Review on ๐Ÿฉน Nexcare Sensitive Skin Tape, 1 inch x 4 yards (Pack of 2), 2 Count (Single Pack) by Darrin Parasson

Revainrating 4 out of 5

skin friendly. soft stick

I ordered and received two packs. Each roll is marked 1 inch x 4 yards. On a plastic roll (roll) it is light blue compared to cardboard/paper. The packaging says no rubber/latex and says to handle with care. It is stronger than paper tape and duct tape. looks like a mesh, which makes it (I think) stronger than paper tape. It would take a long time to tear it when wearing. I got this with paper tape due to skin sensitivity (redness/rash). Medications and aging have also led to "thin skinโ€ so removing tape often results in skin removal/tearing or bruising. I use it to attach lidocaine patches to the sides of my knee and paprika patches to my thigh. I agree that the band stays gentle for many nights. weakens by chafing the sheets and bending the band at the knee. The tape on the thigh patch is fine, so that's the specific spot of my specific use. Incidentally, the thigh attachment is such that I tape from thigh to back, and tape the scrotum and remove the lats with no pain/issues (wow!) No sticky residue, sticks better than tape, stronger than tape, no marks or painful removal like transpore tape, no sensitivity (rash/redness) for me like tape. Removed without hurting my thin skin :-) In general I am satisfied. The 4-star picnickers, who don't always keep their knee pads secure through the night, are asking a lot.

Pros
  • Ideal for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Mostly good, but...
