Review on 3M Micropore Tape 1530 2 Rolls by Andrew Kamkoff

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Ideal for transdermal patches!

I only had to wear a transdermal patch of about 1 inch for severe muscle spasms and spasticity and they don't want to stay on my skin where they should be placed. The smaller 1 inch 3M Micropore Tape was too cumbersome. I was just trying to see my tummy to correctly place each 1 inch piece to cover the patch and ended up using three strips most of the time. Now I can unroll enough of that 2 inch tape, placing the patch in the middle of the piece before cutting it to make sure I have enough. I then cut the patched tape in place and removed a piece of the patch's protective covering to place it where it should be. So there are no waves and it lies flat. The only issue I have is that the corners or edges may peel off a bit by the late shift. This tape is pretty sticky! I got rid of the peachy fuzz quite painfully as the tape stuck to my skin where I needed to put patches. And it leaves minimal marks that are easily wiped off with hand sanitizer, baby wipes, or wet wipes/paper towels. It definitely made my patch changing experience much easier and faster. Not to mention that it's a lot more profitable in the long run. I will be back to buy more when they run out and would happily recommend them to everyone except maybe those with sensitive skin.

Pros
  • practical item
Cons
  • Not as thick as other picks
