Great tape and easy to use.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like this tape because it’s really easy to use and it holds well without having my skin feeling itchy.
It holds up well when wet but not soaked. I would definitely recommend using this tape for small bandages.

Sticky waterproof tape
on November 10, 2023
Posted by: Alimama
from Sacramento, Ca
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used this waterproof tape to cover an external heart monitor while showering, and it worked so so. The tape is fairly sticky. Some of the tape would lift up near my shoulder when it got wet, so some water got underneath the tape, but I think if someone used the tape away from joints and areas that move, it might stay in place better. I received this waterproof tape for free in exchange for my honest opinion. I liked that it was easy to cut and tear. It’s a good thickness too, if you’re wearing it around ankles and are breaking in new shoes, this might prevent blisters. I do wish the tape was wider though. The stickiness was good and didn’t leave sticky residue on your skin.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

A great addition to any first aid kit!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great bandaid replacement! So many times bandaids just can’t fit or stay where you need them and this product fills that need. It sticks where you want it too and yet can be easily removed. I think this is a great addition to any first aid kit!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great adhesive that is waterproof!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great adhesive that is waterproof! It has enough hold that it gets the job done but also removes easily. I like that it is waterproof for added durability. It is flexible tape which is great for athletic use.
I would recommend this to a friend!

It worked great, until..

This tape does everything it says and was my favorite tape for years. I've used it with no issues before today. What looks like burn blisters, appeared on my leg where I had the tape placed.
I've never had an issue before. I came to the reviews on this site to see if other people had an issue with the tape too. I read several other reviews that had the same problem. It's quite obvious there's inconsistencies with the manufacturing of this product. I won't buy this again.

Shockingly bad
on October 11, 2024
Posted by: Cath E
Purchased this to cover a medical purchase whil showering. This tape does not stick at all. It was falling off on its own within 1 minute of application. I didn't even get into the shower before it fell off. I can't see what use the tape could ever be, I wish I could give it zero stars.

Will Never purchase again!

I purched this waterproof tape to hold a medical device secure to my body. It did stick, for about an hour! Just my own perspiration caused it to release! I even shaved the area and wiped all oils off with alcohol before applying. Still about an hour and came loose!!! Product is next to worthless in this application!
