What is moleskin and how do you use it? I keep reading about it on these boards.
Thanks!

Moleskin is a Dr Scholl's item that you use to cover areas prone to blisters or use it to cover existing blisters in a doughnut shape cut out. It is like adding another layer of skin.

Moleskin comes in pieces much bigger than you need for a blister on the back of your ankle so you need to bring scissors with you to cut it. The advantage over bandaids is that it will stay in place & not bunch or come off as easily as bandaids. I have had great luck with Bandaid's brand blister bandages that come in little plastic cases. But I have small feet & very narrow back of the ankle. They did not work on my 6 foot size 12 shoe 15 year old during football practice last year. The moleskin worked for him.

Something I like better that the moleskin is another product by Dr. Scholl's. I like it because it seems to stay in place better than the moleskin. The product is called Cushlin, comes in a blue pastic box. You can put them on before you get a blister or over an existing blister. I use these every time we go do Disney and I have not had problems with getting blisters.

Have a Disney Day!
