KS Sports Tex "Kinesiology Tape", 5cm X 5M, BLUE, Single Roll " Made in Korea" Tape (Also Available in Black, Purple, Yellow, Red, Pink, and Blue)

seriously happy with this product, meets all my expectations

Kinesio tape is so versatile for hikers, runners, and athletes. This tape was designed to reduce muscle strain when applied properly, but I use it as part of my backpacking first aid kit. It works better than moleskin for blisters because it is lower profile, flexible, and it breathes properly to keep skin from getting moist and breaking down. Feeling a hot spot on your foot or heel? Wrap it with this tape BEFORE you get the blister and it will keep you going on the trail. You can cut it into smaller strips and make bandages (just use a little gauze over the wound before applying tape). In a pinch, it replaces an ACE bandage, too. I can wrap 2 ankles and 2 knees easily with one roll of this tape, and the heat activated adhesive means it stays on strong. It's water resistant, too, so you can sweat, bathe, or get rained on and it will adhere for up to 3 days. This replaces the inferior paper or heavy non-flexible waterproof medical tape I carry, and it now also replaces having to carry a heavy ACE bandage. The roll is super lightweight for those ounce-conscious hikers, too. Get some!

Love this tape for my hammer toes. And I tape diagonally along my kneecap to help reduce swelling from Botched knee replacement.

I am still learning how to apply this tape properly. However, it does stick well, and I have gotten a lot of positive comments on the design (American flag). To be honest, this tape works better than the Rock Tape that my physical therapist uses. My only negative comment is that when I am sleeping the tape tends to unroll when I am moving about in my bed.

First of let me start off by saying I initially didn't buy all the hype that comes from these at first. Then I hurt my shoulder working out. I tried everything heat, ice, rest, and stretches. I would get temporary relief but nothing lasting. Finally i gave in and decided to give this a try it was my last shot at relief before i finally give up and go to Dr. Let me tell you what a difference it makes. I am using with all the other things i was previously doing but keeping my shoulder taped for the day makes a huge difference. I can get through the day with no discomfort at all and i feel it is helping speed up the recovery. If you are a skeptic like i was I would say give it a try for the 9 bucks you cant go wrong plus the designs are pretty cool.

it works & very happy for the good quality & great price
