Storing bandages so they don't unroll.

[r0450111]

Anybody got any bright ideas for storing bandages so they don't unroll. I usually use the plastic storage bag they come in, but some of mine have since died! I want them to be rolled correctly so I can use them without having to re-roll! Am thinking of using a basket to chuck them into but don't want them unrolling and getting tangled.

I have a plastic storage bucket thing and just wedge them in enough so the don't unroll and are ready to use!

Put a plaiting band round them. Works for me!

Most of our post comes with large elastic bands round it, so I use those around the bandage and then keep them in a plastic tub.

I just roll mine up and chuck them in a drawer, theyve never unrolled before

As others, just tuck the corner in- no problem.

Yup, tuck the corner in!

Wow loads of ideas thanks! When some of you say tuck the corner in, do you just tuck it in the middle?

I put mine in clear plastic draw units and wedge them in. If you wanted to be very flash you could use the sock drawer dividers sold at places like IKEA or a cheaper option would be a beer crate or wine carrier

I always wrap mine up into Two's so one bandage you wrap around the other then tuck the end in.
Never had a problem and when we have a team of 6 horseball ponies all bandaged up its a lot!

I keep mine rolled up with an elastic band round them & put them in a small shoe box to keep them clean & dust free.

tuck end ni to last roll and store them in wilko plastic drawers. Tack room here is full of plastic drawers, full of bandages and a great big set of shelves stacked with matching pads.............need an extension on the tack rm really!!!xxxxxx

Roll them up the wrong way.

Those plastic sleeves that you get which go around alcohol bottles so they dont slip out of your hand, you can buy a roll of it and cut off the size you need.

Literally as you have finished rolling the top corner tuck it in at the top into the rolls.

This is what I do with mine (if I don't have the bag any more!)

Plastic milk crate attached to wall.

 

[stroppymare153]

Keep them in pairs. Wrap one up completely, leave a tail about 2ft6" long on the second one. Then wrap the tail around both rolled up bandages once or twice. When the tail is only about 4-6" long fold it up at a right angle and tuck it into the section that wrapped round both bandages.
Does that make sense?

[Jnhuk]

have tucked in corner but lately with ones not getting used much pony tail bands as less likely to fail with age than elastic bands

I find they fit perfectly in metal christmas chocolate tins (roses etc.) they are wedged in upright and it has the bonus of being mouse proof (a personal issue of mine as apparenly gamge makes perfect mouse nests!)

 

[PolarSkye]

I just store them in the plastic bag they came in . . . not sure what the issue is tbh?

Elastic bands are the best!
