as far as flexibility, adhesion, and waterproofness, this tape is quite incredible... if it was "breathable", it would be, overall, outstanding!
| specifically, regarding "adhesion" |
• it sticks very well, even if the skin is not freshly washed.
• it sticks outstanding, with washed skin, to skin cleaned with alcohol and let dry, and to skin cleaned with alcohol, rinsed with h2o, and dried.
• it maintains great adherence to skin, when there is major skin movement, such as joint areas, hands, fingers, loose skin areas, etc., due to being very rubbery/flexible
• it adheres "very well" to itself
| aside from "adhesion" |
• as claimed, it is highly water-resistant and waterproof! (for example, it maintained adherence to skin and itself after 30+ minutes of swimming)
• it tears VERY easily, multi-directionally, no scissors are required, but the tears or rips are not clean…though this has no effect on performance, if you want a straight cut, then use scissors
• it has incredible stretch (much like Kinesiology Tape aka KT), which is why it adheres greatly at joints or areas of major skin movement.
• it has good, but not great tensile strength, as it will rip if stretched too hard/too long a distance (unlike KT)
• it is very soft & gentle, very comfortable, and very flexible, as it is quite rubbery and foamy
• the only con; it does NOT breathe whatsoever, due to the rubbery/closed-cell foam design, so the skin underneath ibecomes very warm and, subsequently, sweaty
| bottom line |
• due to the lack of any breathability, it is quite uncomfortable (hot and sweaty underneath)... but, it is tremendous in all other ways.
pleased, Thank you. :-)
So thankful to have found this stuff! Read a trick about taping two toes together when wearing heels and this tape works perfectly. It is waterproof and cushioned. I also put a small patch on my heel where I usually get blisters and this tape completely prevented it. Wish I knew about this stuff ages ago. Amazing!
I use Nexcare First Aid Tape on a regular basis this stuff is great! You really don't ever have to buy band aids ever again because with this stuff you can make your own. Any shape or size. I love it and I don;t use that word or review loosely.
This was the least expensive product that I purchased to cover a recent surgical scar, yet proved to be the best. The other kinds I bought that said they were waterproof etc, in fact were not. This tape stays secure most of the day, preventing the sun from discoloring the scar. It works well while in water, but not all day. For a day at the beach I replace it maybe 2 times. Not a huge inconvenience as it stays on in the water. I would definitely recommend. Also great for blisters/ shoe rubbing
I kind of use this tape in an unconventional way. My daughter has a feeding tube, so she uses it to stabilize the tube so it doesn't move around too much. It works perfectly and doesn't irritate her skin. Is it waterproof? We haven't tested that out, but it does last all day and night so long as you don't tug it too much.

I cut myself a lot and band aids don't cut it.
wash your hands and its off.
when I have a deeper cut this means new band aid etc. time to use this stuff.
these stay on if you use enough surface area.
careful not to get ointment on it where you need it to stick and it sticks great - overwrap to itself.
I buy this two and three rolls at a time because I have to change a patch each every day and I use this tape to keep it in place. It is waterproof, but only to a point. Because I have to change my patch daily, it's waterproof feature is of little value to me. You can't go wrong with this tape!!!
I love this overpriced tape! I can’t always find it at the drugstores. It moves with ur body and it’s waterproof. Every time I get tattooed I look for this tape bc it doesn’t leave any residue on my body.
Pros:
- Waterproof indeed. Can be tightly wrapped and block water.
- Perfect for short term usage.
Cons:
- If your hands are wet, it will come off relatively quick and the adhesive will lose its effectiveness.
If you need stretchy slightly padded tape, this is it. I used it for taping over sore spots on my skin, taping around finger joints, taping stuff to skin. Sticks real well to itself.
