan revealed that this is much more effective because the normal way of putting it on only works until ‘the sweat starts affecting the adhesive, and then eventually, it’ll fall right off your finger.’
‘This also works with toes cuts as well, have fun,’ Jordan said at the end of the clip.
People on the video-sharing platform were shocked and flooded the comments section.
One person wrote: ‘Bro, why wouldn’t they come pre-cut then?’
‘So you’re just going to tell me this [now] and I have been working in nursing for 30 years?’ someone else added.
Another person commented: ‘I do this every time, it’s my favorite hack.’
‘Wound care nurse here, and I approve this message,’ someone else wrote.
