Pro  4827     Plano, Texas |  Subject: Band-aids vs Liquid Bandage vs Super GlueI recently did a stupid thing. Went for my morning run yesterday without socks to see how it felt. I wanted to do this before my first tri in a couple of weeks since it's been beat into me "never try anything new on race day". And I didn't bring socks with me. About two miles into the run, I had to stop and walk. Now I have a total of 7 blisters. I also have a 5K race coming up on Saturday against some guys from the office. I have cut and drained the blisters and they're all covered with band-aids. Question - has anyone used Liquid Bandage before? What has been the experience with it? I also read somewhere that Super Glue worked just as well. Has anyone here actually used Super Glue to cover blisters or is just a myth? |

| Veteran 213 | Subject: RE: Band-aids vs Liquid Bandage vs Super Glue I have used liquid bandaid and the generic equivalent for all kinds of cuts, cracks and scrapes.. but not for blisters. It works great as a waterproof barrier and would likely help a bit with the sensitivity. I haven't tried superglue, but have seen it recommended (along with duct tape). You might also want to look into some of the pads like 2nd Skin. |

| Extreme Veteran 389 Central Wisconsin | Subject: RE: Band-aids vs Liquid Bandage vs Super Glue Ive used super glue for years to take care of blisters. It stings a bit though. You can still do the 5k, just get some moleskin (like second skin) and put them over the blisters and youll be fine. |

It was the advise of my doctor since I love mountain climbing when I was a teenager. It worked pretty well but yes it does sting a bit but so far, no other problem encountered. Highly recommended! |
