blisters

This past week or so I've had blisters on the soles of my feet, a result of having walked home too quickly in shoes I hadn't worn in ages.

Since being introduced to the miracle of Compeed by Husband's friend, A, blisters are no longer a thing to fear. Stick one on and within a minute or so the pain subsides and you're walking again.

Then we ran out. Husband went to get some more, but the supermarket only had Scholl ones.
Same difference, right?

No.

Compeed plasters have the cushioning gel right to the edge. Scholl plasters had a tiny blob of gel in the middle of the plaster, which meant I had to cut some of the edge off to get the gel part over the blister near my toes.

Compeed plasters are sturdy. I can't be doing with all this 'peel this side first, apply to the foot then peel the reverse side' nonsense; I peel the whole lot off and then I can see what I'm doing. I tried this with the Scholl plasters and I was left with a tangled, sticky mess in my hand. Ridiculously thin.

Compeed plasters take the pain away. I'm still hobbling with the Scholl one.

Conclusion: Compeed rules the universe - but you probably knew that already.
