Hampton Adams | As Seen on Shark Tank | Elastic Kinesiology Tape (2-Pack) | Uncut Athletic Tape Supports & Protects Muscles Knees Shoulders & Plantar Fasciitis | Waterproof Hypoallergenic (Black)

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).UpdateIt is now day 4, Hampton Adams tape still holding up! What can I say? I'm sold!

Tried a few. Hampton is supportive, effective and less expensive than bigger name brands.Recommend Buy in bulk and cut to sizes of your choice. Also cheaper.

Good Kinesiology Tape, good flexibility, excellent adhesion to the body and lasts on the body for many daysBut after use I realized that the kinesiology tape leaves marks of glue on the body after removal.Removing the glue marks is very difficult and only with acetone it comes off ,which is a big disadvantage

I use this every night to mouthtape and it works perfectly! I'm a man with fairly short facial hair and this will stay on all night. I have had a few times where it is a bit painful to take off in the morning but I would rather have it that way than to have it come off while I'm sleeping.

I tore up my knee 3 months ago, MCL and Meniscus, can't get surgery as I am slated for a redo of my replacement hip due to a recall of the hip unit.Dr. gave me a knee brace and basically said to deal with it until after the hip surgery in June.The brace is ok, but it causes chaffing and itching behind the knee, additionally it seriously limits my mobility, and I have to walk stiff legged with a cane, without the brace my knee is unstable and wobbly and even with the cane the knee shifts and "gives out" and I feel like I am going to fall.My kids high school football coach recommended Kinesiology Tape, told me a lot of the kids wrap their knees and ankles with it before practices and games.I was a skeptic, but I figured it couldn't be any worse than the brace.. The coach wrapped me in some they had at the school and showed me how to position it around my knee.I was amazed I could walk without my cane, and my knee felt stable, obviously I won't be climbing ladders (how I tore the knee in the first place, ladder collapsed on me due to an inattentive helper at work). But for daily mobility it has been a savior.Package says lasts several days, so far I am on day 3 with this brand (same brand the coach gave me) and it seems secure and stable.I would never had guessed some tape product would provide equal or better support than a brace, but this stuff does. As for pain relief, I don't know that I would say it is relieving the pain but I will say since the knee is stable it is not causing pain as a result of the knee giving way and causing me to step down hard or twist it which creates more damage and discomfort.great product, and would recommend for anyone that needs the stability and support, just be sure you are wrapping the area correctly so that it works as intended.

This tape is touch and go. Some applications it sticks on for a week. Other applications it starts coming off hours after I've put it on. I'm no stranger to k-taping and have been applying it for a few years. I need a brand that I can trust. This one is too unpredictable.
