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

Pre-cut strips eliminate trimming. Thicker fabric provides better support and lasts 3-4 days (just dry it well after showers). The included instructions are easy to understand, even for a newbie but consult a pro for your specific injury to make sure you are taping correctly (i.e., you put no stretch on the last 2-3” on each end, and mild to moderate stretch across the ares that need support. Again, the included instructions are great, but there are a number of YouTube videos on the topic as well. I have some Meniscus and MCL pain (64 yrs old) when I go cycling or walking, especially longer distances. Without the KT, the ache gets to 6-7 on the pain scale. With the KT, it’s closer to 2-3. I can’t comfortably wear a full knee brace while cycling, but the KT gives me great breathable support (I cycled 64 miles on my 64th birthday with only mild soreness the next day). Try this! It has been a fantastic find for me.

I have foot paralysis and I have to tape my toes and ankle every day, so I go through a lot of tape. This stuff is good, it’s just more expensive than some other brands that work as well

Both the household members tried this. I broke my arm a few months ago and my PT put this type of tape on me and it worked great. I bought this one for my BF because he has extreme shoulder pain everyday all day. I told him to let me put this tape on and did the criss cross thing and he was amazed that the pain subsided greatly and immediately!

I bought this because my physical therapist uses it. I have joint issues due to arthritis and carpal tunnel and this is so easy to apply to wrists and at the elbow joint when doing lots of arm and wrist work. It’s a must when sewing, canning, gardening, yard work, cake making and decorating, and bread baking. My hands get a work-out and this works so well to add extra support. My husband uses at work on his knee, and also his wrists and elbows when doing yard work. It’s a great way to minimize even prevent joint and muscle pain.

They don’t really stay for a whole day Does not really stay applied for the whole day I’m trying my best to use them on the shoulder that is really bad

Very comfortable sticks better than most, I found this to be a miracle tape I love it

I first bought the regular version of KT Tape locally, in black, and I decided I didnt want it to be obvious I was dealing with Repetitive Stress Injury (RSI, a.k.a. Tendonitis) issues. I could not find the skin colored tape locally, hence the reason for purchasing online. So, this review is for the PRO Sports Tape, but comparing it to the Original...two things I find different than the Original: #1, the pretty little dash lines printed on the tape. (They dont seem to serve any function other than looks); #2, the convenient plastic container with double screw-on lids (which makes it easy to toss into a gym bag). I expected the PRO tape to have a stronger elasticity/different fabric than the Original, but they appear to be the same. And for me personally, I was using the box from my first purchase (of the Original) as a dispenser (with a flap folded in). Which, although the box is not durable like the plastic, is much easier to pull off the strips as you need them. One more issue I realized is the same: the length of time wearing it. The Original recommends 1-3 days and the PRO recommends 4-7 days. But regardless of which one you use, once an edge curls up from your skin it wont re-adhere and your clothes will constantly stick to it and peel it away from your skin further. So even the PRO might need to be changed every day. Also, if either style gets wet, they will stick to your skin OK, but if you layer one tape over another they wont bond together anymore. As for removal, expect either version to pull out a few hairs, so expect it to be a little uncomfortable. As of yet I have not tried the Gentle version, which Im assuming would not hurt as much peeling it off. Also note, with repeated use such as needed for tendonitis, your skin may develop a sensitivity to the adhesive and cause a bit of a rash when you take it off.

When I first used this product, I was going through so much muscle pain from the arthritis in my knees and shoulder pains. I work overnights and this definitely came in handy cause I applied it before I started working and would go through the entire night without pain. When it was time for me to remove the tape, I can tell the difference cause the pain would return. Definitely recommend this product to anyone who is active like myself that needs anything that can relieve pain without medication.

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.

After tearing a muscle, the doctor suggested this tape to relieve the pain while I healed. Doc was correct! I didnt even notice the tapes were there. Would highly recommend.
