These are very sticky but pull on hairs quite a bit. I had to use one on my inner thigh (I'm male) I was using some bandages 3M, NexCare, that didn't hurt at all. These were so sticky I had to shave my inner thigh to use them. I actually took off the first bandage and threw it away because it hurt too much. It was more annoying the cystic abscess it was covering. In this location, Nexcare was far better. Otherwise they are great in any other location.
