    Mole skin tip...... We used mole skin during volleyball when we would get terrible blisters. So IF you already have a blister cut a hole into the center of your piece and put your mole skin on with the blister in the cut out hole. This way the sticky mole skin won't tear off the blister OR if the blister already popped and is raw the adhesive won't hurt it. The thickness of the surrounding moleskin should protect that injury. If it isn't thick enough put 2 layers of moleskin on to increase the thickness. Hope this helps!

    • @toddylu6869
      @toddylu6869 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +6

      It is also easier to cut round the corners of the moleskin and use a dart at each corner so it bends and fits certain areas better. With a rounded edge, the corners won’t lift up as easy.

    • @Reed-2big
      @Reed-2big 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +5

      We used to tell our camp kids to let us know when they even had a hot spot as their boots were almost always wet! Moleskin is almost like duct tape for all its uses.

    20 years ago my husband and I walked across England. He, silly man, decided to wear new boots, as opposed to getting his broken boots resoled. We were walking an average of 18 miles a day, and by the end of day 3 his feet looked like minced meat. He put moleskin, pretty well everywhere, and we were able to finish the walk. Most incredible 2 weeks of my life. We walked 200+ mikes, climbed 10000+ feet and took zillions of pics. 14 days in England with only 4 hours of rain. We came back with suntans, never heard of in the UK.
    Really enjoy following you. 👍🏻

    You should try Wellow compression socks. They're made of bamboo and keep you warm in winter and cool in summer. Plus they're antimicrobial. Much better than any other compression socks I have had. I'll never buy another brand!

    My husband is retired US Army and they had 12 mile marches all the time. He always put mole skin on his ankles and under his toes before so he didn't get blisters. So when I buy a new pair of shoes I always use it until I get them broken in.

    Years ago I switched from moleskin to duct tape. It protects against hot spots/blisters without the bulk. The smooth surface allows sock or shoe to slide smoothly.

    • @Reed-2big
      @Reed-2big 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Double socks gives you slip you need too. I was also taught not to put duct tape directly on your skin, by actually one of my campers, as it will tear skin off! I was taping an ankle so I just taped on top of a thin sock. Yes it left a bit of glue on the sock, but better than tearing my skin off. Of course, this was before someone decided to make cheaper duct tape that doesn’t really stick!

    Have used mole skin and is lot better than a bandaid. But now like the BANDAID blister packs, for heel and for toe. They have something in them, and they really seal and pad the blister - puff up, and just leave on and on until it disappears. Was like a miracle first time I used.

    Many years ago I booked a room in another state. Later that night, someone tried to open the door (that led to the outside) because the motel had booked the same room to two different people. Now I make sure the door doesn’t lead to the outside when I book a room. I think the lock is a must for all travelers, especially solo travelers

    Thank you for your information shared. We were watching as a random search after dinner, my adult son and myself, and our ears picked up excitedly about the moleskin blister prevention tape. We have never heard of it. At the moment he is limping and hobbling with blisters from new shoes. Have paddeded and taped the blisters at present. I read some comments and was really taken by how many people have used it and know it's a great product. So off we go searching for it online. Thanks so much for sharing. It may change the way we now protect our feet with new shoes. Bandaids are not great, terribly fiddly and fall off.

    I started using moleskins some 40 years ago for when my husband I would go hiking. They're indispensable!
    I also found compression LEGGINGS on Amazon that I bought when I was getting vein work done on my legs. They're still tight to put on but not as much of a struggle as full length compression stockings!!!
    On the subject of solid shampoo and conditioner, I bought some about three weeks or so, but kept forgetting to try it. I finally tried it on Tuesday, and it really is a game changer! The convenience and portability is brilliant but I am SUPER impressed with how it lathered and how soft my hair was after it was dried! I'm sold!!!

    Great ideas. I’m going on a solo cruise to the Mediterranean in two weeks. I am going to order the waist band and door lock! I didn’t think about the beaches being rocky so I will pack my water shoes! Thank you!

    I took moleskin on a recent trip and it really came in handy when my husband got a blister. Also, I do have bar shampoo. The nice thing is that you can cut the bar into smaller pieces so you don't have to take the entire thing on a trip, and save some space.

    When cutting the moleskin remember to round the corners to help to keep the edges from lifting or rolling. DO NOT PUT MOLESKIN ON TOP OF AN EXISTING BLISTER. Sorry for the emphasis here but it is super important so you don't tear off the "roof" of the existing blister. Cut the moleskin out in a donut type shape to accommodate the area of loose or separated skin where the bubble or pocket of the blister is. I know this sounds gross to some people but it is the difference between successful treatment and extended misery.

    We always travel with moleskin. It can save you when hiking or to protect your heels if your feet have gotten or might get wet. It really stays on.

    I learned about mole skin while in college 50 years ago from a girl in my dorm who was a ballet dancer. I found myself purchasing it about 3 years ago, but it was just a small package with 3 squares, each about 3"x 4 ". As far as the waistbelt, the first thing I thought was if it is RFID protected as further security for any credit cards. Thank you for showing the backpack as I was looking for something that was roomy and yet flexable. 👍

    I have used the same brand of tea tree shampoo bars and i absolutely love it. I didn’t however, enjoy the conditioner bar. For some reason, It left my fine hair limp and greasy. When i only used the shampoo bar, i got a great lather and my hair was so clean! I will have to maybe try a different conditioner bar to see if it was just that particular one

    I use have been using the rice shampoo and conditioner for over a year. Game changer. I have struggled with eczema on my scalp off and on since I was in my teens. When I moved to the solid products, it cleared up and hasn't come back. I also use the conditioner as a face shaving lubricant. Works great. So, it replaced my shaving cream, too. Not only are these products superior, but cheaper than the products they replaced.

    Love the soft waist band. The solid shampoo and Conditioner look solid. I love Moleskin, it is fabulous. I used the compression socks when I went to Alaska. They were amazing. BE WARNED I have that backpack. Yes it has a ton of room but gets so heavy that I was in agony!!! 😢 Instead I have ordered a small TravelPro bag which has wheels. Do those sandals have cushioning. I almost lost one of my air tags because it was loose. I ordered the tags into which I can insert them.

I’m not as big of a fan of the conditioner bar because my hair is really long but I am taking it on my cruise this month. Also bought the suitcase backpack and it looks like it will work well! Thanks for all your videos, I’m binging them before my cruise.

    I’ve been using Lush brand bar shampoo and conditioner for years for travel. They make a variety for different hair needs so you will find one good for your hair. I also use their soaps as well, they are so yummy I’ve stopped using shower gel even at home. I also always have a bit of moleskin in my bag to cut to size. Best thing to prevent blisters or deal with a sore spot from too much walking.

    I'm a fan of the compression bags!! We've got an upcoming trip very soon, and we'll be gone for 17 days, at both a cruise and a family trip, so differing kinds of clothes are necessary. Because we'll have 4 people in one compact SUV, we can't carry excessive luggage... voila! Compression cubes to the rescue!

    Ilana, I’ve been using shampoo and conditioner bars for years and love them. They’re not all created equal, so you may need to try a few different brands before you find one that works for your hair. I do like the Kitsch brand but found that after about 3 weeks, the shampoo bar “dries out” and gets cracks in it, making it difficult to rub into your hair.

    If you like solid shampoo, consider Dr. Bronner’s bar soap. I have used this for years and love this. If you use it, you will think it will leave your hair dried out, but it doesn’t. Once it dries, you will be happy with how soft and shiny your hair is. It’s good body soap as well, and far cheaper than most solid shampoo bars. One benefit of the peppermint scented soap is that it gets rid of the chlorine smell in your hair.

    Now I always bring the pre-cut moleskin strips because I'm not used to wearing my dress shoes much anymore, so I always get a blister on cruises when I wear them in the evening! They are great and you can get them in black also so that they don't show with your black dress shoes.
