KT Tape Pro Synthetic

This tape is brilliant! I had previously bought tape from a leading chemist, at the same sort of price (they've reduced it recently!), and it was much flimsier and nowhere near as sticky as KT PRO Tape. Having had major knee problems most of my adult life, it's brilliant to find something that supports my knees, and can help my quads take the strain, as I still play 5-a-side. As well as the support, its adherence to the skin is impressive. You can shower and it will remain stuck (I think following the instructions about rubbing the tape when first putting it on seems important in this respect). I haven't tried keeping the tape on for much more than 1 and a half days, but I can imagine that it would last the 3/4 days people claim. I'm totally sold on this tape, and would highly recommend it.

I have been taped whilst playing tennis since May this year - after 11 months out with tennis elbow. Only buy this Pro version, the same manufacturer's original tape does not stay on the skin for very long. Do ensure that the area to be taped is freshly washed and completely dry before applying. My physio advises to apply each end with no tension, and the middle 90% of the tape with a degree of tension. If you make the entire strip of tape tight, then again it will start to peel off the skin quite quickly. Best of all the tapes I have tried.

I bought this tape on the recommendation of other Amazonians, to replace the neoprene knee supports I had been wearing. The objective was to progress during rehab of my knee - (no my knee doesn't drink or take drugs, it was an injury to the illiotibial band) - and I found the tape gave my outer knee good support without the restrictive and heavy feeling you get from neoprene supports. My only gripe is I couldn't get more than one or two sessions from each application, it kept peeling off, so could end up quite expensive in the long run - now where's my staple gun....................

I’ve used this brand for years. Dodgy wrists. Knee. Ankle. Weirdly I always keep buying the purple pre cut ones. I’ve tried other colours as black and green and for some weird reason they don’t seem to stick as long??? Weird. Maybe it’s a fluke but purple always seems to work best for me so I’m sticking with it (no pun intended). Top tips for success... 1) Shave, clean and dry the area properly for at least 30 mins. This helps it stick properly and you don’t scream when you pull it off a few days later. 2) Cut strips into half if possible. When I’m dealing with my knee I cut them into two and round off the edges with a sharp pair of scissors. It helps them stick better and the tape lasts longer as you’re using less. You don’t always need to use the whole piece and sometimes when I do I feel more support when I overlap the layers. If you mess it up try again. Oh and don’t touch the sticky area as it won’t last as long. 3) Watch YouTube. There are lots of videos on YouTube from physio etc on how to apply tape for knees, elbows and every joint in your body. Failing that I took some to a physiotherapist and asked them to apply it properly for my condition and I’ve copied it ever since. Don’t be put off everyone. Try it and let me know if I’m right by giving me a ‘helpful’. Hope it relieves your pain and discomfort as it has mine.

The adhesive is pretty bad, it's supposed to last up to 7 days but in reality it's more like 12 hours.

I was a little skeptical about trying this product as I couldn't really see how attaching tape to your skin could have any effect on the muscles. I recently pulled my calf muscle whilst jogging and it's a recurring injury that I get quite often and it usually lays me up for weeks. Out of desperation, I thought I'd give KT tape a try, but I wasn't really expecting any results. The tape is relatively easy to apply, but it's very important to follow the instructions to the letter to get the best results. I had to shave the back of my leg to ensure the tape stuck to my calf as any sign of hairs and the tape has no chance of sticking. Also, take your time when applying ensuring you don't touch the sticky side with your fingers and rub the tape down firmly to ensure it sticks. With the leg prepared, I find the tape stays on for about 3 - 4 days and that includes showering twice a day. First off, I though the tape was having no effect, but after 3 days of wearing, I noticed the pain in my calf reducing considerably. After 6 days, my calf was good enough to start jogging again and after 10 days, I have no indication of any calf injury whatsoever and am back to running 7km 3 - 4 times a week. Now, bearing in mind that before applying the tape, I could hardly put any weight on my injured leg and was limping badly and that this recurring injury usually puts me out of running for 6 - 8 weeks, the results really do seem to have been amazing! I'm now a believer in KT tape and will definitely use it again on future injuries.

Purchased for my sons Osgood Schlatter on his knee. The strips are a bit too long in my opinion. The tape doesnt last a day. If sweating, it peels. If not sweating it peels. No chance it withstands a shower. The edging frays. We have other tapes from other brands and they adhere better. Also would prefer if it was thicker. Disappointed.

I used it on my knees. It was great.

Last for 4-5 days, give bit support

I have been using many tapes, but this is the BEST I ever had, so its worth the higher price. If you tape it over a tape it still sticks, lasting for long and stays in tact during swimming or in the shower. Plus for some tapes I have allergy to the glue, with this I had no problem. Awesome product!

Prodotto ottimo e conforme alla descrizione!Consigliato!

We use this tape for injured athletes, we chose the orange because it was cheaper than the other colours. Not sure why but the colour doesn't make a difference on the product. Came as promised and on time
