Tips: -This K TAPE is a synthetic brand which has a better hold and more/different layers integrated into the weave which gives a better support/hold. -Make sure that you do clean your skin prior to application, an alcohol pad will help remove any skin oils to help improve the adhesion of the tape. -If you have sensitive skin (or want to keep the tape in place longer) please look into purchasing skin prep to be used under this tape-after you alcohol swab the skin. It is easily found on amazon by searching skin prep (smith and nephew have best product). Skin prep will put a very thin protective silicon layer between your skin and the tape which protects your skin as well as improving the hold of the tape. (I was able to get an extra day or two out of it with this) -To remove tape put some baby oil on a cotton ball and start to peel the end the tape back then place the cotton ball on the skin and rub as you're pulling the K TAPE away from your skin slowly. This will easily help the tape remove and not damage skin as badly, the oil helps dissolve the bond to your skin. -Theraband has hexagon imprints which work perfectly for you to gauge the amount of stretch you are using when applying this tape. This is important as there are different qualities with different stretches. -There are thousands of videos out there on the application of this tape, typically research the company name and the joint or muscle/tendon you are trying to stabilize and they will pop up. This tape is AMAZING. I have already purchased a second and third time. Love that you can see easily how much you are stretching it, and its adhesion time compared to other brands is far superior! It stays on for 5 to 6 days with the tips I listed above. (Please hit helpful if this helped you in anyway?? Thanks!!) Read more
I’ve used a lot of k-tape. Initially, I was a little skeptical because of the price. But if you want tape you don’t have to replace daily, this is your solution. Admittedly, my usage for it this time is non-traditional. I’m doing tattoo removal and it requires you to keep the treatment area completely out of sunlight for two weeks post-treatment. I love how well this adheres to the skin, because I don’t have to swap it out every day. In fact, it was still hanging on well a few days later when I was ready to take it off. The rounded edges work much better, as they don’t peel up as easily. I will definitely keep getting this brand of k-tape. Read more
It arrived on time, and I like the tape, but the first few pieces were not as sticky as the rest. (Maybe an older roll) but it’s still good enough to use for my physical therapy sessions and to help with the pain and discomfort. Read more
I bought this brand because it was what the PT used on me. Easy to use and I can tape my arm and leave it for 4 to 5 days. It’s much easier and less painful to remove in the shower. It can leave some residue behind after removal but I just use some rubbing alcohol to remove the adhesive residue. Will buy again. Read more

It works like it should for tennis elbow, but I'm allergic to the adhesive in this brand. I've used other brands for 3 days and removed them with no issues. This brand makes my arm itch like crazy. A day into wearing it, I took it off and it pulled off the top layer of skin on my arm. I had squiggly lines for 3 weeks while it healed. Tried it a second time in a different color, just in case it was the tan color only. Blue did the same. I had to take it off 3 hours later because I became itchy again. This time, I soaked my the tape in rubbing alcohol to remove it. **My advice is before using, test a small piece on your skin for a day and remove it with isopropyl alcohol** Read more
This stuff was definitely as expected. If you've used kinesiology tape before you know what it's like. But you definitely need to remove with alcohol adhesive is very sticky. But it's definitely a great option especially for the price Read more
