Therapist’s Choice® Kinesiology Tape Bulk Roll (Beige)

This stuff works great!!! 5 stars!!Quick update 2015:I just bought my second roll of this stuff. Just as good as the first. The second roll is a bit lighter than the first that I bought over a year ago which is fine since I'm fair skinned. To give you an idea of the durability of this product, I wrapped a bit of this stuff around a harness my dog wears when he runs to prevent chafing in his armpit. My dog has rand (and swum) literally hundreds of miles with this backpack on and has yet to wear the tape off. After all that I washed the backpack the other day and it still survived. I also wrapped a bit of this tape around a rear bike light and that also lasted and lasted and lasted.....Pre 2015:I have used this tape for a variety of purposes: to "sports" tape my feet for support (due to tendonitis/joint pain), to cover a highly infectious skin rash, to protect various recently healed wounds from sun damage, and to hold scar-reducing patches on my skin for days at a time, and even to hold a few broken objects around the house together for long periods of time. It was great for all of these purposes. Although it's porous nature does not make it perfect for covering skin infections to prevent their spread, it did seem to perform admirably even for covering molluscum warts. Note also that this stuff + gauze would make a great economical bandaid or emergency splint, and as a person who enjoys outdoor adventures I have added some to my first aid kit. I'm Caucasion, so the beige color was great for not being too obvious or weird looking against my skin. I searched around Amazon for quite some time to find the right sports tape, and I highly recommend this stuff for both price and quality reasons.It is porous and not designed to keep water *out*, so just accept that; also note that it only stretches in the longitudinal direction, per design, and that you will definitely need a scissors (or in a pinch, a finely honed knife blade) to do a good job cutting it. Also note that it has a backer, which actually makes it great for cutting into squares of just the right size. It did sometimes start peeling at corners, though a "professional" application would involve rounding off such corners to prevent this very phenomenon. In cases where it did peel at corners, it did occasionally leave minor residue on the skin consisting of dirt+glue for a day or so, but definitely nothing to write home about.Once again, great stuff. Wayyyy more comfortable to wear than normal sports tape. Buy it!

Definitely holds up well.Not easy to use alone. If you have sensitive skin I do not recommend but over easy to use color was good.

works great on a bad back and shoulder

I bought this because I have plantar fasciitis and peroneal tendon subluxation. I use a lot of kinesiology tape. It works - however, the edges of the tape never stay stuck, even if you round them out and use your hand to heat up the adhesive. The adhesive also irritates my skin, which doesn’t happen with brand name KT tape. I’ll probably buy this again if I ever run out, because it’s cheaper than getting surgery on my foot. 🥴

I have used three other brands of kinesio-style tape successfully. Based on the reviews here, I ordered a roll of this. I am more than satisfied. I taped my ankle and my knee for tennis as soon as my roll arrived. The joint support for tennis was outstanding. The ankle tape lasted well through tennis and four showers; the knee tape is still on and working five days later. This is extremely similar to Rocktape Kinesiology Tape for Athletes. It is stickier, lighter-weight and more stretchy than Kinesio - Tex Tape Gold Wave Bulk 2" W x 103.3' L Blue - 1 Clinical Roll which was my previous bulk tape choice. I felt that Rocktape performance, though very good, did not quite justify the extra cost. At this price there is no question that I prefer this tape. I have just ordered a second roll.Before I found this kind of tape, tennis and walking had become extremely painful for me. I had used athletic tape and Futuro Wrap Around Ankle - Medium with some success, but they constricted circulation and were too thick to be comfortable. I discovered this tape shortly before going on a vacation that would involve hours of walking each day.This kind of tape has protected my foot and knees tremendously for tennis and walking. It is so thin that it is as comfortable as a second skin. It helps keep the joints aligned during play and afterwards. When I remove the tape a few days later, the joints seem to be stronger and more comfortable than before I started taping. I have had good luck in shoulder and (tennis) elbow taping, but that depends on getting someone to do it for me.Note: If you can find somebody who is trained in this kind of taping, that would be best. If you live in a small town as I do, you might be able to do it yourself if you have successfully used regular athletic tape and/or if you understand a little about muscle anatomy. You can find helpful videos on the KT TAPE Pro Athletic Tape web site and on YouTube. (I occasionally buy a roll of KT Tape just to support them, but their regular (non-Pro) tape was not as good as Kinesio Tex Gold. Hopefully their Pro tape will be competitive in quality.)Recommended without reservation -- but if you don't know how to tape, find someone who does.

I have been buying this tape for months ,Mine patients love it , great quality and quantity. Super stretchy and stay for 1 week on the skin .

Overall this tape is OK. It lays down relatively easy but doesn't stick really at all. As soon as it gets wet its flopping around and really more than 24 hours of wear and its coming off the edges. I've been an avid RockTape user for years and was looking for a more cost effective alternative but with how often I have to change the tape I might as well use the more expensive stuff. Won't buy again.

Was only able to use one time due to unknown sensitive skin issues
