Summary: 4 Stars
The kinesio tape was helpful and it reduced some of the discomfort I was having on my knee during exercising.Product Review: Beware - Bulk tape...
Summary: 1 Stars
They do send you the Kinesio tape, but it is a roll of bulk tape. Definitely not what is pictured and what you think you are buying.Product Review: Decent, but not the best for feet
Summary: 4 Stars
I love kinesio tape, and with perpetually sprained ankles, I use it a lot. When I ran out of my old tape (purchased in Germany, couldn't find it online), I ordered this on Amazon.
Good:
- Strong tape
- Good flexibility; not too loose or too tight
- Easy to tear backing without stretching the tape itself (makes it easier to apply)
- Probably most important--IT WORKS. If you are reluctant to buy kinesio tape at all, just order one role and try it out. It is definitely worth the cost for the almost immediate relief. (However, I should also point out that it's best to have a doctor or chiropracter do your first few applications, so you know exactly where the tape is supposed to be placed on your injury. Some people will even tell you that ONLY a doctor or chiropractor should apply this, but those people are probably made of money as well.)
Bad:
- If you want to use this on your feet, and you shower at least once a day, it won't last as long as it claims. I purposely ordered the water resistent tape because it was supposed to be better for use on feet, but it only lasts 2-3 days before I need to change it. The other tape I was using would last for 5-6.
Overall, good kinesio tape, but I will keep looking for a better water-resistent variety.
Product Review: Did not work for me
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought this product to alleviate some IT Band issues I was having. My physical therapist taught me how to apply the tape and sent me on my way. I have never been able to get this product to stick for more than an hour or so. I have followed the instructions for skin prep, but as soon as I sweat the edges start to come off. This has happened with all 5 attempts I have made at using the tape whether running, cycling, or CrossFit. People swear by this stuff, but it really didn't work for me. I don't sweat any more than the average person, but perhaps I need to the super waterproof type?
