Great stuff! Lasts for days, extremely comfortable and effective. Crazy low price per square inch.
This stuff works great!!! 5 stars!! Quick update 2015: I just bought my second roll of this stuff. Just as good as the first. The second roll is a bit lighter than the first that I bought over a year ago which is fine since I'm fair skinned. To give you an idea of the durability of this product, I wrapped a bit of this stuff around a harness my dog wears when he runs to prevent chafing in his armpit. My dog has rand (and swum) literally hundreds of miles with this backpack on and has yet to wear the tape off. After all that I washed the backpack the other day and it still survived. I also wrapped a bit of this tape around a rear bike light and that also lasted and lasted and lasted..... Pre 2015: I have used this tape for a variety of purposes: to "sports" tape my feet for support (due to tendonitis/joint pain), to cover a highly infectious skin rash, to protect various recently healed wounds from sun damage, and to hold scar-reducing patches on my skin for days at a time, and even to hold a few broken objects around the house together for long periods of time. It was great for all of these purposes. Although it's porous nature does not make it perfect for covering skin infections to prevent their spread, it did seem to perform admirably even for covering molluscum warts. Note also that this stuff + gauze would make a great economical bandaid or emergency splint, and as a person who enjoys outdoor adventures I have added some to my first aid kit. I'm Caucasion, so the beige color was great for not being too obvious or weird looking against my skin. I searched around Amazon for quite some time to find the right sports tape, and I highly recommend this stuff for both price and quality reasons. It is porous and not designed to keep water *out*, so just accept that; also note that it only stretches in the longitudinal direction, per design, and that you will definitely need a scissors (or in a pinch, a finely honed knife blade) to do a good job cutting it. Also note that it has a backer, which actually makes it great for cutting into squares of just the right size. It did sometimes start peeling at corners, though a "professional" application would involve rounding off such corners to prevent this very phenomenon. In cases where it did peel at corners, it did occasionally leave minor residue on the skin consisting of dirt+glue for a day or so, but definitely nothing to write home about. Once again, great stuff. Wayyyy more comfortable to wear than normal sports tape. Buy it! Read more
