Spenco Gel Blister Pads 1" Squares — 200-Count, 95% Water Cool-Gel & Non-Stick Relief

Spenco 2nd Skin Dressing 1" Squares are small, water-based gel blister pads that soothe, protect and prevent friction on feet and body.

Whether you're training for a race, hiking a multi-day route, or dealing with everyday rubbing from shoes and clothing, these single-inch squares deliver immediate, cool contact and a protective barrier. The 95% water gel formula conforms to skin contours to cushion hot spots and chafing without sticky residue, and the 200-count pack keeps you stocked for repeated use or group outings. Compact and odorless, the pads are designed for convenient application and removal so you can stay active with less interruption.

How do these 1" squares relieve a developing hot spot or blister?

When applied to an irritated area, the high-water-content gel creates a cooling contact layer that reduces friction between skin and fabric or footwear. That cushion disperses pressure and prevents further skin breakdown while you move, helping to manage pain and delay blister formation.

• 95% water gel for immediate cooling on contact
• Thin, conforming square shape fits common friction points
• Non-stick backing for gentle removal without residue

Will these pads stay on during exercise or hikes?

Designed to adhere securely to skin, the pads remain in place through walking, running and moderate activity when applied to clean, dry skin. They are intended as a temporary protective layer during activity; heavy sweating or prolonged immersion may reduce adhesion.

• Adhesive formulated for skin contact and movement
• Use on dry skin for best hold; reapply as needed
• Compact 1" size suitable for toes, heels, fingers and small chafe points

How do I apply and remove Spenco 2nd Skin Dressing safely?

For best results, cleanse and dry the area before application, peel the pad from its backing, and press it firmly over the hot spot or blister. To remove, gently lift an edge and pull slowly; the non-stick layer minimizes residue so removal is comfortable.

• Clean and dry skin before applying
• Press firmly to ensure full edge contact
• Remove slowly to avoid tugging sensitive skin

Can these squares be used for other skin irritations beyond blisters?

Yes — the 1" gel squares work for a variety of small friction-related skin issues such as chafing, minor rubbing from straps, and hot spots from new shoes. They act as a temporary protective cushion and cooling layer, but are not a substitute for wound care when skin is broken or infected.

• Useful on feet, hands, under straps, and along seams
• Odorless formula allows discreet daytime use
• Not intended as primary treatment for open, infected wounds

Who is this for? Active people who encounter repetitive friction — runners, hikers, cyclists, gym-goers and outdoor workers — will find these Spenco 2nd Skin 1" Squares ideal for managing hot spots before they become painful blisters. They’re also useful for everyday comfort when shoes or clothing cause small areas of rubbing. The 200-count pack suits individuals who want a long-lasting supply, team first-aid kits, group outings, or anyone who prefers to carry spare protection on trips. Keep a stash in your training bag, hiking pack, or glove compartment so a small pad is always within reach when skin starts to protest.
