Customer Reviews of Kinesio Tex Tape - Water Resistant Beige, 2" x 5.5 yd. Single Roll for Kinesio Taping
Customer Review: Does what it's supposed to
Summary: 4 Stars
I found this product useful in treating minor overuse injuries in my feet and legs. It certainly seems like it helps improve recovery time and aids injured areas. It stays on fairly well--you can shower, swim, and even apply ice cups right over it. However, it's not a miracle, and it's not an instant fix. Remember, each application is supposed to stay on for about 5 days. If you have a serious injury, it's not going to allow you to compete injury-free, nor will it cure a long-lasting chronic injury permanently. It is a very good recovery aid, but you still have to address the cause of your original injury. I have less experience using kinesio tape on acute injuries (sprains, bruises, and the like) since my sport (distance running) involves relatively few, so I can't comment on the manufacturer's claim that it can reduce swelling and edema.Customer Review: I'm allergic - but it worked perfectly otherwise
Summary: 4 Stars
I've given this tape 4 stars because it did exactly what I wanted: protected my neck from the rash I get from my triathlete wet suit (obviously while swimming in it). It stuck on very well though I should add that I washed my neck first and then wiped it with rubbing alcohol to make sure of good adhesion.
The first time I used it my neck felt like it had been sunburned - and that's what I thought it was. Today I used it in a race and it hurt like hell to pull it off and underneath my skin was very red and later turned to a perfect 2" rash around my neck.
Granted, this is not a typical use but I am disappointed that I'm allergic. Still, amazing this stuff stuck on through the continuous rubbing of a wet suit on my neck in water.
Customer Review: Great stuff, it stays on even when playing sports.
Summary: 5 Stars
I have a condition in my hand that gives me localized pain, its a form arthritis. I've found the patch type product Salonpas Salonpas-Pain Relieving Patch, 120 Patches does an excellent job of relief. However it won't stay on after your hands get a little sweaty. I first tried athletic tape and that works ok...but what I didn't like was that 1) its too stiff 2) it only comes in white. I like to camoflage the bandage.
Anyway this stuff does the trick. The beige color kind of blends in with your skin, and this stuff doesn't fall off when you are sweaty. It doesn't fall off until you take it off. It is great. I will be a lifelong customer.
Customer Review: Magic Tape!
Summary: 5 Stars
Due to osteo arthritis, I've had cronic pain in the sacroiliac area for over 5 years. I refuse to take meds to control the pain, but even physical therapy didn't help. My therapist applied kensio tape to the area and I've been pain free since. Before applying this tape any movement, including sitting and laying down caused pain - with the tape, no pain at all. I have had to take sleep aids several times a week because the pain has kept me awake. Since applying this tape, I sleep soundly every evening. Because of this, I have a lot more energy during the day. This will be my first purchase of this tape. It does appear to be expensive, but when you consider the alternatives - it's worth every penny.Customer Review: Helped a lot for Runner's knee
Summary: 5 Stars
I've had runner's knee for 5 years. Few months ago started with my third physical therapist. They applied kinesio tape and I've been using it every day for about 3 months. It greatly reduced pain, almost completely stopped the popping and grinding of my knee. It is so much better than the bulky braces and wraps cause it doesn't get hot, more comfortable and stretches to conform to movement. I would say it is not all the tape helping with the pain, I also do stretching and strenthening excercises. Most the excercises I was given I couldn't preform until I used the tape. I would recomend consulting a doctor to show how to apply the tape, and get stretching and strengthening excercises.
