Review: Finally—a medical tape that holds firm but won't tear your skin - This is an essential addition to any first aid kit. It uses a proprietary silicone adhesive that provides a secure, reliable hold even on hairy areas, yet it lifts away cleanly and absolutely painlessly. It’s perfect for sensitive skin or for wounds that require frequent dressing changes. The tape is breathable, water-resistant, and incredibly easy to tear in both directions—no scissors required. It provides a level of comfort and "pain-free" removal that standard athletic or paper tapes just can't match.
Review: Well worth the price - It works real well for me. I have been using a cpap for 20 years, over the nose, and untill I got this tape my mouth would drop open when I went to sleep and the air hissing out from my mouth would wake me up several times a night. The tape sticks and is easy to put o and easy to take off. I am able to us the same strip two and some times even three nights in a row. I recommend it.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is the tape latex free?**
A: Yes

**Q: Is this tape latex free?**
A: Unknown.  A lot of the Nexcare first aid items are, so it is possible.

**Q: Can someone show the back of the package so we can distinguish this from other Nexcare tapes?**
A: I don’t think so.

**Q: Price says pack of 6 for $6.03. Can anyone confirm how many they got when ordering 1 pack?**
A: I ordered 2 expecting to get a total of 12 rolls because it clearly said "Pack of 6" (I even have a screenshot of it). The order was shipped to me from 2 different places at 2 different times. The first package I received had 3 rolls in it and the second package I received had 6 rolls in it. I contacted amazon and asked if they could please send me the 3 rolls that I was missing from the first package, well I just recieved the package and it only had 1 roll in it, so I guess I'll contact them again to ask them to send me the 2 rolls that I am still missing.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nexcare vs "X" style individual tape strips
*by I***C on February 13, 2025*

I've been using the plastic "X" style tape for over 1.5 years and switched to Nexcare 3 weeks ago. I like it so much more than the individual X tapes. I highly recommend trying out Nexcare as mouth tape while sleeping. Cost: This is a no-brainer. The plastic "X" style tape strips individual tape strips are very expensive. Nexcare is cheap *and* the roll looks like it's going to last a very long time. Ease of use: Nexcare is on a roll and can be easily torn with fingers alone. The edge of the roll is easy to find and pull up because the tape has a little bit of thickness. So, getting a piece just before sleeping is quick and easy. The plastic "X" style tape strips require some fidgeting with the paper or plastic that the strip comes on, and I almost always ended up bending a corner of it onto itself. Feel: Nexcare is soft to the point where I forget it is on my lips at all. The stiff plastic "X" style tape strips are not very comfortable and could make my lips a bit itchy at times. Reapplying: The Nexcare tape is super sticky and easy to apply and reapply -- I sip water about 2x per night. The X tapes did not stick as well after reapplying, but the Nexcare is just as good. Lip balm: I can also apply some lip balm to the corners of my mouth when needed after putting on the Nexcare tape, and only the edges of the tape lose their stickiness. When I tried that with the plastic "X" style strips, the entire tape would lose its stickiness almost immediately. Residue: Some reviews said they get a residue on their lips after taking the Nexcare off. I haven't experienced that. It's possible that some rolls have this problem and others do not. Or that it's very sensitive to heat, and that occurs after too much heat exposure. I'm only guessing, though. Customizability: Since you tear off a piece of Nexcare tape with your fingers, you can customize it to the perfect length for your lips. I only cover about an inch of my lips, so I could always breathe through the corners of my mouth while sleeping, if necessary (but this hasn't happened). The plastic "X" style strips are one size only. Trust: The companies that sell the plastic "X" style strips change all the time. I could never buy the same product twice (3+ months apart) because they would disappear, only to be replaced by another company and a different-looking product. Nexcare is made by 3M, which has been around for decades and is used in medical settings. I trust the ingredients of Nexcare much more because of that.
