I have that, too. Recently had a medical issue that was essentially a month-long open wound that obviously needed to be dressed the whole time. Absolutely brutal on the skin.
Tegaderm is less bad, I learned. Significantly more expensive but absolutely worth it for that situation. Showed up to the doctor with that on and was told “absolute overkill, stop using that” and then when I showed up the next time after following their instructions and using large Band-aids they took one look at my back and said “you should switch back to Tegaderm.”
You can get rolls of the stuff that you cut to size too. Its amazing badaids suck anyway. Basically change your bandage any time you see a sink compared to go swimming in the ocean with tegaderm and still keep using the same one.

The waterproof 3M Nexcare bandages are pretty similar to Tegaderm, but for smaller cuts
