This works fantastic for mouth taping at night. The 1" width was never quite enough stick; my mouth would work its way open with it without fail. The 2" has perfect amount of surface area & stickiness level to stay in place overnight. I was even able to reuse the piece without issue. No stickiness left on the face, and my sensitive skin hasn't suffered for it.
Brand names became brand names because they make products that are better than the competition, and this is a prime example. There are a lot of manufacturers of paper tape out there, but I have yet to find one (I'm a doc) that does a better job of balancing adhesion and painless removal with breathability than the 3M product. Yes, this is exactly what we use in the hospital, and yes, there's a reason. If you're stocking up, you need some of this, some plastic perforated tape (TransPore is the 3M brand if you want to go with the genuine article) and very little else.
I have done months of wound care on a foot. Once two years ago and now currently. I prefer the paper Micropore Surgical tape because it gives a little, shaping to the foot with just enough porosity for air. I LOVE the DISPENSER !!! I've used only the one, refilled it twice and it still cuts the tape perfectly at just the right length. A real TIME-SAVER. I wish I knew about this 2 years ago.3M Micropore Paper Tape - White, 1" x 10yds (Box of 12)
I use this size for mouth taping at night. the extra width allows me to fold over the top or bottom edge for easy removal.
Perfect tape and identical to what the hospital sent home with us. We needed more, and I was glad to find it here and a very good price. This is also good item to keep on hand for future emergencies or first-aid.... or just "being prepared." highly recommend. It sticks to skin surfaces well, somewhat waterproof, and it peels off fairly easily.

Description
A latex-free, hypoallergenic paper tape that is gentle to the skin yet adheres well and leaves minimal adhesive residue upon removal. An economical, general purpose, breathable surgical tape. Micropore tape is excellent for repeated applications on sensitive skin, fragile skin and elderly patients. It is available in a dispenser pack for easy tear and convenience.
This came with it's own dispenser so no looking for scissors when needed - it was necessary the day I received it, so also timely. It leaves a residue like most tape but at least no one is allergic to this one. The dispensers are lightweight but effective and small enough you could carry it easily in a purse or small first aid kit. It sticks well, doesn't lift off unless you remove it but it allows skin to breathe apparently. No rashes have developed from using this particular typse and brand of tape so I'll keep it on my list to reorder. Thanks Amazon.
If you have tough skin, this works great. I had surgery on nose and paper tape I had wouldn't stick, so ordered this. I have fragile thin skin. As you can see by picture, taking it off hurt skin under eye. I cannot use it.
I thought this was a crazy idea, but when I read about using it to tape my mouth shut, I laughed but decided to try it. I have to wear a Cpap and it made my mouth like a desert--so dry I could hardly move my tongue! After using this, I have had no dry mouth problems! Crazy, but it works!
The case is not very sturdy, other then that, a great product at a good price. I bought it to use behind my ears so that I could wear pierced earrings (my pierced ears have been stretched by heavy earrings and kids). They have products you can buy for this, but the surgical tape works much better and is a lot cheaper. The tape helps support the earrings, so the ears are not taking the brunt of the weight.
Good quality tape. Even came with a reusable dispenser. I have no problem with this tape. stays on while dry and easily removes when wet. Highly recommend.
