Review on ๐Ÿฉน 3M Micropore Paper Surgical Tape White 1" x 10 yds - Box of 12 - Reliable Medical Tape by Tom Oberhue

3M Micropore Tape on First Aid

I gave that 3 stars and probably no fault of the tape. My respirator stuck to the bridge of my nose, making it very red and scarred. Bought this item to be a barrier and prevent sticking (didn't know about mask liners at the time). I placed the tape on the bridge of my nose and slightly under my eyelids. It worked very well, but it stuck to my skin so well that it was very painful to remove. I found that if I spliced the two pieces together (one shorter than the other) and left a small amount of glue on the open ends, they held up well enough all night. I also tried a popular brand of mask pads myself. It also irritated the bridge of my nose. In the end, to solve any problems, I glue the bridge of my nose (as above) and use a mask liner. Ribbon is a very good buy, especially when it's sometimes on sale.
