Blister Bandaids - Wednesday, January 30, 2008 11:09 AM ( #1 )
I don't know if you would call this "workout equipment" per se, but it seemed a suitable place to post this.

Do you guys have any recommendations for bandaids or other treatments for foot blisters ?
I was going to go buy a regular pack of bandaids, but I want something really sturdy, that won't just peel off when I'm running.

Or is there any kind of ointment or something I could rub on them? Especially that stupid one on the back of my heel.


Thanks

You should learn how to tape your feet to prevent them all together. There's this book, I think it's called "Taking care of Your Feet". I don't know who it's by. He describes how a runner should tape his feet.

Well, listen to ripped chick

but in the mean time.

Band aid makes these thicker kinds

scroll down to the blister bandages.

I have used them with great success. If you are really good with your application, clean and dry, they will stay in place for up to 5 days even through showers and activity (personal experience talking there).

I am not usually one to like gimmicky products but they did work well for me.

those are both good suggestions above. look into those

but heres my two cents too haha.  i used to get blisters all the time on the back of my heals when i played soccer.  when you get them, make sure you take care of them and clean them.  drain them by poking a hole in them (with something clean!) but do not cut off the skin. you want that on there bc the skin below is still soft and vulnerable to getting a new blister.  wash it off as best you can and put some neosporine (sp) on it.  cover it with a good size bandaid (i've found that fabric ones stick best especially if you're going to run and get sweaty).  then make sure you always change your socks and keep your feet as dry as possible after working out. you should look into how to tape your heals up well to prevent further blistering until your skin is tough enough to handle the stress put on them. 

hope they get better.

I've used band aid blister bandages a regularly for about 2 years now.  I rarely get blisters now, but when I do I simply throw a band aid on and I'm good to go.
I'm currently trying a 10 day body detox and I feel great.

Are you drinking enough water ?

I had a pritty bad experiance with blisters, had 1 on my foot and 2 on my right hand, whent to the squat bar no trouble 1st set, but on my 2nd i found my legs trembling so all the pressure went to the front of my foot and burst my blister, i just thought my foot was sweating
 
Then when doing the lat pulldown i scraped the bar of my right hand and "stuff" went everywhere, i quickly legged it out, and hope no1 saw!
