Best Tape Ever

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I paddle and am a very enthusiastic one to boot, so when my fingers got blisters because I don't have any cushioning I tried this tape. It has some sticky to it, my fingers don't blister, and it is waterproof.
A lot of my teammates borrow or have gone out and bought this tape because it is so good.
Just wish you could buy it by the case.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Double the Width!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I want to write a review of this product so the manufacturer can improve this product by reading the cons of this product. I use this waterproof First Aid Tape for Eczema on my lower leg, i have to seal my lower leg every time when I shower, and I have to buy this product often because this is the only waterproof tape I use that's effectively seals away from the water when showering. Since I use it often, Imagine sealing the lower leg with this tape and you're trying to sealing it perfectly so the water can't enter into your wounds, I found this tape's width not wide enough, if the width is double as wide, then I can seal my lower leg quicker and waterproof my lower leg when showering.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Thank you for your recent review on our Nexcare(TM) Absolute Waterproof First Aid Tape. We appreciate all the feedback we receive on our products and we have forwarded your comments to our marketing department.
You mentioned you were looking for a wider version of this tape but didn't mention which width you have. We make two widths currently for this tape: 1 inch and 1.5 inch widths. Both rolls are 5 yards in length. If you are currently using the 1" width, we would recommend looking at the 1.5" width at this time--which is available at retailers such as drugstore.com, HEB, Kerr Drug, and Rite Aid. However, if you are using the 1.5" width, this is unfortunately the widest we make this tape on the consumer side. You could check with a hospital pharmacy or medical supply company to see if they carry a wider width. Our Medical Division does work with hospitals for larger tapes and bandages and they do offer them for sale through the hospitals or medical supply chains.

Very disappointed.

I bought this tape to hold a 4×4 gauze in place to cover a breast cancer wound. This tape is ABSOLUTELY NOT waterproof and the tap does NOT stick to dry skin at all.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Great tape wrongcolorl

Why is the only "flesh" color that of someone white? At the very least it would be nice to have a suntanned caucasion color so it's not such a contrast. Surely I'm not the first person to notice.
