Review: Excellent gentle removal tape - Much easier on the skin than regular hypafix. I've used a lot of regular Hypafix. It's great. It sticks extremely well, and is flexible and hypoallergenic. Unfortunately it sticks so well it can be difficult to remove. It's not waterproof so every time you need to shower or otherwise get wet you'll need to change it. Frequently changing it was ripping hairs and causing pain and redness. The gentle Hypafix costs significatly more than the regular version, and I wasn't sure if it would be sticky enough stay on. It turns out it is definitely worth the extra cost for anyone with sensitive skin, it removes so easily. It doesn't stay on quite as well as regular Hypafix, but for me it has been staying on well enough. It seems to stick better to skin than to itself, fyi. I also have purchased Mepitac, and I found it did not stick on well enough for areas that would receive any friction - under clothing for example. Also, it is not breathable and it seemed to be creating some kind of allergic reaction. Mepitac is supposed to be good for scars, and I had some success with this use of it before developing the allergic response, but for general bandaging this Hypafix gentle tape works much better and hasn't created any issues. I also purchased 3M gentle surgical tape, in the 2 inch width. This removed gently but would leave behind all its adhesive on my skin which is unpleasant and hard to remove. It also had an unpleasant perfume like odor, which may have been from storage conditions prior to shipping, but could have also been inherent to the adhesive. I also have used a lot of Tegaderm. Tegaderm is great in that it is waterproof, however, I've found that the edges can irritate skin and create more problems than it solves. It's not flexible and works best on areas of the body that do not stretch or move much. So I switched mainly to Hypafix except when I need something waterproof. Now that I've discovered the gentle version, I will primarily use it instead. In conclusion, if you have any difficulties with other tapes being too sticky, not flexible enough, or causing allergic reactions, I can highly recommend this gentle Hypafix tape. It's the best thing I've found so far and would be especially great for kids who hate band-aid removal. Review: SUCCESS, GREAT PURCHASE! - This is the absolute best tape for extremely sensitive and fragile skin. It has been a struggle to find a tape that really works for me, causing no redness, no itching and no welts. While they only have two sizes available, the tape is simple enough to cut to the width/length needed. The tape backing is easy to remove and the tape adheres to the skin with ease and stays in place once you have secured it by gentle pressing to the skin. BONUSES: The tape removes gently, does not pull hair, and leaves NO residue. What a relief it is to have a tape that truly works and remains comfortable all day. ## Features - Wide Area Fixation designed for people with fragile or compromised skin - Soft, silicone, skin-friendly adhesive - Widely used in place of surgical tapes to secure and retain primary dressings on surgical or wound sites. - Repositionable - Atrumatic removal ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07BVY7W85 | | Best Sellers Rank | #149,458 in Health & Household ( See Top 100 in Health & Household ) #218 in First Aid Tape | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (432) | | Date First Available | April 2, 2018 | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item model number | 4347548526 | | Package Dimensions | 2.72 x 2.64 x 2.17 inches; 2.89 ounces | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Hypafix Gentle - **Material:** Silicone - **Size:** 1 Count (Pack of 1) - **Sterility Rating:** Sterile - **Style:** Adhesive ## Images ![Gentle Touch - Soft Silicone Retention Tape for Extremely Fragile and Sensitive Skin (2" X 5 1/2 yd roll) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71B4dpquwZL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent gentle removal tape *by T***D on November 12, 2018* Much easier on the skin than regular hypafix.

I had surgery and my wounds have become delayed in healing so I need to keep them covered at all times. The paper tape would literally tear my skin off at each dressing change. I started using the blue silicone tape for sensitive skin and it did the exact same thing. This was while changing dressings twice a day. Finally I thought I would give this a try seeing as they advertised it for use in infants and elderly. This is one of the best things I have found. There is no pain in removal, no pulling and most importantly, no tearing of my sensitive skin. It allows some breathing but it is so soft and holds the dressings in place very well. The only thing I noticed that I don't care for is that it does not stick to itself very well. If I overlap the tape with a second piece, the overlap peels off but I just clip it off so it's not really a big issue. I highly recommend this tape for the most sensitive of skin types. I have purchased several boxes and never had any issues with it. ## Frequently Bought Together - Hypafix Gentle Touch - Soft Silicone Retention Tape for Extremely Fragile and Sensitive Skin (2" X 5 1/2 yd roll) - Hypafix Gentle Touch - Soft Silicone Retention Tape for Extremely Fragile and Sensitive Skin (4" X 5 1/2 yd roll) - Vashe Wound Solution OTC | Pure Hypochlorous Acid-Preserved Wound Cleanser | Home Wound Care | Non-Cytotoxic and Skin-Neutral pH | 8.5 Fl Oz --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/67410231-gentle-touch-soft-silicone-retention-tape-for-extremely-fragile-sensitive](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/67410231-gentle-touch-soft-silicone-retention-tape-for-extremely-fragile-sensitive) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-07*
