FlexU Kinesiology Tape; Available in Pre-Cut or Continuous Options; Advanced Strength and Flexibility for Enhanced Therapeutic Recovery; Provides Support, Stability, & Pain Relief to Muscles & Joints

So I’ve tried a few kinesiology tapes and have been frustrated as they come off in the pool within 30 min of my workout. I read many of the reviews and decided to try this tape. I bought the black. I found that NONE of these tapes work well unless you do the following: When I cut pieces, I always round the corners. I make sure my skin is clean and dry with no lotions. Try not to touch the tape with your fingers at all. Do not attach and then reattach and expect it to work once it is wet-it won’t. The tape works best if done at least 1 hour before getting in the pool. I have found that the tape doesn’t really adhere well to itself in water so if you can avoid overlapping the tape that is ideal. I bought the continuous roll and have not had any problems with fraying. It really is hypoallergenic! No rash from the adhesive which was what happened before with other tapes. So this is good for sensitive skin. I broke some toes this summer and found I really didn’t like the waterproof J&J tape- so I started using this and it works quite well. I love that it stretches and breathes so I can tape toes together without problems between my toes. In general, I found I could overlap the taping on my toes as long as the beginning and ends were connected to skin. You use your toes a lot to swim so most of the time, after two 2hr workouts, I would need to replace the tape. But it flexes and moves as you try and walk and so I feel it’s much better for broken toes than the inflexible white, waterproof tape. With something like a shoulder or ankle, I could tape and it would stay put at least three days of constantly getting wet 2 hr swim workouts, twice a day plus showers. If I found the tape wasn’t sticking it was because I really didn’t follow one of the above rules very well. So this is now my favorite tape and I hope they don’t change anything!

I bought the nude, non-cut tape. I highly recommend buying the non-cut tape, as the pre-cut was never the length I needed, but the length may work for you. This product is great though. I have tried many brands of tape, including the highly recommended KT tape, but none have work as well as this.This tape had the adhesion and durability that I need. I use it on my ankle and knee for pain. Other brands peeled off with sweat, or in the shower. If I got my previous tapes to last 2 days, that was good. Flex U's tape lasted me 5 days, and on the 5 day it was still working well, I just pulled it off to let my skin breathe. It lasted through exercising, sweating, working, and showering. There was minimal fraying and minor peeling on the last day, but it was peeling on my foot so I assume it was more from taking socks and shoes on/off rather than the tape failing. I have been recommending this tape to everyone I know who uses tape. I will never change from this brand.

Found the product to offer support and stability to my knee as I continue to rehab and strengthen it following torn meniscus. Great product and great customer service.

Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE this tape. It’s the first tape I’ve been able to find that actually stays on for more than one day BUT this tape will tear your skin off. Not to the point where you’re bleeding or anything but it definitely tears a thin layer off. And this is not just dead skin sitting on the surface. I thought it was the first time I took it off so I used a body scrub and scrubbed the crap out of my arm and even shaved but it STILL tears my skin. It’s not a huge problem for me but just thought I would put a psa out there.

This is the only kinesiology tape that hasn't irritated my skin!

The tape works as advertised; however, when I removed it two days after applying it, it left a blue and sticky residue on my ankle. I scrubbed it in the shower; still sticky, less blue. (It's so sticky that it picked up hair and lint.) I have had to methodically pull each piece of gunk off my body.

I've used KT tape and most recently Rocktape exclusively because KT tape would not stay glued during strenuous activity and exercise. So far the FlexU has been better than both previously used tapes and it has been reassuring that the tape is not coming off at the edges.Just played football for 3 hours in 80 degree weather after putting the tape on my skin which had lotion on it and it stayed out. If you've ever had electrical stem, the consistency of the stickiness is similar to that.Now please release an electric blue and neon green color please!Update 6/27/2017The second roll I purchased may have came out of the factory with some defects, but after some miscommunication and lost emails Bundle Hive was more than helpful in offering a replacement product.

Great product! Sticks very well, I had it on 3 days but would have lasted another 2 for sure if I hadn’t taken it off. You have to apply it correctly, the entire length of tape is not supposed to be stretched, just the middle parts with unstretched anchors. I think this works just as well as a name brand, it helps support and reduce swelling very well!
