Putting together a foot care bag for WDW

[nkereina]

Couldn't you just use the bathtub in your room? Unless you're in a handicap accessible room that only has a shower stall, you should be able to use the tub just fine. I've done that before - just place a towel on the edge of the tub to cushion your bum.

That's what I would do, but other folks were posting that they brought some hard sided tubs/basins to soak their feet in and I think an inflatable one would be more convenient to bring along, especially for people flying. I guess it doesn't make a difference if you're driving.

I think people also like to sit on the bed or on a chair and maybe watch TV or something, and let the feet soak for a long while. For anyone who does this, get some kind of peppermint soap/addititive to put in with your feet!

Instead of peppermint lotion, I like to mix 5-10 drops of peppermint oil to 2-3 oz of coconut oil at home and put that in a travel size container to slather on at the end of the day. Easily portable, all natural, smells awesome, and has a wonderful cooling effect. This works well for headaches and sore muscles as well. Just keep it away from your eyes!

Great idea! I have coconut oil (put it on my face) so I just have to look for peppermint oil. Thanks!

Used to swear by Moleskin but now am a firm believer in Band Aid Blister Bandages. They do a much better job of protecting and not rolling up. My sister turned me on to these in Vegas and I already have 2 boxes put up for WDW in October

I got a box of these for our last trip, but they were really weird. They seemed to work well, but they melt away in water (or sweat)!? My son used them and said that they seem to meld into your skin. My DH echoed that, but I didn't use them. Did you have the same experience, or do we have weird band aid eating feet?
