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

Once I figured out how to place the tape, how much tension was needed, and remembered to use alcohol to prep my skin (first), I felt better than I have in a long time. Its difficult to put the tape on by yourself, but I can do it! My knees and low back felt so much better. KT Tape Pro stays on my skin for as long as 2 weeks. Im desperate to relieve my pain, so I use Original (blue) Dawn dishwashing liquid on my knees and low back after my usual shower or bath, then I liberally soak several paper towels with rubbing alcohol and scrub my knees and low back. While allowing the alcohol time to dry, I either use a hot hair dryer or sit in front of a space heater, warming my knees. Only then do I apply the tape and use the backing paper to rub the tape to create friction. I was amazed that the tape stayed on for two whole weeks. I did have to trim a few small areas that curled from my jeans rubbing the tape. Be sure to watch the videos to decide how much tension you need to use. The first time I put it on my back it hurt badly because I pulled it to much. I was able to reapply the tape and warm it with the hair dryer. I was happy that it stuck again. Also the ends do not stick well to tape. Your anchors must be on your skin with no tension. Thank you for this excellent product!

I have lived the last few years of my life with severe back issues. A few issues aided to this, but mostly a car wreck that damaged my spine was the final blow. I had several herniated discs, bulging discs and issues that made day to day living a pain. I did my best to find ways around doing things, but still missed simply working out or even sitting up to watch television. KT tape was recommended to me via physical therapy. I thought the entire ideology was a joke. You mean tape, apply to my body, can make me feel better? It sounds absolutely ridiculous. After a few days, I fell in love, and now, almost a year later, I live daily with strips of tape on my back. KT Tape Pro is my SECOND different tape tried. I had heard a few different things about this tape, and was mainly looking for something that applied more support to my spine. KT Tape Pro does this, as well as applies a fantastic adhesive that lasts for 3-5 days (mine averages about four, depending on my workouts, clothing and showers). KT Tape relieves pain to my spin, allows free movement and adds phenomenal support to my spine. I stand up straight, and have next to no pain. Without tape, it is completely night and day difference. This tape was also used on my fiances sprain foot. She has had several issues with her foot, and reinjured it. After a few days of pain, I decided to apply it to her, and see if perhaps this tape just worked on me. Perhaps Ive become too mentally safe with tape, and was just receiving a false sense of feeling better. Within a few days of having this tape applied, my fiance had zero issues with her foot. Swelling had decreased to none and she could freely move without issues. If you have any sort of body pain, or issues, buy this tape.

Purchased the pro as it advertises that it has better sticking power. Started peeling off minutes after applying. Didnt matter if I had clean dry skin or not. Works when it sticks though.

Bought: Black precuts To preface, I work with a D1 basketball team and I’m a dancer so that means I shower after practices, treatments, and personal workouts. Cons: The other reviews are kind of untruthful because the tape comes off BUT it will stick right back majority of the time. I sweat perfusely and it was on my foot so it started to come off a bit but once I got dry after my shower and I rubbed it back on, it was stuck again. 2. The application isn’t always easy (if you’re doing it alone) but it will come with time. 3. My main peeve with it is that I got the precut ones. The strips become longer than what I wanted once stretched but I can’t really complain about getting more reach with the tape. Pro 1. Literally everything. I felt like I was walking on a pillow with my ankle and that is my recurrent injury spot 2. It didn’t stop my range of motion on my knee plus it feels like a brace without the limitations of a brace. The tape reminds you that you have an injury because you will feel it stretch as you do certain movements but it won’t hurt nor stop you. 3. After 3 or 4 days, it was still stuck on me. Even the parts that peeled back, were still sticky.

Ive tried several different kinesiology tapes, here are the results of my head-to-head comparisons... In order of stretchiness: KT Tape Pro: Super stretchy spandex-type material. Dries super fast. Breathes excellently even in multiple layers. KT Tape: High-elastic content cotton. Dries reasonably fast. Adequate breathability in multiple layers. Rocktape H2O: High-elastic content cotton. Dries reasonably fast. Adequate breathability in multiple layers. Rocktape: Moderate-elastic content cotton. Takes the longest to dry but thats still fast. Not very breathable, can feel slightly stifling in multiple layers. In order of stickiness: Rocktape H2O: Can be repositioned, and will stick just as well after repositioning. Sticks to tape well. Can be uncomfortable to remove. Rocktape: Can be repositioned, but loses some stickiness each time. Edges tend to peel up. Doesnt stick to tape very well. Okay removal. KT Tape Pro: Can be repositioned, but wont stick for more than a day if you do. Sticks to tape well. Easily removed. KT Tape: Cannot be repositioned, edges tend to peel. Sticks to tape adequately well. Seems more painful to remove than others. In order of longevity: Rocktape H2O: 3+ days. Stays put until you take it off. KT Tape Pro: 2-4 days. Once you get it stuck on, it stays. Less peeling than Rocktape. Rocktape: 2-4 days. Edges tend to peel up on day 2, so youve got to trim it down. KT Tape: 1 day. Edges and entire parts of strips peel up almost immediately. In order of support: Rocktape: Very stable support. Multiple layers offer similar support to a lightly structured brace. Useful for areas where you need a lot of stability like knees and ankles. Rocktape H2O: Stable support. Multiple layers offer similar support to a soft compression brace. Useful for areas where you need both stretch and support, better adhesion and superior stretch offers excellent massage for sore muscles. KT Tape: Moderately stable support. Multiple layers offer similar support to a compression sleeve. KT Tape Pro: Light to moderate support. Multiple layers offer similar support to a soft compression sleeve. Useful for areas where you need flexibility first, particularly well-suited to wrists and fingers.

I twisted my knee and wanted something light and flexible to give me better stability when exercising and walking. This was a great buy. I would recommend this product. It helped with swelling. I was able to shower and go about my day with ease and greater comfort. The tape stayed in place and was easy to remove — just follow the directions to avoid any skin damage from the adhesive when removing.

I have a connective tissue disorder (EDS) that causes my joints to be hyper mobile. My knees, regardless of how much PT I do to strengthen, still dislocate, as do my elbows and many smaller joints like fingers. During the hotter months, my joints get worse, and the colder months make my joints stiffer and therefore less painful. I had a friend recommend these to me after they had a sports injury. Best. Idea. Ever. I slap these babies on and around my knees and look out world, I’m held together with tape, but I’m coming through!! I do have to be careful removing the tape, just because I bruise easily and can tear my skin very easily, but the adhesion is spectacular! These bad boys aren’t moving anywhere! I also love that they are discreet, so I can still wear clothes without a bulky and uncomfortable knee brace. They help alleviate some pain, but they’re not perfect. It would be lovely if they made some with some pain relieving gel inside. I’m still hyper mobile with them on, but I can still go on jogs in the summer like I would in the winter. If you have a connective tissue disorder or have bad joints that need some support, definitely give these a go!

LOVE THE COLOR!! works so well

I work at a warehouse and these tape have been helping me a lot with rotator cuff pain. When not wearing them, the difference is noticeable. They can stay on my skin for 3-4 days even with constant shower. Only thing is, like other reviews mentioned, these tape cause rashes and irritation on skin. Changing them every 2 days seems to be helping with the rashes but not with itchiness while wearing them.
