I saw the study in the WM journal on blistoban and have to tell you what else I have discovered it is good for. Larry and I took our 2 granddaughters camping and they both got mosquito bites. Of course, as kids, do, they wanted to scratch them until they bleed. I had blistoban with me (of course) and I put a small one on each of their bites. It was totally amazing. They stayed on through all the washing and getting wet (dry climate, didn’t swim). And the bites didn’t itch anymore which meant the girls didn’t scratch anymore! I loved it! I wish I would have taken a photo for you of these little tykes covered in about 10 blistobans each, the orange ones, no less. It was very cute.

The other use I found really saved me. I am deathly allergic to poison ivy. I get some sort of internal autoimmune response. It rapidly spreads all over my body, my eyes swell shut and I get wheezing in my lungs. Not a good thing. Well, I got 2 spots on my arm. I immediately put triamcinolone on them and covered them with blistoban. I changed it every 3–4 days to put more triamcinolone on and repeated this process for 2.5 weeks. Guess what? The poison ivy didn’t spread and I never had to take prednisone. Some might questions whether this was really PI. Trust me, I know what PI looks like after one very horrible experience with it.

I just want to tell you that Blist-O-Ban is a life-saving product for those of us who run! Last weekend I completed the Seattle Marathon with NO BLISTERS!! I have NEVER before been able to complete a running event without developing painful blisters on both feet around my toes. At the end of every event I have always suffered from blisters and sore feet for days afterwards but NO MORE! Your knowledgable and helpful staff at the Expo booth were very friendly and applied the product to both feet at no charge and clearly explained how the product works and how to care for my toes. I wish I had bought a box right then and there. You can bet I will never run another event without using this product! Thank you from the bottom of my feet!

After dealing with blisters and hot spots all during my training for the San Diego Rock N Roll Marathon the last four or so months, finding Blist-O-Ban solved my problems! ...At the San Diego Rock N Roll Marathon this past weekend, I stopped by the Blist-O-Ban booth at the expo and was impressed with the demonstration of how the bans work. So, I bought some of the large size ones for the bottom of my feet. The bans stayed on during the 13.1 mile walk, I didn't feel them, they did not slide, I did not feel any burning (which would normally begin around mile 6 or 7) and did not develop any blisters or tender spots. It was truely a miracle! Thanks so much and I will promote your product to anyone I know with blister issues!

As an avid backpacker, I must tell you that in the past 15 years of backpacking, I have tried numerous pairs of expensive boots, hundreds of different socks, sock liners,...and any other miracle product I could find to prevent blisters. Yet, EVERY time I went, I would get blisters- the big bleeding, takes months to heal kind of blisters. Apparently my heel is more narrow than the rest of my foot, therefore causing friction on the heel. On a lark I decided I would try yet another "blister preventer" called blistoban. Before I started on a section hike of the Appalachian trail I placed a blistoban on each of my heels, and each morning put a new one on- I did not even get a hot spot on my 50 mile hike!!! As a nurse practitioner I understand the science behind the product, but as a backpacker all I recognize are RESULTS.
Thanks so much- a fan for life,

Super-thin! You’ll forget it’s on.

It kept our tester’s blister pain-free on a 3-mile run and stayed put all day.

Blist-O-Ban bandages stay on even in the shower and create a synthetic domed “blister” over the real one, protecting damaged skin and preventing pain.
Real Simple magazine

Blist-0-Ban Blister bandages designed to keep friction from worsening hot spots, Blist-0-Ban Bandages received glowing reviews from our test runners. "I'm normally blister-prone, and these were a life-saver," said one tester. The six-piece variety pack includes two each of the small, medium and large bandages that can mold to any part of a foot.

As a frequent boot tester, I know my way around blisters. Lately, I’ve been using Blist-O-Ban, which relieves hot spots by putting a small bubble of air directly over them. Available in three sizes, the bandages reduce friction and pressure by mimicking the physics of an actual blister.
