FAQ's

What is blister prevention tape?

Blister prevention tape is a type of adhesive tape designed to protect the skin from friction and reduce the risk of blisters forming, especially when wearing new shoes, walking for long periods, running or hiking.

How does Blistape work?

Blister prevention tape creates a protective barrier between the skin and the surface causing friction, such as shoes, socks, or clothing. This reduces the rubbing effect and helps prevent chafing and blisters from forming.

How do I apply Blistape?

Clean and dry the area where you want to apply the tape. Carefully apply it to the skin, smoothing out any wrinkles or air bubbles and rubbing the tape from the centre outwards to the edges for approximately 30 seconds. Make sure the edges are well-sealed to prevent the tape from peeling off.

Can Blistape be used with other blister prevention methods?

Yes, blister prevention tape can be used in conjunction with other methods such as wearing moisture-wicking socks, and choosing proper footwear to further reduce the risk of blisters. We do not recommend using it with lubricants or gels.

How long can Blistape stay on?

Wear time depends on activity level, sweating, and moisture. In general, Blistape can stay on for up to 24 hours, and some customers report wearing it for up to three days.

Is Blistape waterproof?

Blistape is water-resistant but not fully waterproof. It can stay in place in the shower or other wet conditions. If it starts to lift, gently pat it dry and press it down to help it re-adhere.

Can blister prevention tape be used on open blisters?

Blistape is designed to be use before blisters happen as a preventative measure, not as a medical treatment for blisters.

Is Blistape suitable for sensitive skin?

Yes, our tape is dermatologist tested and approved. The Vitamin E additive helps skin nourishment and reduces any irritation.
