## Description

hy-tape is the answer when an adhesive must remain on the skin for an extended period of time, or will come in contact with moisture or fluids.

Review: If you have a tape adhesive allergy this is the tape for you! - This is the ONLY tape I have used in my entire life (I am 60) that does not cause my skin to redden, and break out with blisters. It really truly is a godsend for me. I have a gastrostomy tube (low profile "button" type peg tube) and, I am very prone to granulation tissue, the only way to keep the granulation from forming is for me to have a very stable feeding tube, Friction seems to be my #1 enemy when it comes to granulation tissue i.e. proud flesh. I had a Corflo brand cuBBY for a few months, and it was stable enough on its own, just by virtue of its design, to where I had no need to tape it. But, I'm back to the Kimberly Clark Mic-key brand now, and unless I keep it taped - as in immobile - granulation slowly but surely comes back. So, coupling that propensity with a tape allergy, you can easily understand why I am thrilled beyond words to find the HY tape. I read many reviews on desertcart, not only for this particular Hy-tape sold in the one inch width, but other sizes and amounts as well. Here are a few things to think about. 1) In reference to the very few comments that said the tape they received was not the same as the HY tape they purchase at their local medical supplies store...Unless the person states in their review which vendor on desertcart actually was the store they purchased their tape from, there is no was for others to really make an informed decision as to whether they want to risk purchasing a counterfeit product. For example, right now there are 6 different vendors selling the two inch wide Hy tape on desertcart, The one inch, in pack of three rolls, is sold by four vendors at the time of this review being written. So, you can see the difficulty in determining which vendor sold a tape that did not perform correctly, but, a blanket assumption that all HY tape sold on desertcart is not up to standards would be an incorrect assumption. From personal experience, as a long time Prime member, I try to purchase products that are Prime eligible, if for no other reason that easy refunds if I do get a dud that is defective, or a fake, etc. I did have a problem with a defective order of tape purchased from an desertcart vendor (tape was wound only on about half the width of the spool, rest was hanging off, stuck together, and completely unusable) There were no problems with a return (again, Prime purchase). 2) HY tape is not pink (neither here nor there, but thought I'd put it out there) Its a brightish orangy kind of "bandaid" color. No, its not pretty, its really not. 3) There are stickier tapes out there. If you don't have a tape allergy (and I'm talking about the adhesive on tape, not a latex allergy, although HY is latex free) then other tapes will probably perform better for you if you need strong adhesion. 4) Once the tape warms up to your skin temperature, it sticks better. And, it has to be applied to clean dry skin. After it is stuck there, it can then get wet, etc. But it has to stick well first. The following is copy and pasted from the Hy tape website: "Hy-Tape's zinc oxide-based adhesive is soothing to delicate skin, and removes with minimum trauma, thereby reducing the chance of skin tears and tape burns. Hy-Tape eliminates the need for skin prep, and its thermal adhesion properties provide maximum adhesion at body temperature without becoming more aggressive as acrylic-based adhesive tapes do. Hy-Tape is perfect for extended-wear adhering securely to wet, oily or hairy skin. It removes easily without discomfort or irritation, leaving little or no residue. With Hy-Tape, skin stays healthy and intact... Hy-Tape has the unique quality of providing maximum adhesion when it reaches body temperature, without getting more aggressive or breaking down over time as acrylic-based adhesive tapes do...Although no skin prep is required for application, skin must be initially clean & oil free. Hy•Tape® will then remain in place in the presence of drainage, perspiration, humidity, and oily skin. It’s thin and exible, conforms to body contours, and remarkably, it’s just as easily removed from sensitive skin. Hy•Tape® is Latex-free, zinc oxide based and non-allergenic. Most importantly, it won’t break down over time, so skin remains intact and healthy." So, to summarize, if you can't use tape due to adhesive sensitivity, this is a great tape for you! If, on the other hand, you just need a waterproof dressing, there are some wonderful very solid sticking tapes and films out there to choose from, such as Tegaderm and Smith & Nephew OpSite Flexifix Transparent Film. If you go to the Hy Tape website, you can request a sample of the tape be sent out to you.You can also purchase directly from them at a SUBSTANTIAL savings compared to purchasing via desertcart or another online reseller. If you only need a roll or two, due to short term need, then desertcart is the way to go, but, if you have an ongoing need, then consider purchasing in bulk from HY tape.
Review: Great if you know how to apply/use it - This product is great if you use it correctly. I have a scar on my elbow and was going to Hawaii. I needed it to protect from sun rays. When applying you have to make sure your skin is washed. Meaning no lotions (even lotion from the night before), otherwise the product will not adhere. If you clean it thoroughly and then dry it by blotting it dry, then you can apply the strip onto your scar. It worked very well even when I went to the beach and anorkeled all day.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is tnis cotton or rayon?**
A: I'm not sure about cotton or rayon. What I do know is that it doesn't work. Was supposed to be waterproof. It is not. Does not stick well. I would not purchase again.

**Q: Is the Hy-Tape stretchy?**
A: No, as you pull the tape to stretch it, the tape will start to deform along the stretch and not return to the original shape.

**Q: Is this choice SPF?**
A: I dont recall seeing that on the packaging. However it is not very sticky. It wouldn't stick to my skin very long. I was using it to seal a bag to my skin for showering and it came off with 5 min of being in the water. Personally do not recommend.

**Q: Is this skin blending so it’s not obvious on my face?**
A: Yes; I think it's intended to be "skin color"....it's pretty discreet.
