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

This is the first time Ive ever used this product, and I wont be using it again...well at least not this brand. It claims to stay on for 24 hrs and that it is sweat proof and I call B.S. on both claims. The first day I used it, I taped for peroneal tendinitis, tarsal syndrome, and Achilles tendinitis and within an 4 hours it was already lifting and rolling. My skin was clean, dry and I was not doing anything other then walking around the house. The second time I taped for same issues after I got out of shower was dressed and dried and I immediately laid down for a nap and again when I woke the tape had lifted and rolled up in several places. I was really excited to try this product as I had seen it used and it has been recommended by several people I know that are extreme sport athletes. While on it truly does provide the support to my ankle and foot I was looking for, it truly is a let down that it just doesnt last long.

From the first usage, I could see a huge difference concerning both my feet. Looked on YouTube, follow the instructions and headed to the gym. I will absolutely be purchasing this product ongoing.

This tape is way better than the regular black kt tape. It sticks much better. Wish it came with more.

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.

I have a shoulder pain that becomes unbearable at times at work with some repetitive motion I do lifting a heat sealing machine. I tried everything from creams to pills to vitamins and herbs and heat and cool patches. Nothing worked ! Based on all the reviews I bought this and I am happy with it. The reason I dont give it 5 stars is because it helps reduce the pain ( and it does so greatly) but it does not eliminate it all together. And to be quite fair about it I dont recall the company making any promises to eliminate 100% of pain. The strips also to my surprise helps give my arm support making it not so hard to do the lifting. I made the mistake of thinking the tighter I put it on the better and that was a bad idea. I got blisters and bad red marks that burned for a couple of weeks. So I would caution you to make them tight but not too tight. I was in Walmart the other day and I was surprised to see they were selling these. I was relieved to see I got them cheaper on Amazon ! That always makes me feel good. And keep in mind that was at MY local Walmart and I have no way of knowing what they sell for at other locations. I really hope that helps and hope anybody with muscle pain can get the relief I did with these or even more! [email protected]

KT Tape continues to perform better than other brands weve tried. My wife has chronic knee issues and it enables her to play tennis with minimal discomfort. Without it, she wouldnt even be on the courts.

My daughter is a competitive dancer and injured her shoulder, so before every dance competition, we use this KT tape, which stays on very well, even when you sweat 

My lower left side of my back hurts once in awhile since I’ve been using this it helps to relieve the pain and something I honestly forgets it there. Give it a try yall

LOVE THE COLOR!! works so well

I was skeptical but my plantar fasciitis has really been limiting my activity recently. I figured its worth a shot. I dont usually have much pain in the morning when I wake up but it progressively worsens throughout the day. I waited until it started to get to a point where I would start to slow down before I applied the tape. I watched the instructional video on their website for plantar fasciitis and almost instantly I felt some sort of relief. The kind of relief you feel as soon as you put a heating pad on a sore muscle. Its not what I was expecting but Ill take it. I have been going on about my day and have been cleaning the house with only mild pain. Usually I would be pretty tempted to stop because of the pain. It hasnt completely ridden me of pain but it does work. When Im not on my feet I can feel that same kind of relief that I felt when I first put it on. Only time will tell to see how well it hold up. I applied shortly after taking a shower to ensure my skin was as clean as it could be before application. I am hoping to get the minimum of 4 days of use out on one application. Otherwise it wont be cost effective to continuously use this but will defiantly always use it when I know Im going to be pretty active. The case makes it convenient to throw in a suitcase or backpack and make sure you have it with you and not worry about it getting damaged. Should I not get the expected usage period out of an application I will update my review. But for day one - Im glad I tried it. **UPDATE** 12/24/15 About 30 hours after applying the tape the edges started to peel significantly. I snipped the peeled back edges as close to my skin as I could to help further eliminate any catching or rolling of the ends further removing the tape. At 48 hours after application the tape on my right foot was peeling off so significantly that it couldnt be salvaged and needed to be removed. At 72 hours the left foot followed suit and needed to be removed. 3 days total, with only about 30 hours of solid, performance with no issues. I wore socks at night like instructed on the website. I was not particularly active, just going about my daily activities. I spend about 6 hours a day in my care commuting for work as well; so I imagine this isnt too rough on the tape. I showered before application and again shortly before the 30 hour mark. Tape was only subjected to 1 shower before it started to deteriorate in performance. I padded the tape dry, being careful not to run and cause the edges to lift. I will be downgrading my rating from 4 to 3 stars. This tape advertises 4-7 days of wear. I got 3, and even that is pushing it. On the plus side, it does help. It would be ideal for short term applications for days or sporting events where you know you will need it. Do not expect a week long application. I just dont see how thats possible. Bottom line: Buy it for the times when you will need it for a sporting event or strenuous activity as a one time use solution. It does work, but doesnt last nearly as long as the manufacturer claims. This is the KT pro tape which is supposed to last 4-7 days. They make another tape that is supposed to last 1-3 days and is a little cheaper. I may give that a go once I use up this roll since Im getting less than 2 days of use out of an application.
