Levotape Kinesiology Tape Pink - 5m x 5cm - 1 Roll | Elastic Muscle Support Tape for Exercise, Sports & Injury Recovery, Breathable & Latex Free, Water Resistant

...well don't be. I read many review and looked at quite a few different tapes and watched videos on YouTube. I finally took the plunge and ordered this tape after 'reading between the lines of other reviews, good, bad and indifferent. It was a good choice.I needed this tape to help with my Lateral Collateral Ligament on the outside of my right knee. Using a Physio video on YouTube, I cut the tape and applied it as instructed. They gave a tip that once applied to your skin, to rub the tape with the waxed side of the backing strip to warm the adhesive and therefore giving better sticking power to the tape on your skin. I found this worked really well and despite showering and wearing legging, the tape basically stayed in place for a week and only then started to come off when an edge started to curl and rubbed on the sheets. It does what they describe for this tape and it worked well on my ligament.I also started to get pains in the bottom of my left foot and found that I had the symptoms of Plantar Fasciitis which is very painful. I also saw a YouTube video about this and thought that I would try putting the tape on the sole of my foot just before the heel, to see if that helped...and did it? Yes it was an immediate relief. The pain didn't go away completely, about 90%. I used the tape on both [knee and foot] for over a month/6 weeks until the symptoms' started to subside and I still have tape left.All in all I can recommend this tape to do what is claimed. As long as you remember to warm the tape by rubbing the backing strip vigorously over it, especially the edges, then it will stick well and stay put.

This is the tape my physio uses and it is great value for money. I definitely wouldn't buy a more expensive one. I have been using it for shin splints and find it works well and relieves the pain making exercise more comfortable. If you round off the corners it stays stuck for around 4 days (with 2 showers per day). I recommend giving it a quick blast with a hairdryer after showering as this makes it stick better and also makes it more comfortable not having a cold wet leg! I love the bright colour but they also sell it in a more subtle skin colour if bright pink isn't for you! I would recommend this and definitely buy this again!

The tape is really good and stays in place for days..I was a little worried as it's very reasonably priced but it's very good..I received it very quicky in Spain so a great service..

Got this for my subluxations, dislocation and pain due to EDS hypermobility type.What I like about the product is that it is good quality, sticks well though it does lose its stickiness after 2-3 days at the edges. It is soft and does not irritate the skin, which is a major plus point for me, as my skin is very sensitive and gets irritated very quickly. It is easy to apply and can be used in place of a brace at times. I have used it for up to a week at times, provided I manage to shower carefully.However, it does nothing for my pain so that was a disappointment.

I suffer from arthritis and I also had dislocated my knee years ago and it healed improperly, now both of this conditions cause pain when I walk too much. I can't run, cycle etc. My doctor suggested a knee brace which had huge padding to support the knee. It was quite uncomfortable as it was sliding down and I had to pull it up every 10 min or so. Also I couldn't wear jeans because they didn't fit over the knee brace, even the skirts and dresses were clinging on it especially if it's windy. Anyway I'm so happy to find this as it is so discreet, I can even wear skinny jeans with this. It supports my knee even better than the knee brace as it stands still. Some people say it's painful to take it off. If you rub over the tape before you pull it, it doesn't hurt. Rub as you pull! If you're a guy it might be painful on legs with all that hair though.

There is a definite art to putting this stuff on. My physio used a similar product on me but I havent been able to replicate the way she applied her product and hers had a different structure. have used it for tendon sports injuries since & found that it did give support to an injured thumb & finger. Watched all the videos about how to apply.

Great colour but doesnt remain sticky after ive creamed my body. some imporvements to be made here. helpes alot with the pain my arches

Delivered in 48hrs, applied to poorly badly wrenched ankle in a figure of 8 single thickness. So there are some points there that are likely to dislodge tape - socks, shoes all catch the foot arch and foot flexing too. This tape has stayed put for 2 days now and no sign of it drifting or coming loose, necessary action on the tissues still active. Foot action improved instantly so has a chance of healing now. And associated leg muscle damage can come back into alignment. Gets wet in the shower but if you wrap a towel round for a few minutes it dries quickly. Highly recommended, UK based supplier. Looks good in open sandals! And pink has a lovely energy to work with too!

Sticks better than the KT Tape. I wore this Levotape on my arm on an 80 degree day and never even got heat rash.
