I use hello kitty bandaids mostly, because i find them cheerful and because other people tend to avoid them when looking in my bathroom cabinet for bandaids.

I also keep store brand cheap band aids for guests but don't particularly like them myself, and i keep flexible-fabric ones for my younger son with the new job at staples who is still learning to use a box cutter without hurting himself.

You?

The really expensive fabric ones. They don't come off and can take a beating and still keep the wound clean.

I wait for the blood to clot.
Only time I use a bandage is if it's heavier bleeding, for example, when I got bit by a german shepard, but in that case, I used a piece of tshirt and tied it around my hand. When my hand grew to the size of a softball and I couldn't bend any of my fingers and blood was still oozing out, I opted to go to the doctor and they highly recomended antibiotics and to use gauze bandage instead.

If you don't use the ones shaded for black people then you are a racist.

budget, whatever is cheapest
or just rub some dirt on it
if it is really bleeding , after the dirt, spray WD-40 on it and apply duct tape

I haven't used a regular bandaid in a few years, but when I had a torn blister half the size of my palm on my hand I used an Elastoplast bandaid and it stuck really well.

Whatever free ones I've amassed thus far. Rarely have to use them so they just kind of stockpile up

I don't use or have any. But I recently nicked the thin skin above the nail on one of my fingers, and it was bleeding, so to prevent the blood from getting onto my clothes I just wrapped some tape around it.

I don't think I've ever had an open wound get infected.
