KT Tape, Pro Extreme Synthetic Kinesiology Athletic Tape, 20 Count, 10” Precut Strips

My youth basketball player sprained her foot and we bought this to help relieve the pain. She said it was comfortable and made a huge difference and wasn’t in pain. It lasted through a full day of tournament sweating, running and “planting. “

Pros: it works!Cons: not at all waterproofI’m giving it 5 stars because it works. I have had plantar fasciitis in my left foot for 2+ years now. I have done everything I can think of to help it. Insoles, shoes, sleeping in a boot, other wraps and contraptions, ice, heat, stretches. You name it Ive done it. I’ve finally given up on trying to help it and quit looking for stuff for a year. Then, This tape randomly came across my FB and I decided to read the comments. I seen the raving reviews but was skeptical because every other thing I’ve purchased had just as good of reviews. I figured what’s another 15$ down the hole at this point.After the first initial taping it was miraculously better. I don’t know what sorcery this is but I’m so glad I gave it a shot! My pain is gone! I’ve had it a week and I haven’t stopped taping myself yet. I want to use it for a while in hopes it might correct the issue. The only downfall is that it is NOT waterproof or water resistant. I have to shower everyday, and the second I step in the shower it slides right off. That does make for easy peeling if you are ready for it to be off, because when it’s dry it sticks so well. It’s not great when you are wanting it on for a few days to not have to buy so much. I’ve done the prep- shaving, exfoliating, making sure the area is clean, even cleaned area with alcohol. Then once on I rub it real good. As long as I keep it’s dry It stays on perfectly fine for a few days. Some parts still stick okay when wet, but not enough to be able to salvage it and wear another day. I’ve tried wrapping my foot up to keep it dry but water still manages to get in and ultimately ruins the wrap. I won’t reduce the stars just for the fact it is the only thing on this planet to help so far. I don’t know how long I can afford to keep using 2-3 pieces a day though.

I was recently prescribed to wear a ZIO XT heart monitoring device. it fell off on the second day of wearing it, as their adhesive just doesn’t work for me. I sweat a lot and while riding my elliptical machine it came off. I reapplied it several times, but it kept coming off. Normal surgical tape, even the waterproof brand, just wouldn’t work for more than 24 hours. And the device adhesive, nor the surgical tape, could stay on after showering, which I do twice a day as a plumber.I found this product on Amazon. I’m glad I did. It is extremely comfortable, and keeps the device on for several days. I can shower in it, and work up a real sweat, and the device will not come off. In fact, the tape has not failed me yet, I just replace it with a new tape every few days.I would highly recommend this product for anyone, trying to stick something to their body while being active, sweating, and showering.

It's definitely a stronger, more supportive hold than the regular KT tape. It also sticks for way longer (if you try to take it off before it's ready to come off, you'll notice, trust me!). The only thing I dislike is that the edges fray easily. They actually come out of the box a little frayed already. So a little sloppy looking. Maybe I got a weird box? Overall good enough to order again though.

Works really well for support and pain relief. The tape stays on through workouts and showers if applied properly, and it feels durable. Easy to cut and apply, though make sure skin is clean and dry for best adhesion. Definitely helps with sore muscles and joints.

The KT Tape Pro is VERY adhesive! So much so that it is difficult to remove all of it when I take it off. Rubbing alcohol works though! It has helped during my workouts tremendously! It is not water proof but the original KT Tape was.

My daughter is a main base in Varsity cheer as well as a competitive dancer. We tape shoulders and knees pretty often. This helps her tremendously with pain reduction as well as the overall feeling of support when the tape is placed. It is a "must" have in her cheer and dance bag. Also, it stays put!

More expensive than the regular or pro tape and about as adhesive if not less. The advertising states that it will last up to 4 days but it barely held on through a 6 mile bike ride and it came off easy in the shower. Not at all what I was expecting. I will say it dries much faster and having the skin colors is nice when I want the extra support wearing heels the day after a long run. Save your self some money and go buy the regular or the pro tape as it's cheaper for that same quality.KT tape has always been my go-to for plantar facietis pain, and the offer plenty of tutorials for a wide range of uses. They no longer ship the roles in a plastic container (I knew I should have kept one of those lol) so they tend to unravel easily but the strips tear easy and are great for backpacks and workout bags.
