Band Aid - Butterfly Stitches

Recently while on holiday I fell over and cut my chin open. Looking back I probably should have gone to get stitches but I figured I cold deal with it myself (not wanting to waste my holiday time). Anyway, because it was on my chin plasters were coming loose, due to facial hair but I thought that a butterfly stitch would be perfect for holding the edges together, unfortunately I spent $10 on a pack of butterfly stitches which were different to the one I am used to at home and didnt have to stickyness I expected and as with other plasters they came loose and didnt work.I also tried micropore tape with the same results. The only solution was to cut small strips of the material plaster which stuck brilliantly.I did however just to test the butterfly stitches, put on on my arm and it stuck so although they do work and probably would if i needed them again, just didnt work when i needed them to.
