Where to get compression bandages?

When I was in the army, each man had a "1st aid kit" that was a compression bandage wrapped in a plastic bag. I am putting together my 1st aid kit and I can't find these at the local wally world.

Go to the pharmacies near a hospital or a large

building housing many physicians. You will find a much wider variety of medical supplies.

Smile tampon

I live in a major city; we have ''Med Supply'' stores; anything and everything is available

long ago; we used, or had available ''tampons'' for bad gashing wounds; Military adopted them. Cheap, sanitary; with a shelf life.

But if you don't care about getting funny looks, and buy them anyways, you might want to stay away from the scented ones. It might cause a wound to become infected. lol

Hi Guys Galls.com kinda high priced good quality stuff though. Brigadequartermaster don't know never ordered from them. Galls does have an item called a bloodstopper ordered a couple seems like they'll do the job.I also carry ladies feminine products in my jumpbag (tampons,pads) works great.
