Compeed

At Up and Under in Cardiff, UK, we stock a variety of Compeed blister plasters, including mixed packs and area-specific options. Friction blisters, caused by stress and rubbing between the skin and shoes, are common but manageable. These fluid-filled pockets form as the top skin layer separates from underlying tissues, creating discomfort. Compeed plasters are designed to prevent and treat blisters, helping to cushion and protect the affected area for faster healing.

Blisters can disrupt daily activities, but prevention is possible with proper footwear and preparation. Wearing well-fitting shoes and using an anti-blister stick can reduce friction. Contrary to popular belief, synthetic socks are better than cotton for moisture control, and foot powder, though helpful, can sometimes increase friction. Compeed offers reliable solutions to keep you comfortable and active.
