This product is perfect for my needs. I have an ostomy bag that hangs ever so slightly outward at the top, which adds an odd wrinkle under my clothing. It dawned on me about a year ago that there might be tape I could use, but it would have to be thin, light weight, and be re-fixable a few times during the day. And most importantly, not irritating to my skin. This product is exactly all those things!
I only use about an inch of the 10 yards every day, so it took a long time to use it all up. I've moved since purchasing this at a local medical supply store. When I knew I was running out, I asked my pharmacy if they could locate it...twice...and they did not. I contacted other medical suppliers within an hour's drive...they could not locate it. I called Walmart...they didn't have it. Aha!! Amazon! I typed in Hypafix, and the exact product I was looking for came to the top. It cost about 30% less than what I had paid previously. When the box came, I was delighted that there were TWO boxes packaged. The product now cost about 60% less.
I like to shop local, but this has made me even more of a believer in Amazon. Love it!
I've been using this tape for about 8 years. I mainly use it when I go hiking/backpacking. As a precaution, I tape up areas of my feet that are prone to blisters. I put this on before hiking and no blisters! I have shared my "magic tape" with many hikers over the years and now many people swear by it. I am highly allergic to most adhesive tapes. I have never had a reaction to this tap. It is a staple around my house and in my first aid kit.
This medical tape is awesome! I took a shower and it stayed on my back and stayed strong. I first used it while caring for my sister who had multiple wounds in difficult areas. The wounds were infected and stayed pretty wet 100% of the time; however this tape held. Also, this was the only tape that did not cause an allergic reaction on her skin. I use it still to hold lidocaine pain patches in place. I cannot say enough good things about this tape. My sister is on a fixed income and insurance did not cover this tape but we liked it so much and it worked so well that she paid out of her own pocket for it, and we used a LOT! This product is a great buy.
I had surgery a few years ago and this tape was recommended to me then. It's extremely easy to measure and cut, then you just peel it off the paper backing and use. I noticed it's available in different widths, but I like the 2" wide roll. I have some skin allergies to adhesive tapes, but no problems ever with this. I also stretches which is very handy when needed. It's gentle on the skin and I never had a problem with it coming off, even when wet.
Because of illness in the family, it is necessary I use a lot of tape. Instead of having to tear off the back to use, the backing splits in the middle. I can cut off the length I need, peel off half and place a gauze pad where I want it, then take off the rest of the backing. I don't end up with one end of the tape stuck to a finger.

I am a repeat customer. I use it to keep my TENS unit leads attached to my back. It is gentle enough to use everyday on the same spot without causing any irritation. Stays on well even when you sweat.
This tape is awesome. They used it on my dad in the hospital. The nurses were raving about it so I ordered it...fantastic stuff! My dad is diabetic and has skin sensitivity. He said he will never use anything else including band aids. He wants a gauze and this tape.
Adheres very well. This is the only tape I can use without an itchy reaction.
This tape works great. Chemo patches slip and peel off when they get wet, be it from sweat or showering. This is the only tape that keeps them on and doesn't cause a horrible rash. The graph printing on the backing makes cutting to size very convenient.
Best tape I have found so far. It stays stuck to skin in the Phoenix desert sun! Won't come off in the heat.
