Consumer consensus: generic bandages including Equate don't adhere as well and fall off more easily, particularly when wet or on sweaty skin. Band-Aid's proprietary adhesive technology is noticeably superior for active use. Consistently appears on 'never buy generic' lists. The savings aren't worth the re-application hassle.
