SPORTTAPE Extra Sticky Kinesiology Tape, 5cm x 5m - Black | Hypoallergenic, Waterproof Sports Tape | Physio, Medical Sports Tape for Muscle Injury, Support | Uncut - Single Roll

I purchased this as I have recently had an operation on my knee and I'm just in rehabilitation for it ready to try and get back to playing hockey. Tried it on a few times now and prefer it so much to the strap on knee supports that are just too bulky for me, this fits far more comfy. To quality of the adhesive as well so far has been top notch, had no problem with them coming loose or peeling mid exercise.

I was worried when I bought this as there were mixed reviews on whether this works for swimmers, so writing this in case this helps any other fellow swimmers. First time I tried to use it, I was in a rush so didn't read the instructions... it came off within the first 10 mins in the pool. Next time, I took the time to follow all the instructions...and now I'm swimming 4/5k consistently with the tape staying secure for the whole swim.Here's what I do: (1) wipe alcohol wipe on area of skin tape will be applied (2) use a very sharp pair of scissors to cut the tape (3) round off the corners of the tape (4) apply the tape at least 30 mins before entering the water (5) be really strategic with the direction of the tape and liberal with the amount of tape you use. E.g I've predominately used the tape for my neck as I get a rash when I swim long distances, but have also used it on my knee due to an accident. The first time I used the tape on my neck I placed a it vertically from below my ear to above my collar bone, and was quite stingy with the amount I used - given the movement of my neck when I swim, the tape just couldn't hold as it was being stretched too much. I now place the tape horizontally, and use much more, so that the ends are at points which won't be constantly stretched (i.e. the back of my neck and more towards the middle of the front of my neck.Glad to have bought this tape, and have bought more - no more neck rashes for me :). I have removed a star on the basis that it advertises that it can stay put for up to 5 days, but (at least for swimmers who are training for long-ish distances) it has only be a 'one swim' product for me.

Satisfactory

always buy his tape

Hasnt sruck very well but has eased the pain in my hand ans shoulder

Great tape does the job

ends we're pealing off straight away after putting it on. gave my skin a bad reaction and the reaction lasted days.

I like this tape, and I'll probably buy this one alone moving forwards, BUT, I bought it to extra sticky, and it is, it's more sticky than normal KT tape, but I'd say only by 10-20% at the very most, I was expecting something more like 100% more sticky.Good tape, will buy again, but don't buy it expecting loads of sticky if you're happy with your current tape
