Kinesiology Tape - 5m Roll of Elastic Water Resistant Tape for Support & Muscle Recovery - Quality Sports Tape (Purple)

ETA April 2025: Bought again for the Nth time (I've no idea, honestly). This time, I've overused my knee, rowing, and this tape is my go-to for support. Same top-quality, great price. I've bought this tape several times over the years and have always been pleased with it. It sticks well and stays stuck for several days, even with showering and physical activity. I have a weak foot from a fracture when I was young, and this tape provides the support when my foot gives me trouble. It's also a very good price. For all of that, I decided to try another brand recently, purely because I fancied a different colour (I usually buy the dark blue). While the other brand seemed identical, it was thinner, the adhesion was poorer, and the adhesive irritated my skin. In conclusion, not all kinesiology tapes are equal, and in my opinion, this is the superior brand in terms of value and quality.

Reviews are not normally my thing but I had to say something about this product. I suffer from lower leg pain which could be shin splints and I have tried icing, foam rollers, rest, stretching and heat but none to work. What was left to try was K tape and I used it once but because of the conditions (lots and lots of mud and deep puddles) the tape did the job until I got home and it had started to lose its stick (this could have been how I used it in the first place) and I had to take it off in the shower and that was a little painful because of leg hairs. Roll on 2 days and I used it again and this time even after showering, the K tape remained in place. I have used this for 2 runs and have had no lower leg pain, so will continue to use this for the time being. There are specific ways of taping so I checked that out before applying. This tape may not work for everyone but for me, it did. 17km and no lower leg pain is a great step forward and what is even better is they say, you can wear this for 7 days and then it might lose its stick so I will see.

Recently bought this to support my plantar fasciitis which had gotten worse this year. I bought it as was travelling to the USA for a few weeks and needed the support and relief for my foot as I knew I would be doing alot of walking. I’ve bought other brands before but found issues with the tape not staying put! However not only does the support made a huge difference for the relief of my symptoms but the tape stayed on for over 5 days despite plenty of pool activities. My uncle in Florida also had the same issue and luckily I brought my roll of tape with me. I used it on his heel and arch and he was so impressed I had to leave him my roll of tape . Definitely a fab product and really does support the arch and heel. I’m almost pain free now and whilst I didn’t expect a magic cure , it’s really made a huge difference with the amount of pain I was having and the relief I now have. Couldn’t recommend anymore. The instructions sent after purchase was really helpful in explaining how to apply the tape to ensure it sticks. Had to buy a second roll last weekend since I left my previous one with uncle.

This kinesiology tape was recommended by my physiotherapist for my shoulder injury which I was told would be a slow repair. To be honest, I was sceptical but after using the tape over a couple of weeks, I notice my shoulder is less painful because the tape provides gentle resistance if I attempt to over-extend my arm or lift heavy items e.g. shopping bags, grandkids. The tape is waterproof and is easily removed. Not so positive is the adhesive that remains when the tape is removed. It's a bit of a nuisance. The tape must be cut into shape. I wish it was available in brown. I would recommend this product.

This tape uses to be excellent, have bought this brand for a whole. However they seem to have changed the specifications, it feels thinner and peeled pretty quickly during a run, happened a few times consistently, so not an application issue. Hopefully just a bad roll. Normally I swear by this stuff, it normally sticks incredibly well and gives great support. I get some skin irritation if I don't remove it after 24-48 hours.
