You try to open the stringless ones, and half the time you end up ripping the pull-away tabs on the Band-Aid itself, then you can't get
that part off and you have to throw it away and start over.
I think it's a marketing ploy: "We don't care how much you use. We only care how much you buy."
I've been seeing more and more products based on that philosophy.
