Therapist’s Choice® Kinesiology Tape Bulk Roll (Beige)

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!

I play tennis 5-7 days a week. Fast approaching the age of 60, my joints are needing a lot of extra support. Had surgery on my left knee a couple of years ago to repair torn meniscus and clean out some chondrocytes, started to feel a little "tweekie" again so decided to try some KTape which I purchased at my local drug store for @ $20.00 for 20 pre cut strips. First tried the cotton strips...not good for sweaty skin, came off during play :-[ then I purchased the polyester tape which was wonderful and stayed on during and after play (I could even shower and leave the tape in place for the next day!) BUT I was spending a small fortune on drug store TAPE!!! I read the previous reviews stating the great sticking power of this tape, they are 100% accurate. The supportive properties are excellent (no more knee tweek!) and showering with the tape is not a problem, this stuff sticks! So glad I found this distributor! Excellent price, EXCELLENT PRODUCT, fast shipping! GREAT VALUE!!! I figure I got 4 X's the product for 1/2 the price...can't beat that. Definitely will be a returning customer. Thanks Clinical Health Services!

Like many trans/non-binary people I was put onto this tape for being a cheep alternative to trans-tape and this is just that. It is the only tape that I've tried thus far that I can tolerate for more than a day at a time which definitely makes it worth the money. It isn't super sticky but that has it's pros and cons as well. It can last me about 4 days and that's with working out and showering so I guess it is pretty impressive. But it is definitely falling off on some parts and it does get trimmed. Also because it isn't super sticky- it doesn't rip off my skin like other tapes that I've tried as well.

The stickiness is really not that great. The second you put it on, the edges refuse to stay stuck to the skin. This leaves the tape to flop around and rub on the skin, creating some blisters which hurt bad. I don’t have this problem with the real stuff but I guess you get what you pay for. It does work to hold stuff in place, but it’s not very durable, even with perfectly clean skin.

Compré este producto pero no pasó mucho para sentir incomodidad, al retirarlo de forma "segura" no hizo más que provocarme ampollas en la zona empleada, tengo más de 45 cicatrices debido a ello.

great alternative to name brand. be very, very careful when removing skin if you are not letting it stay on til the bitter end this is not like a band aid so if you just rip it off you will remove skin guaranteed. soak it to death and take it slow. I leave it one as long as i can because it helps hold my various injured areas together. this also demonstrates why the bulk size and ability to custom cut are so important rather than precut strips.

trans man here. i bought this as a cheaper alternative to TransTape brand since its fairly expensive and shipping takes a while. This product however came in three days and is much cheaper. It is less stretchy and sticky than TransTape but still works to bind. It peels very nicely too -- i didnt use any oil and it didnt take any skin with it. They dont come with nip guards so you have to use ones you already have or bandaids. I would recommend the actual TransTape brand, however if youre on a budget this will work.

Pretty sticky, not too unlike K-tape or "branded" ones
