Spenco 2nd Skin Blister Pads, Medical, 5-Count

I had multiple large blisters on my hands from using a push weed whacker with no gloves for several days before getting padded gloves. My hands hurt, burned, and skin was pulling because of how bad the torn blisters were. One foot had a very large deep torn blister too.These were a lifesaver! They healed all my blisters and padded them until they did too. They soothed the pain and burning went away. I could sleep. My foot blister took longer to heal as it was deep and large. Yes I tore the skin over and over for days. There was work to be done. The fields were growing and our ride on mower died.At first these didn't stay on long but enough to help and reapply another. My foot took a lot of abuse so the blister pad would slip/move causing more problems until I covered it with Nexcare water proof bandages and around the blister bandage. Yes, seems like a lot to do but the blister bandage really does help heal and soothe blisters and where mine were no bandage would have easily stayed in place anyway so adding extra around it was worth it. I now actually put one on that foot in the same place in advance just in case to protect the area so I don't get a blister. May be pricey but worth it to me. Do not want to relive the pain ever again.

A must for marathon runners. I would tape up the bandage if you plan on running far with it, as the adhesion is just ok. But it healed my giant blister in a few days enough to be able to keep training (it was too painful to even walk on initially).

Work amazingly well on my frequently horrific silver dollar sized blisters. They stay in place, but, wonderfully, the gel does not stick and ruin the granulation tissue itself.In the back country, or on endurance events, these are game changers.Only down side is the amazing price: impressively expensive. Also, anyone with technical wound care knowledge will aggree: don't leave the same one on for 5 days even though the instructions say you can.

I use these in Disney. They work if I get some sort of abrasion from walking. But even better if you place them where you know you'll run into trouble ahead of time. Last trip they reduced the abrasions significantly but they also acted as a pain blocker while I was continuing on with my fun.

This is ideal for scrapes than have pulled off the top layer of skin or scabs you are trying to heal. The difference isn't rocket science, it's that the adhesive is only on the outer 1/4" or so of the large bandage, but it sticks great, even in the shower, so when you pull it off it doesn't pull on the wound at all. It's also very flexible so contours to the body very well. I am using it on my foot near a toe and I can easily place part of the bandage on the toe itself without the wrinkling you get with band-aids when you move the toe around.

I bought these to protect some blisters on my heels. I had previously used the Band-Aid brand bandages of the same size and shape. Band-Aid Brand Adhesive Bandages, Advanced Healing Blister Cushions, Multi-Day Protection, 6-Count Box I bought the Spenco brand because they cost less and I've been happy with Spenco products in the past.After three uses, I'm going back to the Band-Aid brand. The Spenco Blister Pads just don't stay stuck. The adhesive isn't as agressive and the plastic backing isn't as compliant as on the Band-Aid brand product. This inability to stretch to conform leaves it wrinkled along the edges if you apply it to a surface that is curved in more than one dimension. In other words, it could be applied without wrinkling to a cylinder shape like your forearm, but not on a ellipsoid shape like your heel. I've replaced the Spenco bandage on my left heel three times while the Band-Aid bandage on my right heel is still in place. Just to make sure this is a fair review, the last time I replaced the Spenco bandage I cleaned the application area with 91% isopropyl alcohol. It still stayed stuck for only one 6 mile hike.It looks like you get what you pay for.

You’re 100% better off just using a band aid instead. These did not stay on my skin for more than 10 min both times I tried to use them. I had 3 left in the box and just threw them away because they don’t stick and they don’t do anything. Such a waste of money. Just buy bandaids.

I can't say enough about how wonderful these work! I never expected it but hoped. Very pleased with these. I got blisters when I would x-country ski and within an hour I had to quit, every time. Moleskin didn't work, double socks didn't work, duct tape didn't work. The blisters came. But I could put the blister pads on over my blisters and ski the next day! (PS: Now I use 2nd Skin Adhesive Knit to prevent the blisters!)
