Ophthalmologist here! You may alternatively try Mastisol, which we use to stick dressings down (not on the eye per se but the face or skin around it sometimes). Usually we use the single use vials but you can buy it online as a bottle also. On the plus side it also smells very nice!!
My sister-in-law nurse recommends https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tincture_of_benzoin. Athletes use it to keep tape wraps in place while playing. Looks like it’s been around for a minute or three so more modern materials may be available as well. I personally like tegaderm over top of a gauze dressing for some injuries. I keep rolls of paper towels in my shop now for short term staunching to minimize discoloration of the piece I am working on until i can get to the bandaid box. ;-).
Those waterproof band-aids you have in your picture are incredible. For a human with a normal level of adhesive skin, they stay on for the whole day through multiple hand-washes.
Funky Pumpers claims to be the UK’s #1 choice for all diabetes related accessories. They sell all sorts of patches/bandages to keep different styles of diabetes monitors on you. They have fun and crazy patterns so you can personalize it.
On a more personal level, I was saddened to learn this had nothing to do with nipples or pasties 😥
It’s designed for people with diabetes who use continuous glucose monitors, I have family members who have used similar products. They’re typically swapped out once every week or two so the adhesive needs to last longer than a typical bandage.
Anyone having trouble getting down with the funky pump might want to try povidone, iodine, or mastisol applied around but not directly on the wound. Allow it to dry and it helps any bandaid/adhesive type of wound dressing stick better. Available in one use packets or swabs as well as bottles.
Because of my wife needing emergency surgery for a periodate colon and resulting home wound and ostomy care, we've learned a lot about wound care. There's a spray version of that along with adhesive remover in both wipes and spray too that are easy to find online (3M unsurprisingly makes some) that will be a permanent part of my first aid kit. The remover spray is great on labels too.
You may have tried them already, Welly brand bandages still well for me. We have the ‘100 count pattern pack’, in patterns the kids like, and I haven’t had one fall off yet. I always have to peel them off.
I’m guessing from the manufacturer name that these might be used in the fashion industry to keep fabric in place (thinking bikini for a photo shoot), but that’s just a guess. Are they approved for use on open wounds? Are they sterile?
Working in the electrical trade a majority of my life, I found the only type of bandage that made it through the day for me was a cotton ball and duct tape.

I’ve used the Benzoin Tincture for first aid with industrial accidents with great success.

I have found that the Band-Aid (brand) Pro Heal, adhere nicely, sometimes even difficult to remove after a day. Somewhat pricier than the standard Band-Aid bandages, but worthwhile for fingers/hand areas that see lots of action. https://www.amazon.com/Band-Aid-Adhesive-Hydrocolloid-Clinically-Waterproof/dp/B0CR5F5YYY

I like the fancy shaped borders on the plaster, are they there to show you where the plaster is ? -:))
You had me at funky pumpers.
