KT Tape, Original Cotton, Elastic Kinesiology Athletic Tape, 16’ Uncut Roll

I recently got the Care Science Waterproof Kinesiology Tape for my daughter, who is a dedicated cheerleader, and it’s been a fantastic addition to her training and recovery routine. Here’s why: What We Loved: - Effective Support: This tape provides excellent support for muscles and joints, helping to reduce pain and enhance performance during her cheer practices and competitions. My daughter noticed immediate relief in her knee. - Waterproof and Durable: One of the best features is its waterproof nature. Whether she’s sweating during intense practice or taking a shower, the tape stays firmly in place without peeling off. - Comfortable Wear: The tape is breathable and comfortable to wear for extended periods. It doesn’t cause any skin irritation, even after prolonged use, which is great for her sensitive skin. - Easy Application: The tape is easy to apply, with clear instructions included. The precut strips are convenient and save time, especially when she’s in a rush before practice. - Flexible and Adaptable: It moves with her body, providing support without restricting movement. This flexibility makes it ideal for various cheerleading activities, from stunts to tumbling. - Adhesive Strength: While the tape is generally strong, there were a few times it started to peel at the edges after a few days of use. Reapplying or using additional adhesive might be necessary for extended wear. - Removal: Taking off the tape can be a bit uncomfortable, especially for her sensitive skin. It's best to do it slowly and gently to avoid irritation. The Care Science Waterproof Kinesiology Tape has been a reliable companion for my daughter's cheerleading activities. It offers the right balance of support and comfort, helping her stay injury-free and perform at her best. Despite minor issues with adhesive strength and removal, the overall benefits make it a worthwhile product. If you or a loved one need effective, durable support for muscles and joints, I highly recommend trying this kinesiology tape. It’s exactly what my daughter needed to enhance her cheerleading performance and recovery!

I've been using KT Tape Original Cotton for six months now, and it has completely transformed my workout recovery routine. As someone who deals with recurring knee pain from running, this tape has been a game-changer. The 16-foot uncut roll gives you incredible flexibility to customize the length and application for any body part or injury type. I love that I can cut exactly what I need without waste. The cotton material feels natural against the skin and breathes wonderfully during intense workouts - no sticky, sweaty mess like I experienced with synthetic alternatives. What impressed me most is the adhesive strength. This tape stays put through multiple showers, swimming sessions, and sweaty gym workouts for up to 5 days. When it's time to remove it, it comes off cleanly without leaving residue or irritating my skin. The elastic properties provide just the right amount of support without restricting natural movement. The therapeutic benefits are remarkable. I notice significantly less soreness and better circulation in taped areas. Whether I'm using it for preventive support before a long run or recovery after an intense leg day, the results are consistently impressive. For the price point, you're getting professional-grade quality that rivals what physical therapists use. The uncut format means this roll lasts forever compared to pre-cut strips. Highly recommend for athletes, weekend warriors, or anyone dealing with chronic pain issues.

This KT TAPE is the best I’ve ever used. It’s easy to apply and easy to peel off. It stretches perfectly so that you need less and it holds wonderfully. I just ordered three more. My knee is happy and out of pain when the tape is applied. Love it!!!

I liked that it is a thin tape and can easily worn under socks. It is rather sticky so you want to make sure to leave some paper on the ends to apply it, ( like a band aid). I also found the smell a bit off putting. I was using it to provide support for plantar fasciitis and kept it on for 48 hours on both feet, including during a 4-mile walk the second day. However, I have since learned that keeping the plantar fascia in a stretched or static position, which I was doing with this tape, may not be helpful for this condition, according to Dr Angela. (short, active stretches are better for long term cure). It felt okay the first day but did not seem to make any difference the second.

Works great for me.

My wife had a stroke and we use the tape on her shoulder to hold it in place and the tape holds up really well. We use baby oil to get the tape and adhesive off when it’s time to change the tape. Have been really impressed with it.

I tried both KT Original Cotton and KT Pro tapes for a problem with both of my knees (likely meniscus tears at different stages of healing). I was tired of the uncomfortable brace and compression sleeve that I'd been using. One knee was almost healed, while the other was strong enough that I could make the switch to tape. I opted for the uncut roll because I didn't want to be locked into 10" strips, which seemed too long for use on my knee. That turned out to be a good decision; I always ended up using less than 10" because of the tape's stretch. I used the KT tape under work clothes, not for exercise. The Original Cotton was good for one day of wear, even if I skipped a shower on a weekend. The edges of the tape would roll up under my jeans. Aside from the edges, the adhesion was okay. I found the KT Pro to be much better for me. Adhesion was great -- it would last 2 - 3 days. After a shower I would use a blow drier to partially dry the tape and then let it air dry while I finished getting ready for work. On my "better" knee, the tape made it feel as if there was no problem at all. It was wonderful to be walking around at work and realizing there was no pain in the one knee. Ultimately, I'm back on the knee brace I hate because it's going to take a few weeks longer for the other knee to heal. I could keep using the tape, but it would end up being the cost of several knee braces by the time I'm fully healed. If you want to try the KT tape, I suggest the KT Pro is worth the few extra dollars because it'll last longer.

I have a foot injury (ripped tendons under my toes) and am trying to put off getting surgery so I use a lot of KT Tape. It is a fantastic product. It helps support my injury in a way that is hard to describe if you have never used it. It pulls the skin tight and supports the muscle wherever you have an injury or just need extra muscle support. I highly recommend giving it a try if you haven't. Also, KT tape is the original and this is the best product in my opinion. There are lots of knock offs out there that don't stick as well in my opinion.
