Water absorbes in the cushion thus creating the sticky part contaminated.

Water absorbs into the cushion area and that breaks down the particles within the semi-viscous glue used to make the bandage stick to you.

Bandages stick to the skin because of the adhesive material on one side of the bandage. This adhesive is specially designed to create a bond with the skin's surface, providing a secure hold. The adhesive is non-toxic and hypoallergenic to prevent any irritations.

There is a special type of adhesive used on the backs of bandages to make them sticky. The ingredients contain natural rubbers and latex, and synthetic elastometric modifying agents.
