Equate Antibacterial Gauze Pads, 2 in x 2 in, 24 Count

I have used these for years, and I love them, they are great. Great size, and where they are antibacterial they are great for healing, and you can put them in any place on your body , I love my whole family has used them. I have used them for about 10 years and will continue to use them.

This is gross but I tried to keep this as un-gross as possible :) I had an ingrown hair down there become quite infected after squeezing my chubby self into shapewear for an event. Apparently ingrown hairs don't like being squeezed by shapewear, and apparently they get much worse with sweating for hours while in the tight shapewear. When I was removing said shapewear, the then massive, infected ingrown hair burst open, leaking tons of REALLY nasty stuff like I had never seen before and it seemed to never end. It was going to be an embarrassing doctor appointment that I absolutely wanted to avoid at all costs, so I researched what my options were and tried these. Within a couple hours of using them, both wearing as a bandage with medical tape and using to gently clean the wound every few hours, the infection greatly lessened. After a day of usage, the infection entirely cleared up. I slapped a hydrocolloid bandage on the wound after the infection entirely cleared up, and then after 2 days, the wound entirely healed. The antibacterial gauze pads, medical tape, and hydrocolloid bandages (which I already had at home) were far cheaper than a copay and whatever the doctor would've prescribed. Also saved me the embarrassment of trying to show that to a doctor. Plus I didn't even use the entire box during the course of a day while the infection cleared. As I am not a doctor, I don't recommend doing this, but… it worked!
