I seem to be allergic to duct tape - even duct tape when it comes to bandages. So this tape used for horses works great for me. I admit bandages need to be a bit bigger, but my skin is grateful to the makers of this band. It's great for wrapping ankles, wrists, and anything that needs extra support. The film sticks to itself so there is no more tension, no red skin and no more "eyes" from reacting to the plain/paper tape. It is highly recommended to have medical supplies on hand.
