This is my second jar of Skin Squares. I'm a Scoutmaster and frequently deal with blisters. It took me a couple years (and lots of sore Scout feet) but I eventually went through my entire first jar. For high adventure hiking trips I store a couple dozen of these in a baggie and keep them in my first aid kit.

A couple irritations:

1) They stick together, so sometimes when you fish one out you get the pad itself, plus one or more of the little mylar protective covers for other squares. Eventually you end up with lots of gel squares stuck to each other, since their mylar covers came off with other squares.

2) They dry out over time. I simply add a few drops of water to the jar (and to my baggie) every once in a while, and that keeps them moist.

These are BY FAR the best blister treatment I've used. And believe me, I've tried everything. Everyone who I've shared these with is very pleased with the results.

It heals blisters quickly, and it's great for dancers who wear pointe shoes especially. I suggest the square ones because they are easier to use. It's hard to get at a local pharmacy. I love it!

I'm using this product on my arches to adjust to distance running with orthopedic inserts. Although it can shift on your skin somewhat, second skin, combined with pre-wrap and athletic tape, holds up better than any other product I've tried for blister protection and prevention.
