I cannot find anywhere someone that sells packs of the small platers size 4 x 2 which are idea for small cuts, especially on fingers, toes or on your hand You can buy packs of plasters that have a variety of sizes, but none with just the small ones. The round corn plasters do not suit. Can someone point me in the right direction as to who might sell these small plasters, either fibre of waterproof.

A good point, a pack of the very small would be very useful. We not seen on sale anywhere

Have a look on eBay?

The boxes on ebay do tend to have the multi-size ones.

If this is the same thing they do sell on ebay £2 a plaster strip roll which you scissor to size.

There are plenty of "one size" boxes on there.
I've just bought some. A bigger size though.

Yep, you can get just about anything on Ebay, and high streets wonder why they are going down the toilet. Maybe if they actually sold stuff people wanted to buy it would help, rather than charity shops, bookies, pound shops, nail bars, coffee shops and the like.

Why can't you be like everybody else? Simply buying a pack of "all sizes" when you just want one small one .... then not having them handy next time, so buying another pack ... and another pack ... until, 20 years on, you've got a collection of "mostly dried out" packs of old plasters "just in case" you need them

I buy this type of product, and cut it to size. I find it sticks far better than most plasters which is my main reason for buying it!

Can't see why the larger ones cant be scissored down to size.

Mainly because there is the sticky bit and then the non-sticky bit that you put on the wound.
The non-sticky bit of the large plasters is still quite big so you are limited how small you can cut it.
