Any NHS nurses around? Can I pick your brains......

re the very boring subject of bandages!!
I suffered chemical burns to my feet 2 weeks ago. Been seeing practice nurse who's been dressing it but have now been discharged to dress it myself while it fully heals. Skin has regenerated but advised to keep a light bandage on it. Ive bought a couple of bandage types off Amazon which haven't been as good as the type the nurse used. They keep slipping off when I walk despite using lots of tape. I keep limping to not put pressure on it to not dislodge it and I now have a sore leg! The type the nurse used was soft, stretchy and quite a loose knit look, but not gauze. Can you recommend a good brand that the NHS uses. Thanks

Crepe bandage?

Kband is good for a foot as not too wide. Klite is a wider one better for arms/legs IME
