KT Tape Original Cotton

Far superior to the other tapes on the market. It's stretchy, sticky and works great for what I need it for!I find that if I exercise the moment that I put the tape on, it's more likely to come off quickly so I like to put it on about an hour prior to exercise. Lasts a long time if I use it this way.

Great tape does a good job of stabilising joints. I have rheumatoid arthritis and my knees give out before the rest of my body does so I thought I try this type for my couch to 5K. A rookie error the first time round meant that the tape didn’t stick particularly well on my first attempt on my left leg however the tape on my right knee has been on for four days now and weathered many showers and still supporting my knee. For £12 you can’t really go wrong 20 strips is about the size of a roll of tape anyway and so I bought another box. I’m interested to see how long the tape lasts for. Yes you could spend less with knee braces or supports however the problem with them is that often you are always pulling them up halfway through your workout and decent ones can be very bulky.

Excellent tape. Sticks easily, stays put. Don't notice it's on during activity, hopefully providing the benefits it's designed for. Easy to remove and leaves no residue. Stays quite wet, so a different type needed if using for activities where it may become moist.

Recommended by a friend, tried this for my dodgy knee, we do a fair bit of walking and this really helps. Only issue is I have trouble sticking it down properly and parts start to come away. Maybe more practice. I bought this size as a trial but will probably get a bigger role now. I had an elastic knee support which helps but the tape is a lot better. You can keep it on in the shower so lasts longer than one wear, just need to ensure edges are all stuck down properly.

Purchased this K8 tape as its was the most reasonably priced, give instructions how to apply, and easy to use. Definitely felt a difference after 24hrs

Absolutely rubbish, doesn't stick very well. States to remove after 3 days, mine needs replacing after 5 hours as comes undone. If you get it wet it falls off.

Although I did like the tape it would just not stick and would fall off as soon as I started any exercise. I did not have this problem with other brands of kinesiology tape.

I'm new to kinesiology tape and I tried three strips on my lower back and iliac area to see what became of an annoying and undiagnosed 'catch' in my SI region. I walked to town with no pain, took the tape off for an acupuncture session and immediately went back to pain when I walked back. Was it the tape that worked? Was it the acupuncture that irritated things again? Who knows, but I'll be trying the tape for more areas.
