Nexcare Blister Prevention Tape, Waterproof Foam Medical Tape, Sticks Firmly to Skin to Help Prevent Blisters - 1 In x 5 Yds, 1 Roll of Tape

I have been experiencing pain in my heel area during my 5 miles daily walks. After using the Nexus blister prevention product, my symptoms were eliminated. The tape is padded and stays in place. It is water proof and is easily removed after exercising. This is a quality product, is easy to apply and has done precisely what it advertised.

Protects well and stays put. Also is reusable if you keep it clean.

I recently took up running. After buying expensive running shoes, I was pretty disappointed when the side of the shoe started digging into the side of my foot. I bought this to tape on my foot and it’s helped me avoid that pain. I’ve used it for every run since and I have no complaints! The adhesive may start to slip with sweat but I have socks on and it seems to help keep it in place. Holds up well! Use as many layers as you want!

Update: Less than 2 months later and the price nearly doubled. I think I will be looking for another alternative! After being injured and a long recovery, I didn't realize that my feet would be so tender. I started a rehab class that involved a lot of walking, not only in class, but to get to the room where it was held at the hospital. Needless to say, after my third class I noticed that, my shoe on one foot and my brace on the other, were rubbing my heels raw. I didn't get much warning until it was suddenly very painful. I thought I was going to have to quit class. My daughter told me about moleskin. I first tried another brand, but I think it was too early to try that and that the glue also may have aggravated my situation so I waited a week and then tried this. I took some advice from another review and rubbed the tape to warm up the adhesive before and after I put it on. I think that helped a lot. However, the end that got handled more and went on last did not adhere as well as the first end. You'll see my resolution in the pics. The tape sticks pretty good to itself so I wrapped the ends to keep them from peeling off. When taking it off, it was adhered pretty good to my skin, so I would guess that was due to the continued pressure and body heat. One thing to keep in mind when using this particular tape is not to stretch the tape. If it gets stretched it wants to pull back and you'll have a harder time getting it to stay stuck on. After the second use, I am happy with the protection that it provided to my healing, but not healed, heels. Lol

I have these boots that will give me blisters on my pinky toes if I wear them for too long. But with these tapes, I wore these boots for a few days for extended hours and have no blisters so it definitely works. It'll definitely extend the amount of time you can wear your shoes for sure.

I have really bad hand eczema and in the winter my hands get especially cracked. I’ve been relying on the clear nexcare waterproof bandages (basically tegaderm) to keep the broken skin clean/help it heal. But after so many hand washes they would eventually leak & I still ended up having to change my bandages daily bc water would penetrate. This tape works so much better. It’s thicker so it’s easier to apply and doesn’t get stick to itself/is easily movable snd will still adhere, and I’m able to adjust the length as needed so I can wrap my entire finger if needed. Additional pros: truly waterproof if you get a good seal to start and doesn’t leave a sticky residue. Only complaint is that I paid extra for the dispenser, and received a plain roll. But that has nothing to do with the quality of the product.

This is like the 10th roll I've gone through. I play marimba in school and get blisters all the time, but putting this tape on my fingers and hands helps me play without pain+prevents blisters. It's easy to tear by hand and really easy to use. It's the perfect size for wrapping fingers and palms.

I've been breaking in a new pair of shoes, and I have ALWAYS gotten heel blisters when doing so, so I bought this tape to help with the blistering when it inevitably happened. These particular shoes are also rubbing on my little toe on each foot, which isn't terribly unusual for me either. It has been rather hit and miss with me. The blisters are in a tough spot for any tape; it's going to constantly get rubbed, will be exposed to a lot of sweat, and will have to last for most of the day. When applying to my heel, I use my usual method of "use what I need, don't overdo it." I put a bandage over any forming blister, then put the tape in a vertical line directly over the blister, extending an inch or two above and below. When I don't have a forming blister and want to prevent blisters, I'll start at the curve of my heel and run the tape until it's about an inch above where my shoe heel sits. On the little toes, I wrap it fully around so it adheres to itself and completely encases the toe. The wrap around the toes has come off almost every time, even if I put a bandage under it; this tape seems to *really* prefer to be flat to work best. At the heel, it's been about 75% hit, 25% miss. 3/4 times it stays on all day and doesn't have any problems, but that 4th time is REALLY annoying. If it comes off your skin, it simply won't stick back to it. I needed to shave some of the hairs around the back of my ankle to get it to fully adhere to it, that helped some. Even so, I'd prefer that it do better than this, the brand I used to use (which is not made in the US, why I switched brands) had this problem a lot less frequently (and never came off my toes)

Plenty of tape and strong adhesion + resistance to water etc!

I use it to protect some parts of my hand when I'm playing squash more often or intensely than usual. It works well!

Fantastic for trekking expeditions.

I can’t believe I didn’t discover this sooner! I always end up with painful blisters after long hikes, no matter what socks or shoes I use. But after trying this tape, I’ve had zero blisters. Seriously, not even a hint of one. After 9 hrs hike, yes the tape got a bit wet and didn't stay perfectly. but for shorter hikes, It stays perfectly in place, feels comfortable, and gives just the right amount of protection. I’ve tested it on several long trails, and my feet have never been happier. If you’re a hiker, runner, or just someone who struggles with blisters, do yourself a favor and get this tape. Total game-changer!

No more blister with new pair of shoe.
