OK, I know this is weird, but since I've started swimming seriously I've come across the following problem. The skin on the bottom of my big toes rips off. I think its from the bottom of the pool and from pushing off from the turn. It wouldn't be a prob if it didn't all come off on one spot. The skin rips off down to the "quick" and gets very red and painful.
I've tried band-aids (fall off; even the "waterproof" ones) and first aid tape (same prob).
Has anyone else had this prob? What did you do about it? i refuse to give up swimming, so I gotta find some way to keep my skin!!!
Thanks,

This tape can easily remove loose floor tile if applied correctly. It is used in television production to attach cables to floors (to prevent someone from moving and tripping on them) and you are warned--don't attach to floors or walls that contain tile or paint. If you want to replace floor tiles or repaint walls--this is the way to go! It is also the universal fix-all for anything that is broken--cars, cameras. It comes in attractive colors in addition to silver/grey!
I wonder what it does when you apply it to a part of your body with hair (such as a wrist)? Do you use some kind of underylayment on the skin and THEN apply the duct tape? It does leave a sticky layer when you remove it from hairless skin areas (soles of feet and palms of hands) which isn't easy to remove.
