I've rated this product 5 stars for the following reasons: + This is good quality tape. + It's thick and high quality. + It is definitely waterproof as it lasts multiple showers. + Each application lasts a long time. I've left this tape on for 3-5 days. + The adhesion is fantastic! + I got the bright pink colour and it's perfect! + Even my doctor asked where I got it...twice! + It helps alleviate my pain and stress on my back. + It's the standard length and width of most tapes out there. Some are longer but not many. I love this tape. I like that the price is really low and it is totally worth it. It lasts for days and days through showers, workouts, outfit changes, etc. I use an H shape on my back and it really helps prevent any extra stress and pain. --------- If you found this review helpful in any way, please click the 'Yes' button below.

I wanted to get this tape to prevent diastasis recti (I'm 5 months pregnant) and to help support my belly from the bottom where it was beginning to round out. The night the tape arrived I began to put it on and three days later it's still stayed on. On the second day I began to feel itchy under the tape but I just rubbed away the itching sensation with the pads of my fingertips. I did notice a difference with this tape as opposed to not wearing it. Whenever I would get up from my bed with the tape, I really did feel like the tape was keeping my abdominals together. It felt pretty much how I felt getting up from the bed before I was pregnant, normal. Also the the strip of tape I placed to support my belly helped tremendously as well. I took it off this morning and yes it's a little bit of work to get off but I'm glad that the tape is of great quality and stays for a while. I'm confident that it would've lasted another day or so on, but since I was itching a lot I took it off. I used soap and water in the bathtub for the majority of it but some of it was really stuck on so I used my belly oil for the rest. There was a lot of redness right after I took it off but it's been 2 hours since and the redness is completely gone. Overall I would recommend this tape, and I will continue to purchase it once I run put of the one I have now. I really do believe that kinesiology tape can help prevent diastasis recti so I would encourage all pregnant women to at least give it a try! Read more

I’ve tried three different kinesiology tapes to help with an Achilles and plantar fasciitis issue. I’m writing this one review and sharing it to all three of those purchases. While KT Tape is more well-known, it was my least favorite of the three. Pros: handy container, convenient pre-cut strips, good variety of colors Cons: doesn’t stay on well when wet, most expensive of the three Second favorite was Physix Gear. I was very happy with it until I tried the final product. Pros: LOTS of colors, soft comfy fabric feel, stays on pretty well when wet, less expensive than KT Cons: strips aren’t pre-cut so you have to have access to scissors or cut the entire roll yourself, edges began to lift in the shower. Favorite of the three was Spartan Tape. I tried it after reading a review like this one. Pros: looks and feels a lot like the Pysix Gear, lots of colors, inexpensive, STAYS ON WHEN WET Cons: uncut roll Since my particular injury requires tape on the bottom of my foot, I’ve struggled with tape lifting during the shower, which means reapplying, which is expensive. With KT I have to remove the entire thing and retape after a shower. With Physix I only had to trim about a half inch of tape that would regularly lift but the rest of the tape was secure. Spartan stayed on. Period. With Spartan’s price-point and durability (and colors 😊) I’m “sticking with” Spartan! Read more
