3M™ Tattoo Waterproof Bandages Turn Into Monsters

London, Ontario…This October watch for something scary to happen to your favorite 3M Tattoo Waterproof Bandages, they're going to turn into monsters!

Monsters Inc., Disney's latest production, is a comedy set in the realm of things that go bump in the night, where chaos breaks loose after a hapless monster accidentally lets a human child into the secret world. While the film premieres on November 2nd, Monsters, Inc. Tattoo Waterproof Bandages premiere in stores this October.

Tattoo bandages are the first bandages to combine superior, waterproof wound protection with popular designs that children want to wear. Monsters, Inc. Tattoo Waterproof bandages feature different designs with Boo, Skully and Mike from the movie (see attached photograph). Just like regular Tattoo bandages they are made of an ultra-thin, breathable material that conforms to bending and flexing and, once in place, the transparent bandage looks just like a real tattoo!

As a parent it is important to make sure your child's cuts and scrapes are protected with a bandage. Wounds take longer to heal when they are left uncovered due to scab formation and an increased chance of infection. But there is no reason why this process cannot be made fun for kids, who always feel better about their injury after a bandage has been applied. So how do you keep them enthused? Give them the latest trend. With all the hype surrounding this new Disney movie kids will want to wear Monsters Inc. Tattoo Waterproof Bandages even when they're not injured.

And think Halloween, not only will these scary bandages make a great addition to any costume, they are also a safe and healthy alternative to giving trick-or-treaters candy. Imagine all the fun they'll have comparing their new tattoos!

Monsters Inc. Tattoo™ Waterproof Bandages won't be in stores for long. Arriving just in time for Halloween and the movie premiere, these bandages and other promotional items are sure to be a must have for kids - catch them while they're still available!
