Excellent tape
This tape is so gentle and comfortable that I can wear it every night on my eyepatch and it doesn't bother my skin at all. It's strong enough to stay put, but gentle enough to come off without hurting me. And buying three at once is a great value!

To bind without harm, to hold without hurt—this is its art, and it performs it faithfully.
How soft the hand that heals must be—and how quietly steadfast the tools that aid its work. Among such modest instruments, the Nexcare Gentle Paper Tape holds a peculiar grace. It does not boast, nor gleam with the cold ambition of sterner medical contrivances; rather, it serves in silence, its strength veiled beneath the texture of tenderness. The tape, pale and unassuming, unwinds with the calm of a whispered promise. When laid upon the skin, it clings not as a tyrant, but as a devoted guardian—firm enough to secure, yet mindful of the fragile terrain it protects. It lifts away without reproach, leaving no trace of cruelty behind, only the faint memory of care well given. Each roll—slender, unrolling in quiet abundance—feels almost infinite in its mercy. In tending wounds or shielding dressings, it teaches a lesson seldom heeded: that gentleness and endurance are not adversaries, but kindred virtues. The edges tear easily, as though the tape itself understands human haste and human trembling. To bind without harm, to hold without hurt—this is its art, and it performs it faithfully. There is something almost poetic in such restraint, a purity of purpose rarely found in the world’s harsher remedies. Thus, in the Nexcare Paper Tape, I discern not mere utility but compassion woven thin—a strip of kindness, rolled and ready, waiting to soothe the tender places where life has torn us open.

This paper tape is gentle AND effective.
This tape is wonderful for my mom who has some current medical issues and requires this medical tape. It is gentle and has never irritated or ripped off skin or anything of that nature. Non-irritating and doesn’t cause pain when removed. However it sticks and stays. Secures dressings very effectively. If you need extra staying power utilize Smith and Nephew skin prep spray where you need to secure this tape or a bandage/bandaid. Being clear however, this is VERY effective give without it.

Strong grip over time
I had bought this to tape my mouth to counter mouth breathing as I slept. It is easy to tear, easy to move, and easy to peel when you first put it on. However, by the time I have to remove it in the morning, it is really stuck on my skin. Even trying different methods such as putting on chapstick, lip oil, or light pressure, the adhesive becomes very is difficult to remove by morning. It ends up making my lips tender and leaves behind a sticky residue. It is very good for first aid use, but it did not serve the purpose I had bought this for. The reason I had bought this instead of micro pore tape was due to the cheap price and description. The description of it being easy to remove applies only in the beginning but over the course of a few hours, it adheres.

Tape face to reduce wrinkles while you’re sleeping. It works!
Here’s a little tip. For face wrinkles, it’s an affordable alternative to (rhymes with) brownies— IYKYK. I use this to tape my forehead at night because of one stubborn 11 line between my eyebrows. It works best with 2-3 layers for stiffness. Peels off easily in the morning & crazy enough, it didn’t even take a whole week for me to see that it works. How many hours does the effect last? Idk? I’m down sick for the week, so I haven’t gotten to pay much attention, but it DOES work. It’s worth a shot since this is so affordable & it’s easy to use.

Strong, gentle and light.
This tape is very sticky! Once’s it’s on it’s on! It can handle sleeping on it. Doesn’t leave much residue if any.

Strong smell
Holds well, but smells so strong of chemicals it was making me dizzy. Haven’t noticed this smell with their other surgical tapes

I needed this post eye surgery to hold my eye patches in place. It doesn’t burn my skin and did a good job holding my eye patches in place. I will add it to all our first aid kits as it’s a good product at a great price through Amazon prime. And the bonus is it’s delivered to my door. Thanks Amazon prime

This is obviously a first aid tape and a very good one at that. I, however primarily use it for labelling freezer bags and containers. I use a Sharpie to write the name of the item on the tape and then put it on whatever container I am using. It sticks to plastic or glass and even hangs on through a dishwasher load. (oops). It peels off easily and does not leave any residue - even after said dishwasher trip! I love this stuff.

Bought as a substitute for branded mouth tapes. Works better than the ones marketed for mouth taping and this is much better value for money. Had no issues with it staying on all night, can even use it with vaseline on your lips to ensure you don't wake up with chapped lip. Sticks well and relatively painless to remove.

This tape is great for sensitive or delicate skin. The paper material feels breathable and soft, and I haven’t had any irritation when removing it, even after wearing it for a while — which is exactly what it claims to do. It also tears easily by hand without needing scissors, which makes it convenient to use in a hurry. It holds fairly well to skin and dressings without being too aggressive. I’ve used it to secure gauze and dressings overnight, and it stayed on securely without leaving a sticky mess behind when I took it off. Having six rolls in one pack has been great — you can never have enough tape in a first-aid kit! The price I paid felt worth it for the quantity. Plus, it’s from a trusted brand in medical tapes that’s also used in hospitals.

These worked well enough to hold my badges in place even when in a high movement area. However, removing them was a literal pain. Especially if you place them over hairy parts of skin. Some adhesive would sometimes remain after the bandage was removed. Also, each roll lasted a lot less than expected.
