Best way to bandage a blister?

I bought new shoes and through my own dumbassery, I got a wicked blister. I let it sit for 2 days (and popped it) before I tried again, but even with putting a bandaid on it (and of course, wearing socks), it still hurts. Is there a better way to bandage it so that it doesn't hurt as much? I really don't want to wait the week or two it would take to fully heal. Or am I SOL?
For what it's worth, I am walking 3.5 miles in the morning. It starts bugging me within the first mile.
Thanks in advance!

Moleskin or Band-aid makes blister pads that really work well. For future reference, put a bit of body-glide on before you go out where you tend to get blisters, and you won't get them!0

Make sure when you're not wearing shoes let air get to it, it will help it heal faster! Mole-skin definitely helps, I've always used that!0

I've been the same way, been walking the track where my son has football practice a couple of times a week, usually 4-6 rounds at .8 miles per go-round, and I have some mad painful blisters going on. Going to give it a rest for a week and let them heal up I think.0
