COTTON KT TAPE

understand that this is an excellent tool for support/protection of sore muscles. it can keep you working out, functioning like normal for a long time (how long depends on the injury). i was without shin splints for decades got them again a few months ago. the tape helped them heal within 3-4 days. but the tape is not a subsitute for PT, and getting the taping right by watching a video can be tricky. still, better than an ace bandage.

Works well, sticks for a few days. Comes with directions for basic use.

Excellent precut strips of high quality kinesio tape. They are so easy to install and really help you healing progress quicker than without them. They stay on very well but also are easy to remove.

It has worked quite well. Only wish the ends would stick on longer.

Ok first off, no one could have ever convinced me that tape would have relieved the pain I've been having in my hip for years. For over a year now it has been non stop and debilitating and causing me massive depression. I bought this tape cuz what did I have to lose, other than a few bucks. I taped my hip before work today and holy Mary mother of Jesus for the 1st time in over a year, I have no pain. None. I cannot believe it!!!! I am in shock! I worked a whole shift and can walk afterward. I feel great! I need to find this in bulk because I'll be taping myself up like an amazon package, everyday for the rest of my life! I've tried bulky braces, heat, cold, stretching, compression, yoga didn't even help and low and behold, tape fixed it. I still can't believe it! Here we are a full week later and I am still pain free. Did you hear me? I AM STILL PAIN FREE!!! This product has given me my life back. Now after working all day at my store, I am able to come home and live a little bit. No more limping to the heating pad and laying about until my next shift. Who would have thought, something as simple as tape, would cure my hip pain. I'm ever sleeping better and I know I am in an overall better mood. If you're contemplating or skeptical, please just try it. For less than $20 you can find out if it will work for you. Of course if you're diabetic or on blood thinners or otherwise unsure, ask your PCP just to be sure it's ok for you to use but, you don't have to live in pain. The days of our only options being pain or narcotics is over. I am so grateful that I found this tape. It's so nice to be able to spend time with my family and do things I enjoy. I want to answer the question I know everyone has, too... No, the pain doesn't get worse when I remove the tape. It has actually helped so much with the inflammation, that when I'm not taped up, I'm not having as much pain as I was before. Edit: 2 months later and it's still working. I still have some breakthrough pain on really rough days but, for the most part, no pain! This tape has given me my life back and I'm still in a shock about it. One thing I will say tho... I believe the breakthrough pain comes from me being much more active. My balance and stamina are so much better that I'm moving more and more. I used to work, come home and move as little as possible. Not anymore. I think once my body gets used to being so much more active, the pain will subside.

This is the best kinesiology tape that I have found to help decrease knee pain and improve stability. I am able to participate in a water fitness class without fearing that the tape will not hold. It will typically hold for 3-4 days. There is no skin irritation and the strip fits well and there is no need to cut into another precut strip.

I wish this was the first and only product I purchased! The adhesive is the best! Other brands basically fall off the same day applied, no staying power. The stretch is light/medium making this more comfortable for long wear.

It does not completely stick, even on clean, dry skin it rolls on the long edge. I purchased the precut cotton version of this tape. It is THIN. I had high hopes that it would stay on at least a couple of days. It certainly won't last the entire day. I thought the cotton version would have less chance of skin irritation, and so far that seems to be ok. I do feel that it has some support, but I have only had it on an hour and it looks all "tattered and raggie". I can't wear shorts with it looking like this. Next time I will look for a sturdier version and cut it to size so there won't be any waste. UPDATE: I have increased to 3 stars from my original 1 star review. I did leave the tapes on, even when it started to roll up on the long edge. I wore pants over and that seemed to help the tape stick more. I did get some relief and support wearing the tape. I showered and the tape held up. The tape lasted 2 full days of wearing. It is still flimsy. But it did NOT irritate my skin at all. It was easy to remove without pulling my skin or leaving tape marks.

Good adhesion even after a bath

This tape is the best that I have tried. Holds for 3-4 days and is waterproof in the shower. Highly recommend.

Fabulous tape which stayed on for a week and didn’t irritate my sensitive skin. Used it on my painful and inflamed knee. I watched a video on how to apply and was far easier to apply than I thought! I have rheumatoid arthritis and suffer flares with various joints. The tape is immensely helpful in self management and allows me to continue to exercise and keep moving during painful flares. For example, my knee was supported and enabled me to use the spin bike and do squats and lunges which I otherwise would not have been able to do without causing injury and increasing inflammation. High recommend.

Le maintien est correct uniquement si la partie est propre et lisse (obligation de raser la partie concernée). Les vidéos sont très claires et permettent de positionner les KT Tape seul.

I had a knee problem from a sports injury. This tape works perfectly in alleviating the nagging pain.
