BellaSugar — Thu, 26 Apr 2007 15:44:33 PDT

Band-Aid Activ-Flex Blister Block Stick, $7, is the latest and greatest invention for blister prevention! It's the end all be all excuse for buying ridiculously expensive and uncomfortable shoes. Ahh, and this also happens to be great for your wedding day because let's face it: you can't really break in your wedding shoes without running the risk of getting them dirty!

This new product is an invisible shield that you swipe over the areas on your feet where you would normally get a blister. It actually looks kinda like a deodorant stick. The emollient coats and protects the skin from being rubbed raw by the friction of your stiff shoe. And, because it's invisible, it's safe to wear with open toe shoes and it isn't messy so it won't damage your shoes.

The best thing to hit your feet since the pedicure! Band-Aid's miracle cushioned "Blister Block" bandage can be worn on heels and toes to prevent new blisters from forming. If you're about four hours too late for those, the "Advanced Healing Blister" product protects and heals the blisters already there.

Since we know you don't really want to buy "practical" shoes, these little bits of padded heaven might just be a lifesaver on those Carrie Bradshaw SATC stiletto days!

"I find proper socks and the right pair of trainers makes all the difference." - mandiesoh
"I use Body Glide. It comes in a deodorant-like stick. It is clear, odorless and works like a charm. It also works for under arm chafing or sports bra chafing. I use it for my running shoes and my cute shoes. It is great to put on your usual 'hot spots' when you get a new pair of heels to break in. I keep a mini one in my purse just in case my shoes start to bother me during the day." - econinsf
