Unless we've got something new here, the American version of this is called Aquacel AG. It's not as good, but it is what we have here. You can get it on Amazon, but the brand name is grossly expensive. There's a few generic ones available, but they are not as good. And! My apologies to Baz! I'm an idiot and just realized what this bandage is comparable to in the US! ๐Ÿ™„

I'm extremely fair skinned and it takes very little to cause me a problem with my skin. Tags in my clothes can actually cause me to scab. ๐Ÿ™„ Hollister and Aerie have decent sweat pants that are a little baggy and they are soft. Adidas, Nike..they don't work for me. Under Armour shorts that have the built in undies work, but I cut out the underwear. The elastic in them is too much. It's all trial and error. I try to shop at TJ Maxx and Marshall's so I'm not spending more money than I have to. ๐Ÿ˜’ I've found that just trying to buy clothes when you have HS in your groin is so expensive! ๐Ÿ˜•
