Troubleshooting

Tape is not adhering well.

Ensure the skin is clean, dry, and free of oils, lotions, or hair. Press down firmly on the tape after application.

Skin irritation occurs upon application or removal.

For application, ensure skin is clean and dry. For removal, try removing tape slowly in the direction of hair growth while holding the skin taut. Consider using a medical adhesive remover or warm water to soften the adhesive.

Tape is difficult to tear cleanly.

While designed for easy tearing, ensure you are using the perforations and applying firm, even pressure. If scissors are needed, use clean, sharp medical scissors.

Gently remove residue with an adhesive remover specifically designed for skin or a mild, oil-based cleanser. Ensure thorough rinsing.
