KT Tape, Original Cotton, Elastic Kinesiology Athletic Tape, 20 Count, 10” Precut Strips

I use this Tape when I get injured at the Gym and now I am reviewing it because its worth it.

Most of the time I havent had issues, but Ive had it twice not stick more than 10 minutes. Not sure why.

Works really well for my knee pain

I twisted my knee, already with arthritis, and was screaming in pain after the twist for 3 days. Upon watching football last Sunday I saw a player get his shoulder injured and we thought he was OUT. A play or two later he comes out... makes some great runs, makes a key block and scores the game winning touchdown! They had put KT tape on his shoulder. So happens I already HAD some. Cant even remember why I bought it. Put 3 strips on my knee and INSTANTLY... yes instantly it started feeling better, then after still taking it easy for couple hours and icing it couple of times I could walk rather well. Still felt it a little but in no way hindered me with the awful pain. Still using it, showering with it and all, and getter better every day. LOVE THIS PRODUCT.

I have tried several brands of kinesiology tape and this brand has always worked best for me. It allows for the perfect amount of tension and it does not peel off. It comes in a great assortment of colors. I have used it on myself and for my daughter who was born with torticolis. After a few months of PT and using KT Tape, her condition was corrected. I trust this brand.

I would have given this item 5 stars however something that I think is important for people to know is this; KT Tape will likely need to be supplemented with something else to (ill use knees for example) keep your knee cap in place. What I mean by that is, KT Tape works wonders and is a very nice product. It works exactly as intended and for me made my knees feel more efficient. They simply felt like they werent working nearly as hard to perform the very same tasks I did on a daily basis. That isnt where I had my problems... KT Tape needs to be applied in a specific manner, for some finding a place where you can sit/lie down, keep your knee at a 90 degree angle, while being in minimal clothing can become difficult but THAT isnt even the biggest issue. To apply full knee support you will utilize 6 strips for 2 knees w/full support, after doing the math youll get about 3 or 4 applications in one box, I find that these strips can last up to a week and a half but begin to peel/rip hair out and cause discomfort maybe by the 2nd or 3rd day depending on how well you applied the strips/work out/shower. So if one was to keep KT Tape on their knee 24/7 they would have to buy a 10 dollar box once a month depending on much of a beating they put their tape through/messed up applying. Not to mention there are times when I want to sleep and NOT have my pants getting caught on it. I bet youre wondering how much discomfort comes from wearing this tape... Well when its on correctly, not peeling, and youre going about your business as normal, its easy to forget youre even wearing it... however sometimes Id like to be able to not have to commit 5 or 6 days to wearing this tape since Im not big on wasting applications, not to mention ripping this stuff off hurts. My solution for this was I was going to utilize both KT Tape and knee braces, the KT Tape for those weeks when I knew I would be doing a lot of walking in regular clothes/biking/going up and down stairs/ect and the knee brace for the days when Im not too active. This is my story and I hope this will teach you a little about how KT Tape works, this was my first foray into KT Tape and I would say its been positive. My recommendation is that you buy a roll and give it a shot, see if you like it and if you do integrate it into your schedule, just remember this is not a perfect replacement for braces or other larger means of correction.

I originally ordered this tape to put under my sports bra band as I was getting some major chafing. It worked like a charm and I now use it on every run to prevent chafing. As my mileage has increased while training for a marathon, my feet have really started to hurt towards the end of the runs and throughout the days following. While researching some remedies, I saw a suggestion to use KT tape. I was skeptical but after running a 16 miler was willing to give it a go. Taped up the feet and was astonished at how much better they felt!! I’ve done various types of stretches, soaked them in warm water with epsom salt, tried compression socks. None of that has come close to the relief I got from the tape. KT tape is now one of my must haves for running!

Disappointed in this brand. Did not adhere as easily, nor for as long as other brands. I found Superbe Precut Kinesiology Tape to be less expensive, and works considerably better than all other brands I have tried. Even CVS brand was better for me that the KT brand. Never would have guessed before trying. I play racquetball and perspire heavily. I am able to wear the Superbe brand for 3 days (including showers), while KT only lasted for 1 1/2 days for me with sports & shower. CVS brand lasted 2 days. Hope this helps...

My daughter had the unfortunate luck of dislocating her patella AND tearing her MCL (medial collateral ligament) in a varsity soccer game last year. Her orthopedist, as well as her physical therapist, have been using 1/4 kino tape on her knee for months. Its tiny little pin-stripe looking tape. Well, Ive never once caught on on how to apply that tiny, narrow, skinny little tape. So, due to my failure to figure it out, shes been forced to wear a cumbersome, sweaty, uncomfortable knee brace thus far this soccer season. Then, I saw an online video for KT Tape. I saw the whole knee application and figured Why not? The most Id be out was around $12 on a package of Kino tape that may or may not work/be a disaster. I picked a color that matched her schools colors, as those were their rules for allowing kino tape. It came a few days after ordering. The precut strips come in a neat little easy to seperate roll. They also come with a little booklet with basic instructions, but I am not skilled with the KT tape, so we watched YouTube videos on full knee application. Well, today was the day of truth. We applied the full knee application, rubbed vigorously, and off she went. Two hours, a bunch of mud, and some slide tackles later, I have a review. It works. It was extremely easy to apply in the correct way. Just three strips and we were off. She said her knee felt stabilized all game. Our only complaint would be that it was starting to roll a bit on the ends, but we think that is due to the amount of slide tackles she both dealt and received. She said that peeling it off for a shower was like ripping off a wax strip, so I assume it wouldnt come off in ordianary applications. It didnt rub under her shorts, nor under her socks. So, Id defnitely rate this one a 4 out of 5. Mostly because I wish the fabric had some sort of way to indicate how far a strech was. Guessing is ok, but for someone like me who has no idea what they are doing, shapes on the adhesive might help us to realize when weve acheived 80%, 50%, etc stretch. We will defintely be buying more, as she absoultely loves the idea of not having to wear a full knee brace now.

I recently broke my ankle and love using this as a nice brace
