WHY WE CREATED BLIST-O-BAN
Simple, we wanted a better product than what was currently available. Generic bandages, moleskin, roll-ons, and sprays didn't work for us. So we decided a new approach was needed, one that addressed the very cause of blisters: friction and shear forces on the skin. Blist-O-Ban is the result. Blist-O-Ban features a gliding dome that deflects shear and friction away from the skin, helping to prevent blisters and increase comfort.
