Cover-Roll Stretch - 2" x 10 yards - Hypoallergenic

• Size: 2 Inches x 10 Yards

I have >50% torn lower patellar tendon and my current prognosis (according to the orthopedic dr) is to use it until it ruptures and treat/deal with the pain. The PT used this tape along with Leukotape to support my tendon.

The cover roll stretch acts as the first layer, directly on the skin. It provides no support at all, but sticks to the skin well, even when you get sweaty from sports. It's very stretchy so it moves with the knee. As a base layer it holds well so the Leukotape can do it's job.

I've ordered from these folks before and I'll order again. I dropped to 4-stars because the product appeared to be a factory second, but it functioned as expected. Shipping time is better than stated. Very good value for the money.

Good stuff. Adheres well, but doesn't pull the skin off when removed. Reasonably waterproof. I tried several brands from the local pharmacies, and none worked nearly as well.

A knee injury had me looking for methods to stablize/aid the joint. I tried this tape as well as the Kinesio Classic and here are my findings. First of all, I did the taping myself with my son's help (he's a personal trainer). I haven't been to the doctor since I know I'll be sent to this place and that for multiple tests, xrays and an MRI. Problem is, walking makes it worse so I'm hoping that with rest, elevation and taping it will heal on its own. If it doesn't, of course, I'll bite the bullet and take the medical route, but after years of horse injuries (both to them and me) I know things often heal on their own with time.

I bought both these types of tape, not knowing which might work the best. The Kinesio is a slightly better deal as you get 13.5 yards as opposed to 10 yards for this product for about the same price.

This product is lighter and has a smoother finish, but is not nearly as stretchy as the Kinesio. I have very sensitive skin and neither product caused a skin problem. This product is easy to remove from the backing as the backing paper is split down the middle so you only have to fold it a bit to get a corner of the paper to pull off. Actually though, I found application of the Kinesio was a bit easier once I got a corner of the backing free because the single strip of backing could be pulled away as you applied the tape which reduces opportunities for the tape to catch and stick to itself.

The real difference in the two types is in the finish, the weight and stretch. When you want to tape around the knee cap, for example, you need the tape to stretch and 'bend' so it lays smoothly. You want to support the joint/muscle, not immobilize it. If you need that level of help, you probably have a more serious problem that requires professional attention. In my case, I use this tape only in places that don't need to accommodate movement.

The slightly smoother finish means the tape is less likely to be pulled away by clothing like slacks or a shirt worn over the taped area. The lighter weight seems like it would be a bit cooler although I haven't noticed a difference. It stays on really well. In the end though I just find the Kinesio tape more comfortable because of the stretch feature. If you need to tape an area that doesn't require movement, though, this tape is a good choice.

It is o.k . It is helpful for knee and ankle problem. no useful for wrist , hip and other part of body.
