This is the best tape I've tried. I am a stomach sleeper and wake up with a bunch of wrinkles. This tape keeps my skin from folding. It's very comfortable and very flexible. It stays on without rolling and without any skin irritation or damage. I put it on top of oil and it still sticks. You need to activate the glue by rubbing the tape for a few seconds. And don't over stretch it especially the ends. It comes off very easily but you do have to wet it as with any kinesio tape. It's very effective on sore neck muscles also. I love all the bright colors! I highly recommend it. Read more
I am a certified massage therapist with hyper mobility syndrome (flexible). Because of my job and hyper mobility I am prone to injuries like tendinitis. I've tried other brands and have to replace the kinesiology tape on my hand after each session. I wear a glove to protect the tape and prevent it from coming in contact with clients. I wash my hands with the glove on, discard glove, and hand sanitizer after each client. This tape lasts me all day. All kinesiology tape i have tried does not last when it gets wet. But this one doesn't get wet because of the gloves and lasts for each work day. As opposed to any others I've tried. They are more expensive and come off during the session, sometimes 5 minutes in. I love the fact that it is durable and when I am ready to take it off it does not damage my skin. It is a great support to my physical health and my wallet. Only tape I will work with. It also works great on my knees and will generally last 2 days even after a shower. Read more
Have been using K-Tape off & on for decades since I teach fitness classes and things get hurt sometimes. Found OK Tape on Amazon a few years ago and am very impressed with value and durability. I love the variety of colors and buy double rolls to measure and cut to fit my needs. I apply it myself and have lots of practice: this tape is less rigid and easy to apply. I can often wear thru several showers (trimming ends as they lift and using a cool blow dryer to keep tape anchored). I have had more issues with it being stuck on too well rather than lifting, but it rarely lifts off when I’m sweating. I consider that a Win. For removal from sensitive skin take a warm shower, use a warm blow dryer or rub baby oil (olive oil or PAM cooking spray) to soften adhesive. Read more
Read a number of reviews with people complaining about rashes and residue after peeling the tape. Every individual's experience is different, and I did have concerns based on some of the negative/average reviews. I do have sensitive skin and will get rashes after long usage of surgical tapes or pain patches. My legs are hairy (as pictured) and I have normal to dry skin on my legs. I started taping my knee for soccer since I'm playing more often. I went with the red colored tape, since someone had reviewed the red to be better at staying in place than the beige (I bought the beige tape also but haven't tried it). I taped my knee based on the video they had posted for taping the knee (two V-shaped strips/take a strip and cut it in the middle, plus supporting strips at the ends; I did cut/trimmed the corners to be rounded). I taped on Saturday morning, played soccer and took a shower a few hours later. The tape started to peel off my skin in some areas. I had to go to an early dinner Saturday, so I decided to test the tapes by wearing Jeans (Levi's 505). I was seated mostly; the dinner was about 3 hours. There was more peeling due to the jeans. Not a fair test but needed to see what would happen if I ever needed to do such a thing. Sunday morning picture (on the carpeted stairs) included along with 2 pictures after the Sunday game. Tape came off rather easily without leaving any residue or pulling my hair out. Support for the knee was okay; I'll probably switch to a different style of taping to support the patella. I didn't get a rash after one use, usually my rash comes on after multiple long term uses at the same area (red, itchy and scaly skin). Based on my experience, for single day/event usage this tape works for me. The tape does start to peel after use (due to humidity, sweat and wet grass) and shower. I don't plan on using skin cleansers to clean my leg prior to applying the tape every time, shave my legs or wear the tape for more than 28 hours max (if I do a Saturday and Sunday game), so I can't say too much about long term use of the tape. If it hadn't peeled, I would have given it a higher rating!! Read more
Best value, super comfortable, great quality and it stays on!!! Works great. May even be better than the big brand one. Read more
I use this for mouth tape when I sleep. It's WAY cheaper than the pre-cut mouth tape on the market. I just measure out the length I need. I don't like not having the ability to talk or get a drink when wearing mouth tape. Makes me feel a bit claustrophobic. So I use a rotary cutter for fabric (my mom sews a lot) to cut a small slit in the middle for my mouth. I saw other reviews that said the tape doesn't stick, and I don't agree at all! Of course, if you put any kind of lotion or cream on your face/mouth before you put it on, it's going to affect that. But otherwise, this stuff STICKS!!!! Be careful when removing it. I've found that getting it wet can help if it sticks too much. Also, I'm female, so not sure if this would be comfortable for men with facial hair. I've purchased this several times, and I can get about 70-75 mouth strips from 1 roll. WAY better price point than the pre-cut mouth tape you can buy. Just takes a few minutes to cut the strips to your liking. Highly recommend! Read more
I used it for one day. When I was removing it from the shower, some of my skin also came out. I was also being very gentle, but it still happened. I don’t know if I had an allergy reaction or what. But I definitely won’t use it again. Read more
