FAQs

How long can I wear the Bio Gel Bunion Protector each day?

You can wear the protector for as long as is comfortable, typically throughout the day. However, it's recommended to remove it for a few hours daily to allow your skin to breathe.

Can I wear this protector with socks?

Yes, the protector can be worn with or without socks. If wearing with socks, place the protector on your foot first, then put on the sock.

Is this product a medical treatment for bunions?

No, the Bio Gel Bunion Protector is designed for symptom relief by reducing friction and pressure. It is not a medical treatment for the underlying cause of bunions.

How do I know if I've positioned it correctly?

The protector should be placed directly over the prominent bone of the bunion. You should feel a cushioning effect without any pinching or discomfort from the placement itself.

Can children use this product?

This product is intended for adult use. Please consult a healthcare professional for pediatric bunion care solutions.

What is the expected lifespan of the protector?

With proper care and regular cleaning, the Bio Gel Bunion Protector can last for several weeks to a few months, depending on frequency of use and daily wear time.

Troubleshooting

Protector not staying in place

Ensure the skin is clean and completely dry before application. Reapply firmly, ensuring good contact. If using with socks, ensure the socks are not excessively thick and are properly fitted.

Skin irritation

Discontinue use immediately if irritation occurs. Clean the skin and allow it to heal. Consult a healthcare professional if irritation persists. Ensure the protector is clean and dry before each use.

Gel feels sticky or loses adhesion over time

Wash the protector gently with mild soap and cool water. Air dry completely. This often restores its natural stickiness. If adhesion does not return, it may be time to replace the protector.
