I LOVE this product! It’s almost like a Coban of sorts, and is very useful. I tend to have difficulty with prewrap on my ankle, and I’ve noticed this holds and works so much better. Tape adheres to it very well and doesn’t fall apart. Definitely worth it if you are in athletics and need a little more support. Read more
This is a great product and cheaper than at the grocery store. My only complaint is that it does not cut/tear well and you usually need to use your teeth (which I hate to do) or a scissor/knife. It does not stick to arms (or hairy arms!) and it will stick to itself quite well. Does not stick to clothing. I use this as a pre-wrap and for extra support. Great product! Read more
I purchased six rolls of this Powerflex 2 inch tape which my wife uses to wrap my big toe because I recently had surgery on that toe and my doctor used another brand of flexible tape to wrap it in after surgery. We purchased a single roll of another brand of tape and it was expensive, so I went online and also searched on Amazon where I found a better product at a lower price than the brand of tape my doctor uses. Most reviewers rated the Powerflex tape higher than the other brands and I would have to agree. It is easy to cut, easy to wrap and stays in place until you take it off. it also comes in a variety of colors. I would recommend this product to anyone who needs a good athletic tape or one for other uses. Read more
Excelente producto, relación precio calidad buena Read more
I primarily use this as vet wrap, for my dogs. The product needs to adhere to itself, power flex does this very well. Makes a durable dressing Read more
I use a decent amount of tape for wrist support and to protect my thumbs when lifting, especially with the nagging wrist pain I've had for the last couple of months. That's why I was looking for a better way to buy tape than just the single rolls at the store. While I was researching, I came across the Powerflex Stretch Athletic Tape. When I first read that the tape sticks not to your skin but to itself, I had three thoughts. 1. That's some voodoo magic 2. How well can that actually work? 3. That would eliminate the possibility of me getting a bald spot right on my wrists! After going through about 3 rolls of this stuff I feel amply experienced to give my thoughts. Support - 5/5 The first thing I was looking for in this tape was wrist support. The Powerflex tape is decently stretchy, but stays tight on the wrists with a good wrap. I was worried that, if the tape did stretch a lot, it would contract and expand during the lifts, causing the tape to either cut off my blood flow, or slip loose. I didn't experience either of these problems. Flexibility of Use - 3/5 Well the tape definitely sticks to itself, so that was a pretty cool suprise. I was actually a bit scared pulling it off the first time, as I have had some bad experience with some very sticky tape pulling out a massive amount of hair, but I was worried for nothing. The Powerflex Tape performs as advertised, and leaves your precious skin and hair untouched. However, this makes it difficult to use in various scenarios. Generally, this tape can only be used as a wrap. So, if you use it as I do, to wrap it around your thumbs and wrists, it's perfect. However, this product can work really well in tandem with a normal sports tape (I recommend Coach Sports Tape). The Powerflex also doesn't tear very well which again limits it's flexibility. It can't be used for small finger guards, as it's too thick for that. Also, it can be difficult to tear on your own if you are wrapping a wrist. On one of the rolls I experienced no problem with getting a clean tear, but the other two rolls have given me trouble. Durability - 4/5 Because of the nature of the tape, and the fact that it sticks to itself, it can be difficult to get a good, tight wrist wrap on your own. This is because one full rotation needs to be completed around the wrist before the tape can stick to itself. Also, because the Powerflex Tape can be difficult to tear, if you try and rip the tape for yourself while attached to your wrist, it can start to bunch up and lose some effectiveness (in a similar way to normal tape when the adhesive sides contact each other). However, all of these issues can be completely avoided with a partner helping you wrap. I have had the issue of the final wrap coming loose during a workout, but the majority of the tape stayed secure all the same. Overall - 4/5 Use this tape for larger wraps, not small patches. If wrapping your wrists, use a partner if possible. If you wish to kep the hair on your skin, and not worry about pulling it out everytime you set a wrap, look no further. Good product, good value (the rolls are pretty large). Read more
I play a lot of softball and have been taping up my wrists for years. In the process, I'd go through countless rolls of athletic tape and often dealt with the tape coming unraveled mid-game. Then I discovered Powerflex and this stuff is the bomb (note: are people still saying "the bomb" or is that done?). It sticks to itself and doesn't come undone. It's that simple. You don't need to use extra tape to keep it wrapped and attached. Once you stick it, it's there until you unwrap it or cut it off. It stays tight and provides the support and compression I'm looking for when I play. It costs a little more than regular athletic tape, but you also waste decidedly less of it and it works far better. If you buy it in bulk, it's actually a pretty good deal. Buying it by the roll can be way too expensive. That is pretty much my only complaint. Read more
This tape is very useful for a variety of different applications. The quality of this brand is excellent and it is just as described. I am sensitive to some adhesives used in typical adhesive bandages, so this product is a very convenient way for me to avoid using those types of bandages on my arms and legs. In addition to wound care, however, we have found other uses for this product. I have used little strips to wrap around spools of thread to keep the loose ends of thread from tangling. This order was for gray tape that is used to cover an area on my son's silver tuba where the finish has worn away from many years of handling. Every home should have a roll of this stuff around.
