KT Tape, Pro Synthetic Kinesiology Athletic Tape, 20 Count, 10” Precut Strips

I work on my feet in a large theme park on concrete all day. I have plantar fasciitis in my left foot and arthritis in my right knee. This makes standing and getting around a little difficult. I started seeing Guests in the park with this very colorful tape on their knees. I started to do a little research. I asked a couple of Guests if the tape really works, each time I got a resounding, YES! Finally, I gave it a shot. Today was my first day trying the tape. I watched the video this morning on You Tube for my knew and my foot. I have to say, I LOVE IT! I actually walked around today with a real smile on my face! I havent done that in months. 1 piece of tape did start to curl. Ill chalk it up to operator error. It is my first time. Even if it isnt my fault, I dont care. I still have some pain, but nothing like yesterday, or the day before, etc. I feel so much better! This is a God send. It feels like Im wearing a knee brace, but its not too tight and it doesnt slip. This is well worth the money, even if I have to reapply it everyday, which I dont expect. I really do love it. Ill update this review if anything changes. Get some. Thats all I have to say!

Ease of putting it on. Great instructions and display. 100% true about reducing swelling and pain. I got this for my knee and was able to keep Irvin for a couple of days even after showering did not come off. Easy to get off, I did not use anything to remove vitamins. Highly recommend this product if you have knee problems

Can go the pool without this for my knee

This tape is not like the one given at Physical therapy. Its not that sticky and falls off when it gets wet.

Arrived next day which was awesome! It didn’t stick all that well to me, which is a bummer. I was hoping to get a couple days out of it but it started rolling on my back the day it was placed after activity. I do sweat a lot so that may be part of the problem. It also made my skin super dry and itchy so be wary of that if you have sensitive skin!

This works good for sore knees, elbows, back, or wrist!

I purchased this for support during recovery from an issue with patellar tendons and ligaments. I purchased the first couple of rolls from a local big-box discount store for $20 each. Then I began purchasing it on Amazon for $15-16. All my purchases were for KT Pro, not the original KT tape, so I cant make a comparison as some other reviewers have. The tape delivers what it promises. Its elasticity makes it a good choice for a variety of applications because the tension of the tape can be varied as it is applied, something that is harder to do with a standard athletic wrap. In terms of its waterproof capability, it does last through showers, but will last longer if care is taken not to directly blast it with the shower stream. The online video was very helpful in learning how to properly apply the tape for my particular use. Typically, I get several days of use from an application using the tape I purchased from Amazon. The tape I purchased locally was more prone to peeling off though; Im hypothesizing that perhaps it had been on the shelf in the store for some time or had been exposed to abnormal heat during shipment to the store. So I think theres probably some benefit from purchasing from a high-volume supplier such as Amazon so the adhesive is fresh. As with any tape, its important to clean oils and dirt from the area youre taping. I used alcohol swab pads for this, but hydrogen peroxide on a cotton ball would work just as well. If you clean it well before application, the tape adheres much better. Also, if you cut the strips in half, remember to round off the square corners that result from cutting; this keeps the tape from peeling up on the corners. All in all, a very good product.

I have bone spurs and use the tape to support one arch. This pro tape works great and lasts up to 6 days for me. I highly recommend it.

Product sticks well to skin if applied with appropriate pressure. Easy to use. Directions are in the box or can be found on YouTube.
