Waterproof and stays on.

I'm impressed. I bought the tape for breast lymphodaema drainage. It cut into the straps easily, good adhesion and stayed stuck down really well. I tested it and kept it on for 7 days the first time and it was only just starting to come off. I had no sensitivity issues apart from the odd bit of itching. So pleased to find a good tape that is waterproof, stays on and helps with my lymph drainage issue.

Does what it says

Sticks well on my foot on for my plantar fasciitis and broken ankle. The black snd White design is thicker than the colours others I've tried but all tapes work great when you apply on clean dry skin and let to set.
