SPORTTAPE Elastic Adhesive Bandage - 5cm x 4.5m, Non-Tear Strapping Tape

Great tape - did the job - supported my broken toe

I have an open wound on my stomach and this tape covers the dressing and holds it in place. The roll is bigger and longer than expected and looks like it will last me for ages. It is certainly excellent value for money.

Having read previous reviews about the stickiness of this tape, I felt it was sticky enough on skin contact and skin contact is the best way to use this type of tape, it is no good for going over cloth or even on top of the tape itself as it doesn’t adhere very well, also if it was anymore stickier it would be difficult to get off and could result in the skin being pulled away, so I felt it was sufficiently sticky enough. However after taping my leg up (thigh/groin injury) for a few hours, I found it too restricting and started to smart, like my leg couldn’t breathe properly, probably more suited to smaller injuries, possible a sprain or twist, where not a lot of tape is required. I have gone back to using my other tape (kinesiology) which I find is better for a thigh/groin strain type injury and more breathable.

Excellent. Does a great job.

This tape does exactly what I needed. It’s strong, sticks well and doesn’t come loose during training, even with a lot of movement. I used it mainly for ankle support and it held everything in place without feeling too stiff or uncomfortable. It’s also quite breathable, so it doesn’t irritate the skin after longer use. The width is ideal for knees and ankles. For £5.99 with Prime delivery, it feels like good value. Not fancy, just reliable and does the job properly.

Good tape

I find this strap perfect to wrap across my toes to help bring my little toe from straying out. It’s been an issue for as long as I can remember. So strapping this around the circumference of my toes at night, is helping to prevent it getting rubbed in all of my shoes. Sticks well and remains secure without hurting. Definitely recommend.

I got this as I needed a crepe bandage and was fed up of pinning it or trying to knot. This is generally sticky, so sticks to skin as well as itself. The edges look frayed from the start, but don’t appear to have worsened after a few days. The bandage sticks to itself, and to skin, so that it does stay in place, but not enough to self hold - pin or tape required to hold the end down or it will gradually unwind. Is stretchy, so can determine what level of support is applied - fairly light strapping required for ankle, so not sure if it would bear up if needed to be more robust support.
