What does your first aid kit contain?

I've got bloody loads of plasters but not much else. What should I put in there that will prove useful? Bearing in mind I have children aged between 2 and 9. Also I'm accident prone AF.

Antiseptic wipes, hand wipes, savlon, anthisan.

I also have burn gel, paracetamol, Ibruprofen and buscopan.

At home, just plasters and germolene in the kitchen cupboard. When we go away, plasters, antihistamines, pain relief, imodium and rehydration sachets. I've had a proper first aid kit in the past but could never see the point in most of the contents, even as a pharmacist!

Plasters, bandages (both ones with a dressing attached and without), micropore tape, a couple of safety pins, burn gel, tough cut scissors, a piece of clingfilm (to go over a burn for example), a small pot of sudocrem, antihistamine cream.

I have the same as pp plus burn gel, instant ice packs, gloves, bandages & tape, tweezers, scissors, gloves, saline, eye stuff and I think there is a shock blanket and face guard in there? I just bought a replenish kit and popped it all in and it has come in really handy as I am also clumsy AF as is DS. The ice packs and plasters are the only things I've really used although had to use the eye bath once before too.

Oh sorry, it’s ‘tuff’ cut scissors. I also forgot we’ve got some disposable gloves in there too.

As above plus some other stuff including both blister and burn plasters
