Effekt Manufaktur Kinesiology Tape Waterproof (16 ft x 2 in), 2 Rolls - Elastic Physio Tape for Muscle Support and Injury Recovery, Medical Tape, Kinetic Tape, Durable Kinesthetic Tape (Blue + Black)

I've used the pricey name brand "KT" tape in the past in both the 'Pro' & original forms. Both had ends of correctly-applied knee taping coming loose on day one, even before work ended. Also, CANNOT shower wearing either-- all pieces of tape on leg are then SOAKED, and will not dry even when a hair dryer was blown on a section for some time... plus, showering without washing near the taped area caused the adhesive to begin to fail on day one... So, spent some time reading the fine print & reviews of a more budget-friendly tape that claims to not only have stronger adhesion, but that may even have the cotton of said tape be waterproof... or at least somewhat water-resistant. This brand made only a tiny mention of "waterproof" in the top main product description, but did claim in more detail that their adhesive was stronger than most others-- with a taping possibly lasting up to SEVEN DAYS. A couple reviews stated that this brand of tape was actually difficult to remove (the reviewers stated this was a negative point... uh... NO. Staying firmly adhered to the skin is nothing but POSITIVE! Safe to say those customers are new to kinesiology taping... or were using an inferior product.If you have sensitive skin, rubbing BABY OIL/COOKING OIL/MINERAL OIL/WD-40/GOO-GONE on top of the tape & around its edges to assist in breaking down the adhesive is your solution...).Following their enclosed guide on how to tape a knee, I applied the two tape pieces to my clean skin. I then repeated that same configuration, only "upside down" in order to have another small horizontal piece above my kneecap, as I'm used to the application configuration that the name brand uses. Since this is not a roll with pre-cut strips, I made sure to round all corners of all ends of each tape strip. 12 hours after work later, EVERY INCH of EVERY SECTION of tape I applied, whether it be on my bare skin or crossing over atop more tape, is STILL completely in place-- this is also true of EVERY END of every piece. ZERO LOOSENING... ANYWHERE. Being that it looks & feels like cotton with a tiny bit of some form of elastic added, I expected the tape to become saturated when I tested for water resistance by blotting with a soaking wet washcloth... it was NOT WET. When I blotted my leg with a towel, my skin still felt damp, but this tape (at least in the pink color) is, indeed, 100% WATERPROOF!! BUY IT!!!

I use this tape to hold up my belly during pregnancy and I also use it around my ankle that desperately needs support. Starts loosing stickiness after a few hours though. Won’t lower a star for that because it’s still a great big help.

This is one of the better kinesiology tapes I've used. It has a good grip and lasts longer than the majority out there. The only reason I didn't go 5 stars is even with medical scissors the tape tends to stick to the scissors which can result in uneven cuts if you need to cut it into smaller pieces.

Use this as mouth tape at night. Doesn't leave a residue. Fun colors because why not. The only thing is that you do have to take the time to cut it with scissors, as opposed to using Micropore tape which you can just rip with your hands.

My skin hated this tape. It was well made, held up, good stretch, but my skin reacted to it now matter what I did. I could leave it on more than a day. It got itchy and inflammation under from the tape if I left it on.

This tape is amazing, I use it to keep my toe from moving and it works! I can keep it on and get it wet for up to five days!

I'm surprised this worked lol , but it did . shoulder impingement, easy to put on had it on for a day and really seemed to work

Applied to clean, dry, skin and it immediately started to peel off and roll up on the edges. I wouldn’t use it to tape an envelope closed.
