A bandage is for use in covering a tip of a digit. The bandage includes a backing material and an absorbent material. The backing material includes a coupling mechanism, and is substantially planar. The absorbent material is coupled to the backing material and includes a first portion and a second portion. The first portion includes a first end, a second end, and a body extending therebetween. The body has a width that is narrower than a width of the digit, wherein the width of the digit is measured adjacent to the tip of the digit. When the bandage is applied to the digit, the first portion is configured to extend generally axially over a portion of the digit and the second portion is configured to extend at least partially circumferentially about a portion of the digit.
