Nexcare Strong Hold Pain-Free Removal Tape, Silicone Adhesive, Secures Dressing and Lifts Away Cleanly - 1 In x 4 Yds, 1 Roll of Tape

I've been using the plastic "X" style tape for over 1.5 years and switched to Nexcare 3 weeks ago. I like it so much more than the individual X tapes. I highly recommend trying out Nexcare as mouth tape while sleeping.Cost: This is a no-brainer. The plastic "X" style tape strips individual tape strips are very expensive. Nexcare is cheap *and* the roll looks like it's going to last a very long time.Ease of use: Nexcare is on a roll and can be easily torn with fingers alone. The edge of the roll is easy to find and pull up because the tape has a little bit of thickness. So, getting a piece just before sleeping is quick and easy. The plastic "X" style tape strips require some fidgeting with the paper or plastic that the strip comes on, and I almost always ended up bending a corner of it onto itself.Feel: Nexcare is soft to the point where I forget it is on my lips at all. The stiff plastic "X" style tape strips are not very comfortable and could make my lips a bit itchy at times.Reapplying: The Nexcare tape is super sticky and easy to apply and reapply -- I sip water about 2x per night. The X tapes did not stick as well after reapplying, but the Nexcare is just as good.Lip balm: I can also apply some lip balm to the corners of my mouth when needed after putting on the Nexcare tape, and only the edges of the tape lose their stickiness. When I tried that with the plastic "X" style strips, the entire tape would lose its stickiness almost immediately.Residue: Some reviews said they get a residue on their lips after taking the Nexcare off. I haven't experienced that. It's possible that some rolls have this problem and others do not. Or that it's very sensitive to heat, and that occurs after too much heat exposure. I'm only guessing, though.Customizability: Since you tear off a piece of Nexcare tape with your fingers, you can customize it to the perfect length for your lips. I only cover about an inch of my lips, so I could always breathe through the corners of my mouth while sleeping, if necessary (but this hasn't happened). The plastic "X" style strips are one size only.Trust: The companies that sell the plastic "X" style strips change all the time. I could never buy the same product twice (3+ months apart) because they would disappear, only to be replaced by another company and a different-looking product. Nexcare is made by 3M, which has been around for decades and is used in medical settings. I trust the ingredients of Nexcare much more because of that.

This is the best medical tape. I use it to keep my insulin port in place and I have an allergy to tape and this doesn't bother my skin. I would recommend it to anyone with tape allergy.

I've been using this as mouth tape for about a year. It's easy to tear and it comes off with no residue. I have taken it off and reapplied it and it was still sticky. I usually use about an inch and a half each night. And the roll lasts about 3ish months. One thing to note is that if you have any product on or around your mouth, it does not stick very well. I tend to have an issue with this after I do my skincare or when I just applied chapstick. To get around this, I try to do this at least 30 minutes before I plan on using the tape. I hope this helps!

I use this to tape my son’s G-tube down and also the cord that I do his feeds through on his belly and it worked so much better. He has sensitive skin. And this tape has been the one that works the best but I would like to say that it doesn’t stick as good as it used to. I’m not sure why I’ve been using it for about six or seven months and I just keep buying more. It is worth it.

Bought this for mouth tape to sleep. Works like a charm and way better deal. Never slept better in my life. Comes off with zero pain or stickiness.

This tape is a lifesaver for sensitive skin! The silicone adhesive holds dressings in place without irritation and peels off easily without pulling or leaving residue. I’ve also used it for mouth taping at night to promote nasal breathing—it stays put but removes comfortably in the morning. However, if using for mouth taping, be sure to test a small piece first and use caution to ensure safe breathing. Also great for securing bandages, blisters, and even lightweight medical devices. A must-have for any first aid kit!

this is the silicon tape that you should purchase. i have tried other silicon tapes offered on Amazon to save on cost. don’t bother trying other tapes. this one works the best. it has much stronger adhesive characteristics.don’t waste you money on other brands.

I tried this for mouth taping and right away I felt like it wouldn't stay on. That worry kept me from falling asleep cuz I was constantly checking it. A lot of times after I fall asleep I will wake up in the middle of the night because I can feel it coming off. Sometimes if I replace a piece of tape with another from the same roll it will feel a lot stronger, but I shouldn't have to waste tape to find a piece that's sticky enough. At least it doesn't leave any residue
