Link C Question for ya.....

Post by FatiguedMe » Thu Apr 30, 2009 10:29 am

Where and what kind of moleskin are you all talking about? I would like to try that as resperonics suggests it also, just need to know where to get it.
Thank you
Fatigued

I am not LinkC but moleskin is a Dr Scholl's foot product. It comes in little rectangular sheet packages hung in on pegs in the stores normally. Any drug store or most discount stores should have it.

There are two products I am aware of - moleskin and mole foam - the foam is thicker. There are also other brands that aren't Dr. Scholl's.

This will sound weird, but look in the shoe dept. (I think WalMart and Target might have it in the Pharmacy area, but it will be in "foot care".) It's made by Dr Scholl's. Comes in a package of 3 or 4 sheets each about 3x5 inches. The primary use is to cushion ill-fitting shoes and/or bunions. You cut it to whatever size/shape you need then stick to the inside of your shoe.

Most of us stick it to the mask seal. I've heard some say they put it on their nose, but it's so sticky it brought tears to my eyes peeling it off in the morning! Maybe if you stick it to your thumbs/fingers a few times first it wouldn't be so sticky? But I recommend having only the soft side against your skin.
