Works great for me!

This stuff really works for me. My scar is an ugly straight line of Frankenstein stitches. Luckily, the surgery that caused this scar was done on a flat, hard spot—just above my sternum—so the band-aid lay flat. I wear the tape almost 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, only taking it off to shower and when I'm wearing something like a tank top and the tape is more visible than the scar. That was not always so. Before I started using medical tape my scar was quite raised and red. Now it's flatter and lighter. This change only lasted about a week. The only downside is that it hurts a little when I peel off the tape - it sticks! Also, in the 6 weeks I've been using I've never had to cut a second piece; it just keeps working. I wash it with my fingers and some soapy water and rinse it out. I let it dry over a towel on a rack and in no time it's dry and ready to glue. I can't see how I'm ever going to use up every foot and a half.
