all good

This is excellent tape. However, it is not waterproof as the information says and comes straight off in the shower. It has a good stretch on it.

I use this to support my Achilles tendinitis. I have this on my skin for up to 5 days and shower every day. Stays on when I swim for 45 minutes and then is easy to peel off. Otherwise I do find it takes time to take of and can bruise my skin. I have found that it does not irritate my skin especially as I do have sensitive skin. Seeing as it’s pre-cut I am surprised that it frays at the edges and requires snipping off.

First week of January I fell down some steps and tore ligaments in my ankle (not a good start to 2017). A month off work and confined to 'desk duties' three months later and it still hasn't healed fully. I've only just recently stopped using a stick, but the ankle is still weak with walking.Kinesiology tape is something I had heard of, but didn't know much about apart from the strips of what looked like coloured tape on Olympic athletes. Without going into the scientific principles behind the tape (neuromuscular feedback?), the tape supposedly 'relieves pain and supports muscles and joints', so I was eager to give it a try.There's a fold out instruction sheet with details and picture to show how to use the tape correctly, but I had more luck with the online videos (especially the one about ankle sprains). As the tape is pre-cut into (almost) 10 inch strips it's pretty simple to work out the method without wasting tape. I did like the 'twist to easy tear' backing paper that made things easy.So, I showered, then shaved my ankle (preferable to pulling leg hairs afterwards) before strapping up and it only a minute or so watching the video. In use, I spent the day in London, walking around with a wheelie bag of heavy office kit and standing for several hours. This was the longest I'd been on my feet for weeks. At the end of the day my ankle was feeling good and as I didn't have any instances of undue motion of the ankle, it wasn't too sore at all. The tape stayed on for several days only to practically fall off in the shower. Over nights with a sock covering the tape, the glue stayed put.I'm no athlete, but I do believe this tape has helped my weak ankle. Worthwhile shopping around to find the best deal on the tape, unless you prefer the convenience of pre-cut lengths.

Fantastic product - lasts days even with daily showersI have used to to help recover an mcl tear in my knee and now a bad ankle sprain. I am a climber and this product has helped me get back to it sooner as I can still wear my tight shoes over the kt tape so I have great support.I have used other brands and had blisters and reactions to the adhesive. However I’ve used kt tape for years and never had a reactionCan’t recommend it enough!

I found this tape very disappointing. The adhesion to skin is poor, even after shaving and cleaning my knee it started to peel off at the ends and within 20 minutes of moderate exercise it was useless. I thought I would give it another go but only to get the same result. I have gone back to my normal tape at a fraction of the price. This tape is supposed to be extreme and stay on for 4-7 days. In my experience you will be lucky to get 4-7 hours. Will not buy again.

Having bought this excellent product from a well know high street chemist's last year I decided to continue using it as it's the best I've used as a Sports physio. It's more expensive than other brands but my clients were happy with the long lasting, anti curl properties.I have been using it myself to tape my calf and knee. Used correctly it's brilliant.Rather than visit the high Street I bought this pack from Amazon, but unfortunately on both of my runs the round edges curled, therefore reducing any effect I was trying to achieve. Also, I could get exactly the same performance from a brand at a quarter of the price.I've ordered a replacement in the hope that the batch I've been using is faulty and the quality I'd hoped for will be present in my next pack.
