Band-Aid Friction Block Stick
While cushion liners help ease the pains from wearing high heels, Band-Aid Friction Block Stick is great against rubbing and irritation which usually cause blisters, among other things.
Apply the band-aid friction block stick on your feet or any other parts of you body. This will prevent excessive friction. It doesn’t stain nor does it make your feet feel slippery. And it’s invisible too.
It’s $6.99 from drugstore.com and other stores.
