Sticking plasters for young tennis players

DS is 8 and a keen tennis player. He has a big blister on the thumb of his playing hand. Does anyone know sort of plaster/tape etc would be likely to stay on and still let him grip the tennis racket?

Yes you need to get the Compeed plasters. They're designed to stay on , they're waterproof and you don't take them off - they'll start to peel when they need to come off. They form a protective bubble around the blister and don't budge

UrgentDoughnut. Are they ok for hands? The adverts seem to focus on the heel of your foot.

Yep. They come in different sizes and stretch to fit. Have a google

Sorry posted too soon! I meant to say I also use compeed and have used on the hand before and they're really good so I second the recommendation

Just ordered "small" compeed blister packs. Thank you!
