["Q: I have a corn on the tip of my toe with a gel sleeve help?","A: Usually no. Sleeves protect the top at the knuckle /sides of a hammer toe, not the tip. For tip pain/corns, use a toe cap or crest pad (to lift the tip off the shoe)","Q: How long will the gel sleeve last?","A: Silipos gel is very durable and can last for months if not a year. Being careful not to overstretch while applying the sleeve can prolong it's lifespan. ","Q: My gel sleeve feels warm or sweaty—is that normal?","A: Yes. gel is occlusive. Sprinkle a little talcum powder, air-dry the cap daily. If skin is becoming macerated, decrease time of use during the day and be sure to remove at bed time. ","Q: How do I pick the right size for toe sleeve?","A: Measure the circumference of the painful toe at the widest point and match to the size chart. If between sizes, go up. Too small = pressure/ feeling tight ; too big = rotation/rubbing. ","Q: How long can I wear pads each day? ","A: Usually they can be worn most of the day without a problem. But to start with 1–2 hours and increase as tolerated. Remove daily to inspect skin. If you feel numbness, tingling, or new pain, stop and refit. If issue continues , stop using and contact your doctor/ healthcare provider."]
