> 3 dayI normally dont write reviews on items I bought online. But in this case, I have to let all the competitive recreational and semi-pro athletes know...if you suffer from any kind of acute or chronic muscular, tendon or other orthopedic injuries, you need to try this tape. Im a competitive triathlete, and about 9 months ago after an olympic distance triathlon, both of my achilles tendons and the retrocalcaneal bursa got badly inflamed. Since then, I tried everything to get rid off the inflammation...short-term rest, ice therapy, I lifted the heels with insoles, changed the shoes, elastic bandages, local and systemic NSAIDs, physical therapy, regular taping, and finally I ended up with sleeping in these bulky night splints (which was btw the worst experience I have ever made). But nothing worked. The pain after every workout and in the morning was excruciating, my heels were red and swollen all the time. Of course, the orthopedist to take off of exercising for 6-9 months, but he couldnt guarantee that it would be gone by then nor if it could come back. Well, I couldnt rest for 9 month, no way:-) SO I have almost given it up and just ignored the pain and the swelling, when a friend of mine gave me a product sample of the KT tape that she got at one of these races. And of course, as desperated as I was, I used the tape right after I watched on youtube how to apply the tape for achilles tendon problems. And the result was stunning. Right after the first few days, the swelling decreased, the pain was less severe and I could stop taking NSAIDs. This tape provided a supportive feeling at each workout. I was so impressed, I couldnt believe it after all these months of suffering. The tape sticks as described for 3-4 days even with tough workouts every day, when you handle it gently. It survives daily sweating and short hot showers. Even if it looks a little loose after the shower, it will stick tightly after it is dry. I also keep the tape on on my rest days, because it just supports the entire mechanics of my heels while walking around. Im using the KT tape now for 3 months, and my symptoms are almost gone. Only after very tough workouts, I can feel some pain. However they returned after I have forgotten to tape one time. So finally, I cannot live without the KT tape anymore :-)

> 3 dayI inadvertently forgot to mention that the KT tape bruised my leg, and took almost 2 weeks for the bruise to go away. Mea culpa.

> 3 dayI have really bad planter fasciitis and have been using KT tape for sore muscles for years. It’s really great and works well but at the price point, having to use 3 strands every day wasn’t great. I wish it was a little stickier so it could last a few days even with showering.

> 3 dayDisappointed 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...

Greater than one weekI used this for tendonitis on the top of my foot. You have to apply it correctly for proper results. Watched a video on how to adhere the tape. I work out everyday and am on my feet all day at work. Within a few days, the pain and swelling went down. Highly recommend!
