Product Information

Full details

This Ultimate Performance Sports Tape is designed for athletes and active individuals seeking reliable support and stabilization for joints and muscles. Its key benefit is the easy-to-tear serrated edge, allowing for quick, no-fuss application during training or competition. A potential caveat is its strong adhesion, which may require careful removal to avoid skin irritation for those with highly sensitive skin.

FAQs

Is this tape suitable for all sports?

Yes, its durable design and strong adhesive make it suitable for a wide range of sports and physical activities that require joint and muscle support.

Can I reuse this sports tape?

No, sports tape is designed for single use. Reusing it will compromise its adhesive strength and support capabilities.

How long does the adhesive typically last?

The zinc oxide adhesive is designed to provide strong hold throughout a typical training session or game. Longevity can vary based on activity level and environmental conditions like sweat and moisture.

What does '2" x 15yds' mean?

This refers to the dimensions of the tape roll: 2 inches in width and 15 yards (approximately 13.7 meters) in length.

Is it safe to use on open wounds?

No, this tape is not intended for use on open wounds. It is for external support and stabilization of muscles and joints.

How should I store the tape?

Store the tape in its original packaging in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, to preserve the adhesive.

What if I have sensitive skin?

The tape is latex-free and hypoallergenic, making it suitable for most users. However, if you have very sensitive skin, conduct a patch test first or apply over a protective underlayer.

Troubleshooting

Tape is not sticking well

Ensure the application area is clean, dry, and free of lotions or oils. Press firmly on the tape after application to activate the adhesive.

Skin irritation after removal

Remove the tape slowly and gently, peeling it back in the direction of hair growth. Applying baby oil or olive oil to the edge can help loosen the adhesive. If irritation persists, discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional.

Difficulty tearing the tape cleanly

Ensure you are using the serrated edge as intended. If the tape is damp or old, tearing may be less clean. Store tape in a dry environment.

Tape feels too tight when applied

Loosen the tape slightly during application. Avoid applying with excessive tension, especially around joints. Ensure there is no numbness, tingling, or discoloration after application.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Application: Ensure the skin area is clean, dry, and free from oils or lotions before applying the tape. Apply directly to the skin or over protective underwrap if preferred. Tear the tape to the desired length using the serrated edge. Apply with moderate tension, ensuring it adheres firmly without constricting blood flow.

Compatibility: This tape is compatible with most skin types due to its hypoallergenic, latex-free formulation. It can be used in conjunction with other sports medicine products like athletic braces or underpadding.

Care: Store the tape in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain adhesive quality. After use, carefully remove the tape by peeling it back slowly in the direction of hair growth to minimize discomfort. Discard used tape responsibly.
