Blisters can ruin a great workout. They also linger for days afterwards & are painful. Check out these products to help reduce their occurrence.
These are several products on the market. These are the ones that I use & have found to be helpful!

Band-Aid Advance Healing Blisters For Fingers & Toes
The only preventative I've used (and liked) was duct tape. Band-aids never seem to stay and I haven't used lubricants yet.
ReplyDeleteI do have to ask though, have you ever used glue?, moreso for already formed blisters. Since I read about it I haven't had a blister to try it on (but I'm debating giving myself one after my Half Iron just to test it out. haha If you have, let me know by email (becominganironman@hotmail.com)
I used my son's Scooby Doo bandaid today. Does that count? ;)
ReplyDelete@Kurt I haven't tried a glue. Usually using the above products with a moisture wicking sock does the trick. :)
ReplyDelete@Stephanie Most definitely that counts! :)
I have a terrible issue with blisters and I have for over 10 years of running! The only thing I have not tried is Duct Tape as @Kurt mentioned above. Funny he mentioned it, because I'm reading a book about a guy that runs in Africa and that is what he uses (Duct Tape). I haven't tried glue either, but would like more information about that one : ) Great post guys!
ReplyDelete@Aimeespencer Hope that you find something that will reduce the blisters. Too funny about the guy in the book! Thanks for your comment!
ReplyDeleteI have an awful blister on the arch of my foot right now. I've tried the band-aids and the blist-o-bans but it just keeps getting worse! It's now about the size of a quarter. Maybe I'll try duck tape....or just let it heal for a week but not running for a week stresses me out. Any advice anyone has would be very much appreciated!
ReplyDelete@Nina My advice is to use the above mentioned products. Hope it helps!
