Spenco 2nd Skin Adhesive Knit Blister Protection, Sports, 6 Count,Packaging may vary

I've been using this brand for maybe 4+ years already. During Covid I started walking a lot more to get groceries to get out of my place and walked in some very comfy sandals. But I developed a very bad blister on one spot. I saw a podiatrist and found out that due to my right hip I didn't walk with my right foot planting exactly straight and this slight off angle created friction with one of the sandal straps. So I found this product on Amazon.com and have used it ever since. I cut enough strips to pile them up in layers so that the valley in my big toe on my right foot is filled and the strap no longer rubs into the extended area of my big toe. Very easy to cut and place and it can stay on despite showers, etc for a week before I need to redo it. And comes off if you want to remove it. Now at most I get a little bit of a callous which is easily taken care of in the shower using a dried skin removal device and then applying some moisturizer. So definitely recommend highly!

I needed bandages to protect my skin from getting blisters on my feet, and these bandages did just the trick!!! I purchased to wear while walking around Disney World. I am amazed at how long these lasted!! I walked more than 20,000 steps, swam in the pool and the bandage was holding on tight. The fabric did start to show signs of wear mid-day but I didn’t care, it prevented my skin from getting irritated from all the walking… now removing the bandage was not pleasant, after wearing from sun up to sun down it was still a struggle to remove.

Thinner than moleskin, good adhesive that will peel off without taking a strip, customizable sizes= no waste. I have used this stuff for probably 30 years. In the past you could only buy this with the spenco second skin gel. The gel is excellent, but often not necessary. Wear this to break in new boots and shoes and save yourself the blisters.

I hike quite a bit. Every once in a while my heel becomes quite agitated & twice blistered during long hikes. No real rhyme or reason to it but definitely a problem I would like to avoid. I tried these 2nd skins based on prior reviews & I was skeptical when they arrived based on how thin they felt. However, after using them myself twice & giving it to friends during hikes I've got to say these are really impressive.I applied them before several difficult, wet, rough, & dirty hikes & these have performed without issue. Halfway through a hike a friend developed a bad blister & she applied this to her ankle. It worked well even though it was applied to less than clean skin. It prevented the blister from getting worse & gave her more than enough comfort to finish our hike.I'm keeping these permanently in my hiking edc & my emergency kits. Well worth every penny. Easy to remove too with little to no residue from the adhesive. What did remain was easy to remove.

This is a really good product .Definitely a blister saver or if you have one it’s like it was not thereGreat product

I’m usually note prone to blisters but had a few thru hiking this summer plus many hot spots that wanted to blister. I used this to cover those hot spots.This stuff works great. Better than regular/thicker moleskin. If this wrinkles slightly, it’s no problem. Do that with regular moleskin and it can be super uncomfortable.It also stays in place. I ran out of this and had to use regular moleskin on the ball of my foot for a few days and it migrated, eventually wrinkling up and having to be removed. This stuff doesn’t migrate. It will also stay on for days as long as your feet stay reasonably dry.It doesn’t work well in wet conditions. If you are doing river crossings or showering, I wouldn’t count on it lasting. (Occasionally it will, but it’s not reliable that way.) Does fine with an ordinary amount of sweat and clamyness that comes with hiking.I generally could put some of this on at the beginning of a segment and it would last 3-6 days until my next town stop/shower.

My husband had a surgical procedure to remove a lipoma in a rather "private" area, and wound care was quite the challenge. I was worried after the sutures were removed, as part of the incision skin gaped open. I decided to try this kit, but I also purchased the smaller squares that come in a jar, as the gel that comes in the kit is like 3 x 4 and would not be easy to cut. So I got both the jar of gel thingies and this kit. I put one of the small gel pads and then used the knit adhesive over that, and it all stuck together and was less bulky, and didn't need to use a bunch of tape to try to keep it in place. The knit adhesive are very thin, but VERY adhesive, and held the gel square in place perfectly. I never knew about this product, and I think it is GREAT! The incision is closing as it should, and really speeding up the process, and more comfortable for my husband. Recommended.

can't even begin to count the number of times this product has succeeded on brutal and/or long hikes and climbs
