Kinesio Tex Gold Tape

Works well but leaves a horrible residue on your body after but it’s the only one that stays for a long time on me

I've been tempted by some of the knock offs being sold for half the price since I don't always use this as kinesio and so could go with a cheapie brand, but continue to buy this one. It works as it should, long lasting yet isn't too harsh when removing. I use it to cover bruises on my arms from soccer while they are healing -- looks better than showing a bruise and you can cut it to shape. I also wrap my toes to prevent blistering in my cleats. Also, I tape this into a variety of shoes to prevent squeaking and slipping [such as on the inside of soccer cleats at the heel/ankle cup and even on dress shoes at the heels and toes] and it lasts at least a season. I also use it with some cotton to make a versatile band aid to wrap on areas that a traditional band aid won't cover. Yesterday, I taped a strip just under each knee cap and it gave reassuring support for knees worn out from decades of running. This tape has so many uses. UPDATE: I have bought their standard black [they have an extra strong black also, but not sure it is any different than the regular black] and it sticks so well that is seems to be a cut above this one as far as performance. The black can last up to a week and even when I am doing hot yoga -- that is very impressive. I continue to buy this beige when I have a need for cover ups, and the black for more serious applications. Was using the black for LCL taping method where one of the tapes scoops around the knee. You can feel the blood flow to the area, plus give support. Was easy to remove also. Great product.

This tape is fantastic! It sticks like it’s supposed to. I had bad experiences with cheaper, more colorful tape that didn’t work. I’ll buy this every time.

This worked very well, a family member and physical therapist recommended for my plantar fasciitis. I can recommend this tape to help support your foot thereby helping to ease the pain should you get plantar fasciitis?

It had been several years since I had purchased any K-tape. When this roll arrived, I was initially disappointed. It felt about 1/2 the thickness of the old tape. ("Gettin' cheap, are they?!") BUT what I found is that this tape stays STUCK (adhered) much, much longer than my old/thicker tape! It's 10 days later, and the tape is still secure! A little frayed on the edges now, but this is amazing! So don't judge until you try it!

Nice tape for sports injuries or pain Sticks well if you don’t pull off holds up well even after Shower easy to use if used kinesis tape pull up well. Yes I did.

This kinesio works, after wearing for a year took sciatica pain away, went thru so many boxes, John Gibbons you tube, will show you how to position tape, always put a liquid on first, any indigestion bottle works let dry first. Some people can leave on for a week, I change tape daily.

Summary: sticks better than other brands, use baby oil for removal. I have arthritis, and I’m prone to developing PFPS (known often as runner’s knee) in my right knee. My physical therapist taught me how to tape my patella in place for high impact activities when I’m feeling any irritation. I needed to tape my knee on my own in between appointments, so I bought several brands and tried them out. I tried everything from “name brand” KT tape to random off brands from big box stores. I had the same issue with all of them - no matter how dry my skin was, the adhesive failed halfway through a sweaty workout. When my PT taped my knee, it lasted for days through multiple gym sessions and showers. I finally called to find out the product they use in office, and it is Kinesio TEX Gold. I purchased this roll, and it did not disappoint. This tape stays on extremely well through showers, gym sessions, applying lotion etc. It also keeps some tension for up to 3 days vs the other brands who were doing nothing by day 2 if they were even still adhered to my knee This tape can sometimes stay TOO well, and my tip for removal is applying baby oil and letting it sit for a few minutes. The baby oil will work even faster if applied right before you start a shower.

Muy adecuado para parálisis facial

La cinta no tiene suficiente pegamento al momento de ponerla se empieza a despegar por lo que no volvere a comprarla

Great product, very helpful for my knee pain

This is GOOD stuff!! I bought it on recommendation from my Sports Therapist and (with appropriate direction on where to stick it!) it got me n my dodgy hamstring through Tough Mudder - and was still attached at the end (which, considering how wet/muddy I was at the finish, was pretty impressive)! I went for the Gold cos I was told it was the best and this was the cheapest I'd manage to find it. It also arrived very quickly!

Read a review from another runner suggesting to use KT Tape versus blister pads on feet to reduce chaffing on typical hotspots. This tape proved very effective for helping me heal some bad early season blisters. It is easy to apply, stretches well to conform to balls of feet and heels, and stays in place even for long distance runs. I now use it as a preventive measure for every long run.
