Review on 3M Microfoam Tape Stretched Box Sports & Fitness by Steve Tripp

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great tape for sensitive skin.

I broke my ankle in 4 places and needed an operation. I had several cuts and of course ankle pain. Bandages added additional pain to the skin. The bandage placed over the incision was hard on my skin. The skin hurt, was red and sore. When I was at home, the home nurse came twice a week to change my bandages. After trying different types of tape, all of which made my skin feel sore, she used this tape and it was much softer on my skin. It also has some padding to protect from socks and eventual shoes so the tape cushions the friction against the incisions. The home treatment only lasted 3 weeks but I still had to bandage a few cuts that weren't healing well so I bought this tape. I then had to have additional surgery to remove some temporary gear as my ankle healed. I have continued to use this tape for newly opened incisions. If you have sensitive skin, this tape is much softer than regular bandages and even better than regular bandages, which I've also tried. I only want to buy one roll. I guess having 3 packs just means I have enough for all other injuries.

Pros
  • Box: 3
Cons
  • Not everything fits
