3M Micropore Surgical Tape, 2.5cm x 5m

It's Micropore tape, always excellent.... as used in hospitals etc

It’s sticky but not too sticky, It’s tape….on a rollSo for not so sticky but sticky enough tape this is greatYou should buy some

As a runner and triathlete I learned that increasing distances to around 10km would lead to chafed nipples. A bit of Googling and I learned that jogger's nipple was a recognised condition, maybe only in the eyes of the running community and not the medical one, almost exclusively male as ladies have some protection from their sports bras. Thankfully mine never reached bleeding stage but they're certainly not comfortable.Plasters did the trick for me but seriously pulled hairs on removal, a friend finds plasters simply slip when sweaty. Google suggested micropore tape which I'd never heard of, but obviously Amazon have. This stuff solves the problem for me and is a lot easier to remove than plasters.You can get 2.5cm wide tape as well which is slightly cheaper but might not quite cover one's nipples, the 5cm wide variety ought to for virtually all males.There appear to be limitations though, I did my first half-marathon last year and there was still some chafing by the end of the longer distance, anyone looking to do further than that might want to look at alternative options. Now that I am aware of micropore tape and how it might benefit me, I did spot some (2.5cm) in Sainsburys recently, priced at under a pound so you might be able to get this cheaper elsewhere along with your groceries. It's hardly a pricey purchase here though given delivery is included and it looks as though mine will last me close to a year before I need to get any more.

Good value

Excellent service

Good old fashioned Micropore tape …great for sticking over a plaster or a light dressing …always handy to have in your bathroom cabinet 🗄️

Ordered 2 rolls only 1 arrived. Waiting for supplier to respond to confirm if another is on the way separately or if I am not getting 2nd one (was stock at time of placing the order) and I'm not being charged for 2.Tape is genuine and in the original box and will do the job required. Just really disappointed I didn't get the full order after having arrived a day later than specified and due to timescales had to buy an alternative locally as was needed.

Very strong and adhesive
