Kinesio Taping - Elastic Therapeutic Athletic Tape Tex Classic - Black – 2 in. x 13 ft

If you like kinesio tapes DO NOT buy other brands. I tried other brands but always go back to this one. It is the best and lasts the longest. Easy to apply if you know what you are doing.

perfect for my athlete to use to tape his knees. easy to use and sticks

Only k tape I will use. Has to be this brand and the cotton. The ones that say xtra strong are not. I like the strips . Can peel off a little soon but most effective.

Wow, you won't believe this tape because it is really amazing. My arm was hurting so bad one day from a pulled muscle and tried this tape and instantly it really helped.

Since another reviewer said that the black Kinesio Tape seemed to adhere better than the beige, I ordered one roll of each. I really didn't notice any difference between them. The trick is to be absolutely clean, dry and shaved before application. A little sweat can make a big difference initially. Any sweat after application was not a problem, and neither was showering. I found that if the tape had already been on for 2 days and I was swimming vigorously it would start to come off.I have been using it for shoulder instability (after dislocation), and to my surprise it really makes a significant difference both in comfort and in functionality. I've also been using it for calf / ankle / foot swelling (after a crush injury to the leg) and I was pleased to find that I can go all day without using an Ace wrap. For a treatment I thought was probably voodoo and placebo effect I have been absolutely astounded by its undeniable effectiveness!

This product provided sufficient support for my plantar fasciitis however it does not stick on the ends for very long. They start to curl or detach shortly after you apply it. I followed all the recommended instructions to clean and dry the application area and vigorously rubbing the tape after you apply it to activate the adhesive. I also positioned the tape on my foot exactly as instructed by the manufacturer. This brand of cotton tape did not have as much stretch as the synthetic KT Tape Pro and I found that this tape actually caused pain in other parts of my foot.I do like that the backing for the tape has measurement lines on it so you are able to cut off exactly the right amount you want without wasting any.I have found that the KT Tape Pro (different manufacturer) works better for me than Kineseo Tex cotton tape, although it is a more expensive. It has a similar issue with adhesion on the ends but I had a lot more success with it than this brand. I will be switching back to that one if I need to buy tape again. It also comes in pre-cut strips on a roll which makes it easier to work with.If you suffer from plantar fasciitis and are looking for an alternative to taping, the Brown Medical Sol Step works much better for me and is a lot less maintenance. It is an arch support that slips on and has a gel pad on the bottom. There are mixed reviews but I tried it anyway and am very pleased. I ordered one for each foot and have used them for about two weeks. I like them so much I will be ordering another set.

I've been using this tape on my knee/s for the past several months and find it to be very helpful in managing knee ligament and tendon pain. I wrap this multi-dimension stretchable tape beginning below my knee on the outside and wrap it around and up the inside. I round off the corners of each end to prevent the corners from curling up prematurely and, of course, it helps to shave first. This has helped me so much that I no longer wear knee braces when doing exercise or anytime that I would have thought I needed it. I wear it 24/7 as it is waterproof and after several days, usually 3 or so, the ends and edges begin to peel and so I pull it off and put on a new piece. My knee braces were hot and bugged my skin and cut off circulation, this tape does none of that and yet relieves pain, holds ligaments where they need to be sort of, and constantly pulls in both directions like a massage.

They used to sell great tape, but they have switched it out to a different brand in a black and white box, and it does no go on well and creases and sucks.
