Blisters & Hot Spots

Blisters start as a hot spot: skin rubbing against a boot, shoe or grip over and over. A thin gel layer takes the friction instead of your skin, so a hot spot never turns into a blister that keeps you off the field.

Protect the skin, stay in the game. Keeping Athletes in the Game™ since 1994.

What causes it

  • Friction from new or poorly fitting footwear
  • Moisture from sweat softening the skin
  • Long hikes, runs or practices
  • Hands rubbing on sticks, bars, rackets or rowing handles

How Bunga Pads help

Bunga blister cushions and gel discs stick or sit right over the problem spot. They are reusable and washable, and unlike tape or moleskin they cushion as well as protect.

Tips for the best fit

  • Cover a hot spot as soon as you feel it, before a blister forms.
  • Keep skin clean and dry before applying a pad.
  • Wash and air-dry gel pads after use so they last longer.
Not sure which pad or size you need? Tell us your sport, shoe size and where it hurts, and we will help you choose.
