OK TAPE Kinesiology Tape, Regular Original Cotton Elastic Athletic Tape for Support and Recovery, Sports Tape, 2in×16.4ft Uncut Roll - Beige

I got this because I've been having knee issues due to an effusion. I did not think some fabric tape would do anything, so I went for OK Tape because it was a lot less than the more popular KT Tape. My knee honestly feels much better and more stable when I'm wearing kinesiology tape! I've since tried KT and this brand is actually better. It lasts longer, is way less expensive, and does the exact same thing! This brand frays a little bit around the edges and does leave some residue when removing, but it's not a huge issue for me. OK is pretty strong and gave me little bit of bruising when I removed it too early (like within the first day). Removal is a lot gentler after wearing it for 2-3 days and showers! I've accidentally placed the tape wrong and gotten it stuck to itself, and it still lasted for days after moving the tape. I was a little bit worried I would get a bad reaction because the description says it uses " acrylic glue based medical grade adhesive" and I suspect I may have an acrylate allergy from gel nails, but my skin has not gotten itchy, blisters, etc.

Helpful for small facial muscles with CP because you can use them like weights if you apply them in the opposite direction of the muscle but the adhesive in this brand is too strong it rips my skin off. Skin grows back but its not the best

I’ve been using this kinesiology tape for a few weeks now, and I’m really impressed with how well it performs. The adhesive is strong enough to stay in place through workouts, showers, and long days, yet it doesn’t irritate my skin when I remove it. It provides great support for my muscles and joints without restricting movement, which makes it ideal for both exercise and daily activities.

Of off all the kinesiology tapes I've tried, I feel that this is a good value for the price if you're looking for lighter support. It has a fairly decent stick. It will stay on for 2-3 days if you use best application practices (watch some PT videos to see demonstrations of good tape handling and application techniques). Ideally apply it to clean skin, don't touch the sticky side, but the paper backing. Once it's on, keep it from rubbing against fabric and other stuff too much. It's not so sticky that it takes off a ton skin removing it, so it's practical if you're looking to take it off and reapply every couple or few days. If your skin is sensitive or thinner, you can notice some irritation, so take it off carefully and give your skin time to regrow before needing to remove more. You might try some oil or lotion and slowly work the edges (like using peanut butter to get gum out of hair), but you'll want to wash that well off before applying more tape. It's a thinner fabric, so offers less support than a thicker fabric tape, but I notice some helpful support. I've found this to be good when I'm past the worst of an injury, but I want light support getting back into full activities. I would use a different, thicker and more supportive tape for a fresh injury or greater support. You can double it up, or stagger overlay to increase support. That isn't as ideal as one well placed strip because the tape sticks better to clean dry, skin than to itself. It has 2" marking block guides on the back for easily determining cut length.

I've been using this K tape for an extended period, dating back to my days as a Division One athlete, and it has consistently proven itself as a go-to solution for various needs. Recently, during pregnancy, I relied on this tape for both my elbow and carpal tunnel issues, and once again, it delivered outstanding results. One of the standout features of this K tape is its versatility. Unlike pre-cut tapes, this roll allows you to customize the size according to your specific requirements. Whether you're addressing a small area or need a longer strip for comprehensive support, the flexibility to cut to any size is a game-changer. Durability is another key factor that sets this tape apart. It stayed on securely throughout various activities, and I never experienced any issues with it peeling off prematurely. The adhesive is reliable without being overly aggressive, striking the perfect balance for long-lasting wear without causing discomfort during removal. The effectiveness of the tape in providing support and relief is truly commendable. During pregnancy, when I needed extra joint support, and back in my athletic days dealing with various injuries, this K tape consistently offered the right level of support without hindering movement. In summary, if you're looking for a versatile, reliable, and long-lasting K tape, this product is a standout choice. Its ability to adhere well, stay in place, and accommodate custom sizing makes it a staple in my health and wellness toolkit. Whether you're an athlete, expectant mother, or simply seeking reliable joint support, this K tape is a winner. Highly recommended!

Im giving 3 starys because I only used it once because i got an allergic reaction to the adhesive and got a masive rash, i was pregnant when i used it so i put it on to help support the weight of my belly , It did worked the way it was supposed to and gave me good support , the color was bright , it work well for pain and discomfort for the weight but did not work well for my skin, it was easy to put on but very difficult to remove, I had to soak it in water and use coconut oil and it still tore some of the skin up with it , the overall design would work well for someone who doesn't have sensitive skin, but I would use precautions maybe put on a small strip before using a lot to make sure you dint have a reaction and im not sure how to easily remove this from your skin

Great quality! Super comfortable to wear and last for a long time. I was using it for some Elbow pain I’ve been dealing with. It didn’t completely eliminate the pain but gave me some relief in addition to providing some stability.

excellent tape, just as good as the expensive brands

Good value alternative to KT tape. Stick on reasonable well - will survive sweat and a shower or two if applied about couple hours in advance.

Trotz langem Tragen kaum Rückstände auf der Haut,hält aber trotzdem sehr gut auch bei Nässe .

Bien

I just started using kinesiology tape for my plantar fasciitis and OK tape works really well.. it seems to stick better than the brand I purchased at our local drug store. I bought the purple because it was drastically reduced and I had never used this brand before, so I wanted to try it out. Would I buy this brand again, yes, in a heartbeat!

Il OK TAPE kinesiologico 5 cm x 5 m è un ottimo nastro terapeutico: elastico, resistente e confortevole sulla pelle. Una volta provato, ho apprezzato la buona adesività, la flessibilità che segue bene i movimenti e il fatto che sia senza lattice, quindi adatto anche a pelli sensibili. Purtroppo ho dovuto restituirlo esclusivamente per un ritardo nella consegna, in quanto mi serviva con urgenza e sono stato costretto ad acquistarlo in un negozio fisico. Il reso non è quindi legato alla qualità del prodotto, che è assolutamente valida. Se non si hanno problemi di tempistiche, è un tape kinesiologico affidabile e ben fatto, che consiglio senza esitazioni.
