Kinesiology Tape, Uncut Roll, Waterproof Muscle Support | Hypoallergenic, 32 ft Uncut, 2 Pack, Supports Wrist Knee Shoulder & Back, Plantar Fasciitis Relief, Sweat Resistant

I’ve been really impressed with the Hampton Adams Premium Kinesiology Tape. The adhesive is strong enough to stay on through workouts and even showers, but it doesn’t irritate my skin when I remove it. It provides great support without restricting movement, which is exactly what you want from kinesiology tape. The material feels durable and flexible, and it’s easy to cut and apply. Overall, it’s a reliable, high-quality option that performs just as well as more expensive brands.

I rarely give reviews on products purchased on Amazon, but I wanted to rave about this product and its performance relative to KT tape. I had purchased the KT Tape (KT Tape Original Cotton Elastic Kinesiology Therapeutic Athletic Tape, 20 Pack, 10” Cut Strips) and was extremely frustrated with the KT tape peeling off within the first 20-30 mins of my run. I used the KT product to tape my knee and was very diligent in cleaning the skin using alcohol, and even used a razor to shave around my knee after this peeled off the first couple of times. Made no difference and 20 mins into my run I would have the KT tape strips flapping around my knee!! :( This KT tape was touted to stay on 1-3 days and is pretty pricey relative to other brands. I decided to try (Hampton Adams (2 Pack) Kinesiology Tape for Physical Therapy Sports Athletes – Latex Free Elastic, 16ft Water Resistant Kinetic Uncut Kinesio Tape for Knee Pain, Elbow & Shoulder Muscle - Black). This tape backing is well marked (solid blue lines every 2 inches) and I cut 2 10 inch strips and one 5 inch strip, taped my right knee for full support, exactly the same way I had applied the KT tape. I did not use alcohol to clean the skin, or even shave. I could tell right away the adhesion was superior, and the elasticity was active. I went out for a 6 mile run which usually takes me 55-60 mins and lo and behold, no peeling issues whatsoever. I got back home, went in the shower and the tape was holding firm. I am continuing to wear the tape for the rest of the day and no sign of peeling whatsoever (FYI i rounded the edges of the tape with scissors when cutting). I am incredibly impressed with the performance and I think part of my enthusiasm is from the disappointment and frustration I got from the KT tape. What a flop for a highly touted not to mention expensive KT product! I figured it shouldn't be that hard to make tape with sufficient adhesion to last through 30 mins to an hour workout, leave alone a day or 2. There is an option to purchase a more expensive KT pro tape for better adhesion but surely! This Hampton Adams tape is less expensive and performs much much much better than the KT original cotton tape. Very very pleased! Knee support is excellent and my knee feels stable with pain significantly reduced. (note I have never used kinesiology tape before and this was my first foray into this). Update It is now day 4, Hampton Adams tape still holding up! What can I say? I'm sold!

The good: The markings on the back make cutting it to desired length a snap. Cuts easily. It is thin and flexible, it stretches nicely and sticks very well. It did the job and reduced my pain dramatically. It removes well also, after wearing for 3 days. No tearing of the skin, etc, and I have very sensitive, thin skin. Tho my skin reacted badly and I got a severe rash, taking the tape off was not a problem and it did not tear the wounded skin. The bad: It left me with a bad reaction to the adhesive. Red rash, lines outlining where the tape ended. Painful, itchy. After 3 days without the tape I can still see the rash, tho it has subsided a lot. Some folks have easily irritated skin, and I'm one. Other things also cause me issues, so I think I can't trash this item just based on that. I gave it 4 stars because it functioned very well. Stuck easily, cut easily, came off easily, and relieved my pain dramatically. Not 5 stars, tho, because it also gave me a painful rash everywhere it had stuck onto my skin.

As someone with Hyper-mobile Ehlers Danlos (hEDS) I’m am no stranger to different attempts at joint support and healing. I have tried just about every cast, splint, brace, sling, compression, orthotic, tape, or sleeve known to man kind for the majority of my joints. Kinesiology Tape is my favorite because of the support, convenience, and flexibility. I’m fairly sure those familiar with joint injuries can relate. Because realistically anyone claiming that they love neoprene tubes squeezing their ankle and cutting off circulation if it swells, or slipping and/or rolling down their knee every two seconds; is lying. And wrapping yourself like a mummy in compression wraps is not only time consuming, and frustrating if you need to pee…but incredibly uncomfortable when something inevitably slips or rolls. That being said finding a good Kinesiology tape is sometimes a process; especially for someone such as myself. Because the gift of connective tissues akin to mashed jello, was not nearly enough. No, a good majority of us in the EDS community are also so lucky as to have severely sensitive, delicate, and reactive skin that DOES NOT appreciate adhesive of any sort. I have tried most brands available, so finding one that is supportive, has good stretch, and didn’t instantly cause me to break out in hives; was a major win! But it kept getting better! The picture above was on day 5 after applying it, and had only barely begun to peel at the ends after my 4th shower wearing it. In whole, it lasted 6 days, and that’s only because I chose to remove it during my shower due to the peeling ends. Now, it’s important to note that before buying this tape, I did read reviews. There was some mixed consensus on stickiness with some claiming it didn’t stick at all, and the majority saying that it outlasted bigger name brands. Given that the majority voted that it stuck well. I vaguely remember one of the reviews mentioning that you should shave the area first, but had quickly forgotten about it. I chalked up the naysayers to those who maybe hadn’t properly prepped the area prior to applying the tape. You see, that is ultimately where I messed up and where I issue my warning... Prepping the area…. Given that I’m a middle aged happily married woman, and it’s the middle of winter in CO; meaning that my leg hairs grow almost instantaneously after stepping out of the shower. I hadn’t given much thought to re-shaving my legs prior to putting down the tape. A - Because it’s not like I had woolly mammoth legs, and B - Most tapes I’ve used start peeling within a day or two, especially if you shower. But not this tape, noooo it held on strong! So strong in fact, that after easily removing the tape from my foot. When I began to pull it from my leg, I was a little shocked at the stinging sensation, I mean.. it was thoroughly soaked, and had been on for 6 days…. It shouldn’t sting. So I readjusted my grip and tried again… nope still stung. Finally I pulled up my big girl panties and ripped that sucker off… only to find that this tape had one more secret boasting point! It will, absolutely wax your legs (or wherever else) if you don’t shave that area first! I can absolutely say with no doubt that I will be buying this tape again, and recommending it to anyone that listens. Aside from the unexpected waxing, I had zero skin issues, not even an itch. Which is unheard of for me personally. Additionally, it had great stretch but still provides good support. Something I value since my joints like to swell like grapefruit. Add in the longevity of the application, ability to cut what you need, and ease of applying it. This is a no brainer, BUY THE TAPE!!!! - Just… maybe shave the area first before applying, unless you’re going for a two for one type of thing :P

I chose this brand for the price and amount. It's cheaper than the alternatives. I don't know why KT tape was on shark tank. There's nothing special about this over other KT tape. I like that there's a grid for cutting. It's soft fabric. It sticks very well. I do have itching and lifting after the first day when I use it. I have very sensitive skin so any adhesive is a problem but I also have to handle my medical stuff. I have vascular Ehlers Danlos and I do recommend using medical adhesive remover like Goo Gone or the one made by Skin tac. These will save you from ripping your skin off. My cat tore some KT tape off of me and I ended up with a raw spot on my arm where the flesh didn't stay on my body. This is a testament to both how weak my skin is and how strong the tape is. Again I am confused as to why this is a shark tank product but if that's why it's affordable? Okay

It's ok. It only lasts about a day. The ends peel very quickly. It works while it is on, it just doesn't stay.

What can I say about this product ....its a great product and the price is really good for the quality of this tape. I been buying the more expensive brand but I need to get it often and is sort of pricey and i decided to give a try to this brand and the quality matches the more expensive brands. Super comfortable and adheres to the skin really well!!!

Haven’t been having luck with tape at all for my horses and so far this has been working amazing! As soon as I put it on the horses, they immediately released and relaxed. My one mare who has nerve damage, back issues and pelvis pain, as soon as I put this tape on she felt so much better! Definitely recommend for your horses!

Very poor quality, the adhesive patterns on the tape is wrong way around so the tape can't be stretched (looks like it was cut incorrectly in manufacture). Very disappointed with this product.

Es una cinta muy buena tiene buena adherencia

good product for the right price, easy on the skin. definitely recommend

Buena, no se despega, resiste dormir con ella. Satisfecha con mi compra. La volveré a comprar.

Mi spiace, avevo sentito parlare bene ma purtroppo il prodotto non è all’altezza di altri prodotti. Ho sempre usato Compex e cercavo un prodotto diverso, ma non rimane neanche lontanamente attaccato appena la pelle inizia a sudare. Peccato.
