If you put them on ruptured blisters, the create a nice warm and moist environment for germs to grow. When you put it on the unbroken it creates a small cavern around the blister to create pressure relieve. You are not supposed to remove it until it comes of by itself, which it will when there...
Hi all,
I would like to buy one hiking stick.
The Black Diamond Distance Carbon Woman flz/z.
But the old model with the small button you push in to extend the poles, not the flick lock (like the one on the picture).
So I thought, if you had finished your camino, perhaps you wouldn’t mind...
Hello :D
Compeed is to be worn on unbroken blisters - never on ruptured ones! You put it on clean dry skin and wear it until it comes of on its own.

I walked for a long stretch on the camino with a man and his rescue dog. They were part of some organisation and trying to create focus on the harsh conditions many spanish dogs live under.
They were accepted almost everywhere, but they also slept in a tent every night outside the albergues...
I live in northern Europe and just bring the one I use at home. They work fine in Spain. :)
I didn’t know there was a difference between northern and southern Europe plugs.
