Hampton Adams Kinesiology Tape, Uncut Roll, Waterproof Muscle Support

We've been using the Hampton Adams kinesiology tape in our office almost daily, and it's been a great value. We primarily use it on MMA and BJJ patients, so it needs to hold up through movement, training, and sweat. This tape has consistently stayed in place while still being comfortable to wear. The bulk roll is perfect for a busy practice because we can cut exactly the length we need without wasting pre-cut strips. It tears cleanly with scissors, applies easily, and the adhesive has been reliable without being difficult to remove. If you're a clinician, athletic trainer, or someone who tapes frequently, the 135-foot bulk roll is a cost-effective option that performs well. We'll definitely continue using it in our clinic.

I rarely give reviews on products purchased on Amazon, but I wanted to rave about this product and its performance relative to KT tape. I had purchased the KT Tape (KT Tape Original Cotton Elastic Kinesiology Therapeutic Athletic Tape, 20 Pack, 10” Cut Strips) and was extremely frustrated with the KT tape peeling off within the first 20-30 mins of my run. I used the KT product to tape my knee and was very diligent in cleaning the skin using alcohol, and even used a razor to shave around my knee after this peeled off the first couple of times. Made no difference and 20 mins into my run I would have the KT tape strips flapping around my knee!! :( This KT tape was touted to stay on 1-3 days and is pretty pricey relative to other brands. I decided to try (Hampton Adams (2 Pack) Kinesiology Tape for Physical Therapy Sports Athletes – Latex Free Elastic, 16ft Water Resistant Kinetic Uncut Kinesio Tape for Knee Pain, Elbow & Shoulder Muscle - Black). This tape backing is well marked (solid blue lines every 2 inches) and I cut 2 10 inch strips and one 5 inch strip, taped my right knee for full support, exactly the same way I had applied the KT tape. I did not use alcohol to clean the skin, or even shave. I could tell right away the adhesion was superior, and the elasticity was active. I went out for a 6 mile run which usually takes me 55-60 mins and lo and behold, no peeling issues whatsoever. I got back home, went in the shower and the tape was holding firm. I am continuing to wear the tape for the rest of the day and no sign of peeling whatsoever (FYI i rounded the edges of the tape with scissors when cutting). I am incredibly impressed with the performance and I think part of my enthusiasm is from the disappointment and frustration I got from the KT tape. What a flop for a highly touted not to mention expensive KT product! I figured it shouldn't be that hard to make tape with sufficient adhesion to last through 30 mins to an hour workout, leave alone a day or 2. There is an option to purchase a more expensive KT pro tape for better adhesion but surely! This Hampton Adams tape is less expensive and performs much much much better than the KT original cotton tape. Very very pleased! Knee support is excellent and my knee feels stable with pain significantly reduced. (note I have never used kinesiology tape before and this was my first foray into this). Update It is now day 4, Hampton Adams tape still holding up! What can I say? I'm sold!

I appreciate the benefits of kinesio tape. It can be very therapeutic, however after this tape was on for 3 days and nights, it tried to remove little pieces of my skin, making little blister things. Now I am not allergic to any tapes or adhesives, it just adhered very well and seemed to adhere better and better with time, to the point that it was painful to remove. DO NOT read this as a bad review, each person's results are unique and this is just a statement of mine. As far as being waterproof, it held up after nightly showers and survived life within my work boot for 3 days, there was barely any edge peeling and it did not develop lint balls all over like I thought it would. It made my stepping on my left foot much more comfortable. I just could not bring myself to use it again on that area. One last thing, it is not conducive to a good experience if you apply this over a hairy leg, hahaha.

My knees are starting to fail due to Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. Essentially, I have permanent meniscus tearing in both knees as well as "runner's knee" due to faulty cartilage. This includes fluid retention and severe chronic pain/numbness. Since I do not have Surgical options and was unable to have the nerves ablated, I found myself in need of a high quality, cost efficient taping option. I have braces but they are not able to support my kneecaps well enough to help... This is one of the more cost efficient options I could find. The large roll has lasted a lot longer than I expected! I've done multiple applications of this tape for my legs. I've also used it to assist with back pain, chest tension, and have even used it to help release tension headaches! While it doesn't have as much ability to adjust after it is placed in the same way KT brand options do, I generally like this more overall. It holds up for several days, and I usually have to remove/replace after about 4 days, but mostly because of elasticity wearing out rather than adhesive failure. I've worn it into infrared saunas, during compression therapy, through cryotherapy applications, I've showered with it and scrubbed over the tape with an exfoliating brush, and I've worn it into a pool. I was honestly impressed with the pool resistance especially at the last time I wore it in, because I had been wearing that tape set for probably 3 days and it held out through the entire ai chi session I did, and was still stuck to me when I showered afterwards. More often than not, I have to make a concentrated effort to release the adhesive on this tape no matter what I have worn it through, which is not something I can say about other brands. I very much appreciate being able to customize the length of tape that I need instead of having to do pre-cut pieces. I've done custom shapes and combinations of length to achieve the support that I need to help promote fluid movement while keeping my kneecaps in a better placement. I can definitely tell a difference when I use this tape as compared to generic brands and the like. My physical therapy provider has also asked for the name of the brand after seeing how successful it has been in providing the support that I need. The reality of it is, kinesiology tape is on the surface all going to do the same stuff, but the combination of the long lasting quality of this product alongside the length of the roll makes this a done deal for me. I plan to get as many colors as I can and I'm happy to feature them in my social media postings.

I chose this brand for the price and amount. It's cheaper than the alternatives. I don't know why KT tape was on shark tank. There's nothing special about this over other KT tape. I like that there's a grid for cutting. It's soft fabric. It sticks very well. I do have itching and lifting after the first day when I use it. I have very sensitive skin so any adhesive is a problem but I also have to handle my medical stuff. I have vascular Ehlers Danlos and I do recommend using medical adhesive remover like Goo Gone or the one made by Skin tac. These will save you from ripping your skin off. My cat tore some KT tape off of me and I ended up with a raw spot on my arm where the flesh didn't stay on my body. This is a testament to both how weak my skin is and how strong the tape is. Again I am confused as to why this is a shark tank product but if that's why it's affordable? Okay

All in all this product worked pretty well. Not quite as stretchy as I had hoped but stretchy enough. Stick was good and held up through physical activity. Left some residue but not a ton. Would have given it a 4 overall but it lost a star from the way my skin reacted in one spot. My skin blistered underneath it in one area, ripping open when I carefully removed the tape in the shower. I now have a couple painful spots that will not be able to be re-taped until healed.

I’ve been really impressed with the Hampton Adams Premium Kinesiology Tape. The adhesive is strong enough to stay on through workouts and even showers, but it doesn’t irritate my skin when I remove it. It provides great support without restricting movement, which is exactly what you want from kinesiology tape. The material feels durable and flexible, and it’s easy to cut and apply. Overall, it’s a reliable, high-quality option that performs just as well as more expensive brands.

Last a week but that’s not the tapes fault that’s because we sweat and shed skin. Still holds well even as our bodies shed. Doesn’t irritate skin but can leave a little residue behind and should be removed slowly. Takes about 30-60 minutes to sort of set and bond but once it does you can stretch and flex. Even works for adding some shape to body areas if needed but works wonders on sore joints and limbs Get it don’t even think twice. This is your KT tape you’ve been looking for.

Very poor quality, the adhesive patterns on the tape is wrong way around so the tape can't be stretched (looks like it was cut incorrectly in manufacture). Very disappointed with this product.

Es una cinta muy buena tiene buena adherencia

good product for the right price, easy on the skin. definitely recommend

Buena, no se despega, resiste dormir con ella. Satisfecha con mi compra. La volveré a comprar.

Clinically useful and much affordable price. However, 10-20% of my patients have skin allergy with it, not serious but need to monitor. No problem, is acceptable.
