THERABAND Kinesiology Tape, BPink/White, 1 Roll, with XactStretch Indicators, Long-Lasting Athletic Tape for Shoulder, Back & Knee, Latex-Free & Water Resistant for Men and Women, Pre-Cut

I wish I understood the science behind this stuff, but I don't. I have a wonky hip and a wonky knee. I live really close to Disney, but sometimes walking around the park is killer on my joints and just unbearable. So, I've learned to tape my hip and knee before I go and this stuff saves my life every time! Again...no clue HOW it works, but it just does. I'm not 100% pain free, but pretty darn close, and it makes walking a lot more bearable. It stays on pretty well too, through Florida sweat and those pesky rain storms. I'd highly recommend this if you're on the fence. Plus, the color is great. I mean, if I'm going to be wearing tape around the park, might as well make it pretty, am I right?

Works great

I actually like theses. Because of the very curved edge I don’t find the, pulling up when I wear my capris. Also my sister can use these without getting an allergic reaction.

To start, this is an AMAZING product. (Tips for application & removal @ the end) I am currently an occupational therapy graduate student and have previously used KT tape for my knee and wrist in treatment. I actually like this tape MORE than the original KT tape brand. TheraBand is slightly thinner but doesn't lack on adhesion. I have fairly avg skin sensitivity and while it isn't super comfortable to take off (like any other KT tape) my skin is back to normal within 30 minutes. The hexagons are also super helpful for application and applying the correct stretch! It also makes it much easier for you to tell someone else how to correctly apply it to an area you may not be able to reach.*****TIPS & TRICKS******Prior to application, make sure to remove hair from the area about 3 hours before and refrain from any perfume or lotion. (instructions say 1 hour, earlier will only help with skin sensitivity)*Use the guiding lines on the back to cut strips thinner or smaller (round edges on the cut end to reduce the corners rolling up)*Pay attention to the hexagons for stretch (key is on the back of every piece)*I only leave mine on for 3 days and allow my skin at least 2 days to breathe in between uses*When removing, DO NOT RIP, pull slowly and keep skin tight. Allow tape to soak prior to removal. Dawn dish soap actually has worked best for me to cut through the adhesive.*If using a large amount or removal is very painful, cut off the chunk that is removed and give your skin a break for a bit!

After an auto accident caused carpal tunnel in my thumb and wrist, I've used this to relieve the pain and weird numbness. It sticks to the skin really well, until it gets wet. Once it gets wet it quits sticking pretty much immediately, but I'm ok with it because it makes removal easy. My sensitive skin doesn't like adhesives, but this doesn't bother me at all even when I wear it for 12+ hours. I did notice the black/gray color leaves this weird linty residue on everything, but no issues like that at all with the red/black......plus the red/black reminds me of Spiderman lol. Definitely recommend for my fellow sensitive skin people out there!!!!

This tape really does the job. Physical therapist puts it on and 2 days later it’s falling off. So I went and bought my own tape (in pink) and do it myself. The tape is durable and does the job.

I have been using this brand for a year. This batch doesn’t have enough adhesive. Can’t keep it on my foot. The slightest hint of wetness it’s just flopping. Doesn’t stand a chance of surviving a shower either.

My first impression was that this was a cheaper version of KT Tape (aside from being 2/3 the cost), lower quality etc. It is stiffer. This initial quality turns out to have positive for certain body parts which makes it less versatile but better for some injuries. I like it for lateral support for some joint areas, very specific angles and not all parts. This is a personal preference. I do not find it as useful for a wide spectrum of uses, but its pretty awesome for places like my feet/ankles and fingers which go through repeated flex but benefit from the rigidity. I do not find it good for limbs because of the soft tissue where the rigidity causes discomfort. For the ankles and fingers, i find it more helpful than ordinary KT Tape. It is not as waterproof as KT Tape, but it withstood a single shower, and i wore it for 2-days and found it good for foot/ankle strain and finger sprain, but not for golf elbow.
