Review on Povihome 14 Pack Upgrade Gel Toe Protector Silicone Toe Caps Toe Sleeve Protectors, Prevent Pain For Corns, Blisters And Ingrown Toenails (2 Pack Large Size + 6 Pack Medium Size + 6 Pack Small Size) by Marco Huff

Fits my toes I bought them for. Fits my thumbs too and didn't plan on them. BUT the problem that leads to ingrown nails for my feet also extends to my fingers too. I was born with very fragile thin nails.that as an adult they split length wise and thus it is a constat battle to not have ingrown nails my big toes and my pinky toe too splits but does not lead to an ingrown problem. These are too large to fit over my tiny toe but usually a thick glob of acrylic clear polish protects the smallest toe. The acryclic nail polish also works usually well with finger problems. But have to apply almost daily as water take it off and if I put on too many layers on fingers it too seems to come off that much easier? So I can't wait to see how long these last in use on toes. I am latex sensitive. ALso turns out some acrylic adhesives used on latex free bandages these days has similar allergic reactions as the latex. SO this is my experiment. Not enough time yet to see how well they do. I still need to use acrylic nail polish a glob in each outside spot of toe nail.then let to start to dry and just before slip in a tight wad of pure cotton pulled off of a cotton Q-Tip. This helps prevent the toe nail breaking up and splitting and leading to the unusual case of ingrown nail infections. Bandaid over that helps keep it in place between showers and in shoes or sandals with or without socks. THESE will replace the bandaid I hope. Just had a reaction to a non latex brand used for 2 years now and yet both feet reacted so it's a no go. At same time I ordered these I also ordred 300 new never bought before latex free bandaids and just hope not to have a reaction. BUT would love to see these replace the bandaids. Mine have not split or come apart yet but have not used long term.so time will tell. But even if they are fragile but last a day or two there will be times I appreciate the option of using these over an ugly bandaid and sandal exposure. With all of them fitting my big toe.my other toes are too slim for these.I do wish they had one size lower to choose from. When I ordered one size L and one size XL. From reviews I determined the L was the best option. I'm not sure my husband wouldn't have issues with it being to small for his toes. I couldn't tell any difference in size among all ten. Packed two to a tiny thin ziplock bag. So they will keep clean while stored. I also bought the stretchy fabric covered silcone pads a set of four at the same time. I tried similar years ago that were all open ended. These were closed on one end and you could trim shorter which I do need to do. They are very thick and probably too thick for the use I need. But when my toes is infected it might offer much needed cushioning that these might not be thick enough to provided. But I am happy with these so far. And enough so I am looking to pick up a second set of ten today so I have spares when needed as I know enough to say they will be lovely alternative if bandaids fail me like they just did. But I suspect my go to will continue to be bandaids as long as I can find ones that I do not have reaction too. By the way .YES I realize I am sensitive to acrylic adhesives some anyway yet to date I can tolerate without reactions to the acrylic clear nail polishes.my favorite is Sally Hansens Bamboo and Green Tea expensive but lasts a long time for my use. I was told a few years ago by dental workers that they have developed sensitivities to some acrylics due to their exposure and grinding some products down etc. over the years and a few are now developing allergies to latex. They were told that there seems to be a connection but not sure what is triggering one morphing into the other. But the 3M bandiad folks assured me that now and again others latex suffers have severe reaction like I did to their product some years back now. They were sweet and sent me a box of free products and a check for 20.00. No I did not ask for these things nor did I threaten them I just informed them of what happened and was attempting to identify the possible allergen trigger. And so now I have two possible examples of links of one to the other. These silicone though a rubber product is for the most part allergen free. But a few weeks ago I read where some folks are developing silicone sensitivities. So to that.I wish everyone luck but we are all individuals and we owe it to ourselves to pay attention if something seems amiss.stop using it. Test it out a second time to insure it could be the cause of the issue. In my case I have to make sure it's a latex or other allergen not say a secondary anerobic infection or some such thing which being covered all the time like I do something might develop. If that happend it might infect my shoes and then keep returning. SO I work hard to make sure my socks/shoes etc. are always clean. Yes I throw most all my shoes right into a washer.have for over 40 years including leather. I am a bit more careful these days because some expensive shoes a few years ago warned not to. At first I got away with it but one day the soles broke up. And eventually separated completely. They charge 100 dollars to resole plus shipping both ways. OUCH. Lesson learned. I wash those shoes by hand not machine. I air dry always never machine all shoes. But yes keep them clean. I use hand sanitizer on my rubber crock and crock like sandals and my leather sandals too on an on going basis. Usually every shower or two if wearing them a lot. So I keep two pairs of my favorite shoes so I can switch them out with clean pairs. Hope some of these hints and bits of info what I do to keep feet healthy and happy and treat my toe nail problem can be useful for at least one person. I know a bit long winded today. Wishing you all happy feet and a happy life.
