Folks, I don’t think that it is often someone actually reviews something like athletic tape. However, I had to make an exception for this product, because this product is dope.
Look, athletic tape is athletic tape. You hurt yourself, need support, whatever, you tape that up. Then after you are done, you rip it off, you lose any hair that was attached to it, and you spend the next two days trying to remove that gooey sticky residue from your body. Sounds about right? Well, that’s athletic tape.
Here’s where this product differed for me. I taped up my finger because I wanted to protect it after jamming it in Brazilian Jujitsu. While I trained again, the tape stayed on and it did exactly what you’d expect athletic tape to do. However, when it was time to remove it, the tape came off super easily, and it didn’t leave behind any of that sticky mess or take any of my hair! That is dope!
Say what? No glue to clean up after? Word y’all, this tape is the dopest one I’ve ever used. I bought one pack, but I’m gonna pick up another, this is just too damn good to not keep on reserve! Anyway, now you know why I reviewed athletic tape! If you need some good athletic tape, pick up some of that Hamptom Adams white athletic tape.
I use these to wrap my shin guards in soccer. Have used Mueller tape for years. That's my standard. These are the same size and general look, but the weave of the tape is a little looser, which is only a visual thing as far as I can tell. I take 1 star off because the tape isn't very sticky. It's not like it fails, but the last 1-2 inches always comes off during the game, leaving a little tongue hanging off. If conditions were wet, I'm sure they'd come all the way off. Maybe this feature would be good if I used this on my skin for an ankle wrap or the like, but if you use it on top of a sock, expect it to come off a bit. The good news is that the tape doesn't leave a residue when I take it off and taking it off is almost too easy.
Thicker, stronger tape with better adhesive than Mueller's current offering and the less expensive Solimo. Still easy to remove if you've been sweating, but adheres through the activity, at least for tennis and pickleball. Best we've found recently. Needed something for taping a foot for plantar fasciitis issue, and for a sore wrist. Costs more, $3.33 per 10 ft. roll, but it works. Other tapes came loose with sweat.
This is a great combination tape that all at once manages to stick to the skin really well, but come off really easily. I use it for fashion tape during shoots for outfits that don't allow for bras or that need to stay put in a certain place.
Originally I bought this tape for wrapping my son’s lacrosse stick (works great for that, too!)
But, after I ordered it & before it arrives, I developed double tennis elbow. Up from elbow to shoulder & elbow to wrist. Terribly painful. I iced & then wrapped (Ace bandage) it, but the wrap I had didn’t stick well & it was not tight enough to support. Instead of going to the drug store, I decided to wrap this tape over top of the wrap & voila ! Much better support & it stuck ! I love how flexible it is & strong. It’s also very versatile.
I’ll be buying more of this stuff … great value for the price.

I play hardball baseball and these are a must. I wrap my wrists and sometimes a forearm or ankle. These work great in the mud and dirt of catching. They do not stretch out and hold pressure no matter how must dirt or sweat is on them. They are very sticky so removing them can be difficult. I do use pre-wrap most of the time, but not all of the time. They will rip hair and leave some redness on your skin. But they work very well and do not rip apart or give. I'll be purchasing them again.
Great tape! I will be buying more for sure. I used it for snatches and it was fantastic. Held on way better than expected. Coming off was just a tad painful since it sticks so well. Much rather that problem than the tape not sticking, which I’ve encountered. Highly recommend if your using for wrapping your wrists.
Perfect - exactly the kind of tape I was looking for - a little bit of the "clothy" feel and has a little bit of texture to it, not the shiny silky kind of medical tape. But also not really thick and bulky. you can rip it with your hands, not SUPER easy - but also not really hard either. I also like that this is somewhat wide and not a really narrow roll of tape.
If you are looking for something that will hold up to sweat and movement this is your tape. I use it on my foot for Judo and it holds during my training... better then what I have bought in the store
My job requires me to do a lot of repetitive hand and wrist motions so that could eventually lead me towards Arthritis. The finger tape at work is kind of stiff and hard so I had to find something better and more durable for myself.
This athletic sports tape not only helps compress my nerves to reduce pain during work days, but it is also durable enough to handle sharp, rigid bottle caps as well. These have helped me recover from the blisters on my fingers and went on to prevent more from appearing due to their remarkable durability. I also like how these are still adequately flexible. In fact, these are a nice stand-in for gauze(combine with cotton/inner fabric for open wounds). I'm thoroughly satisfied with this product and will probably buy more down the line, depending on how long I keep this current job.
