I opened the jar and the protector seal was not sealed. It says sealed for your protection. I would like a replacement. Not sure if it had been returned . There wasn’t very much glue on the top of the jar.

But these patches did not stay put (slipped around) and did not afford me any more relief than other less expensive blister bandages. The cost of the Hexagels was steep, but I am ready to try anything to afford me relief from blisters. I read that in order for these to provide best relief, they are to be used in conjunction with the "Protective Adhesive Knit" patches for additonal cost. Theyku HAD to be good, right? Wrong! They did not stay in place at all and slipped off one toe. I was also testing two other brands I had never heard of, and I found to be much more effective at relieving friction and staying put. I did not put lotion or use anything other than the product. My toe blisters never quite heal because my toes are so crowded from bunions. Surgery did not help on one foot, so I did not have surgery on the other foot. I have learned to pad as best I can, or I will be hurtin' for certain! I am always looking for the Next Best Thing. Medagel claims "these patches are perfect for protecting against chafing, friction, and hot spots." Unfortunately, they did not protect my toes, they slipped around, and my blister worsened. So I will put them on my cat for amusement...or maybe use them for window decals.
