It's both supportive and has the best stick of everything I've tried so far. This stuff really sticks for days with showers, sweat, changing clothes and bed sheets at night. That being said, if you frequently want to take it off and reapply, it can irritate your skin. Be prepared to leave it on, which is generally the goal. The tape fabric is on the thicker and stronger end of the spectrum as far as kinesiology tape goes. I've found it to be very supportive and helpful for ankle, knee and connective tissue recovery. I get a good 3-5 days or more from one taping, which saves time and money in the long run. There are plenty of PT videos to demonstrate good taping techniques. I recommend watching a few for reference. (I've seen folks on desertcart with videos where they touch the sticky part of the tape, so it's no wonder people can't get any tape to stick using that method.) If you're not use to taping, it's awkward at first getting it on right, but eventually gets easier with practice. (A less expensive, less sticky tape can be used to practice if you need to get your technique down first. That will save money and skin removal if you try several times in one sitting. It's especially challenging when you're twisting in funny positions and trying to see what you're doing.) In short, to get the most bang out of your buck, wash your hands and skin first and let everything completely dry. Leaving at least 1.75 - 2" at each end that is applied without stretch prevents the tape from wanting to recoil at the ends, which will keep it in on longer. (The tape is 2" wide for reference.) Apply without touching the sticky part at all, this makes a huge difference. This can be achieved by not pulling off all the paper backing at once. Hold the tape with the paper still on the sticky part as you apply. Fold the tape to crease the paper and tear / break the paper at the crease. Start from around 2" from one end (or the middle) and remove the paper from the inside out. Hold it at the end with the paper backing still on and peel sections as you lay them down (Watch a video to see this). If you apply multiple strips get them on at the same time so everything stays clean (residue free) and dry. And finally, lightly and vigorously rub the applied tape with the paper just removed (printed side glides better than shiny side) to create some friction and heat so the tape adheres better to the skin. Take care not to catch the edges of the tape when rubbing. You can round the corners when you first cut your strips to help from catching an edge later. Blot the tape dry with a towel out of the shower rather than rub it. Review: Good quality - skin friendly - I tried another brand first which was precut and somehow it gave me a bad rash. While the one my PT used never gave me a rash. Then I checked the brand and bought the same. It works like a charm and doesn’t give me a rash ## Features - The authentic original elastic muscle and medical tape invented by Kinesio founder Dr. Kenzo Kase; made in the USA - Kinesio is the premium sports tape and taping method to lift the skin to create space between the skin & tissues layers - Relieves discomfort & inflammation from plantar fasciitis, knee pain, back and other injuries - Kinesio Tape adhesive technology is the preferred choice of professional therapeutic practitioners worldwide - Highest grade cotton is water resistant and can be worn continuously for 3-5 days; Hypoallergenic & Latex-Free - Hypoallergenic and latex free for all patient populations - Utilizes a high grade cotton for breathability and comfort - Provides entry level pricing point which enables all to use authentic Kinesio Tex ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B001ED8JM8 | | Adhesive Format | Narrow Tape | | Adhesive Side Count | 1 | | Best Sellers Rank | #39,505 in Health & Household ( See Top 100 in Health & Household ) #72 in Athletic Tapes & Wraps #2,705 in Sales & Deals | | Brand | Kinesio | | Brand Name | Kinesio | | Clean Removal Time | 5 days | | Color | Black | | Compatible Material | Skin | | Configuration | Black, 2 in. x 13 ft | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 2,248 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00850989002416 | | Item Resistance | Water Resistant | | Item Weight | 0.07 kg | | Manufacturer | Kinesio | | Material | Cotton | | Material Type | Cotton | | Model | KINESIO-45024 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Packs | 1 | | Part Number | KIN/010 | | Size | 2x157 Inch (Pack of 1) | | Size Name | 2x157 Inch (Pack of 1) | | UPC | 764442986420 802308765397 850989002119 850989002416 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Warranty Description | Subject to the written warranty from the manufacturer that accompanies the product. | | Water Resistance Level | Water Resistant | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Kinesio - **Color:** Black - **Material:** Cotton - **Number of Items:** 1 - **Recommended Uses For Product:** Body, Sports ## Images ![Taping - Elastic Therapeutic Athletic Tape Tex Classic - Black, 2 in. x 13 ft - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81ri9wl9rnL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Can you cut the 2” long ways and have it be just as effective?** A: Yes, you can cut it into 1” strips just like the pre-cut tape.

While the one my PT used never gave me a rash. Then I checked the brand and bought the same. It works like a charm and doesn’t give me a rash ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Does seem to help *by D***Y on October 6, 2013* I bought Kenesion Tex Classic tape to help me with my Plantar Fasciitis. I bought KT TAPE PRO Synthetic Elastic Kinesiology 20 Pre-Cut 10-Inch Strips at the same time; Kenesio was less expensive and I figured I would "practice" with it before using the more expensive KT. So I started with the Kinesio... for two 'treatments' or wraps. I have to say that I like the Kinesio better than the KT. First, it just seems to provide better support. Second, I used the Kinesio twice for almost a week each time with no allergies, skin problems, etc. However, after using the KT after the first time, for less than time than the Kinesio, my skin was all dried out and peeling in a number of areas so it seems that there is something in the adhesive that my foot didn't like. And last, the KT did not stay on my foot as long as the Kinesio did. Bottom line, I would buy the Kinesio again. If you use the Kinesio, remember to round off the corners; it will stay on much longer. 90 degree corners will start to come off a lot faster than rounded edges. The KT was nice in that it came with rounded corners. ( I used the KT as the pattern for rounding my Kinesio tape.) The taping did seem to help lessen the pain of the fasciitis and allow me to spend more time on my feet. I watched several videos before deciding on how to tape it and tried a couple of different patterns before finding one that worked best for me. I also purchased a night splint and heel inserts and the overall treatments seems to help unless I do more than normal standing or walking. ## Frequently Bought Together - Kinesio Taping - Elastic Therapeutic Athletic Tape Tex Classic - Black – 2 in. x 13 ft - Kinesio Taping - Elastic Therapeutic Athletic Tape Tex Gold FP - Bulk Roll - Beige – 2 in. x 103 ft - THERABAND Resistance Bands, 50 Yard Roll Professional Latex Elastic Band For Upper & Lower Body & Core Exercise, Physical Therapy, Pilates, At-Home Workout, & Rehab, Green, Heavy, Level 4 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sc/products/4944246-taping-elastic-therapeutic-athletic-tape-tex-classic-black-2-in](https://www.desertcart.sc/products/4944246-taping-elastic-therapeutic-athletic-tape-tex-classic-black-2-in) --- *Product available on Desertcart Seychelles* *Store origin: SC* *Last updated: 2026-10-14*
