Not what it used to be...
Short version:Original rolls purchased 2 years ago were just about perfect - 5 stars for sure.Recently purchased rolls have different glue. They are difficult to remove and leave residue that is also difficult to remove - 2 stars at best.I originally purchased a continuous roll and a precut roll about 2 years ago to use on my ankle. I also purchased another, cheaper fabric brand to try. These were fantastic. Really good adhesion and relatively easy to remove when dampened on left on for a few days. There the originally purchased tape did not irritate my skin very much and it supported and stretched wonderfully. I give those original rolls 5 stars.As those original rolls were running low, I went to look for some new stock however the manufacturer did not have it. I wrote them and they said they were expecting it soon. A couple months later, it was finally in stock again and I ordered it. Initially, it felt the same. It stuck well, supported and stretched well. I was happy... until I tried to remove it. The glue on this new batch is actually much stronger than the original tape I had. Even when soaked in water, the glue releases from the fabric and stays on your skin. I need to wash my foot in 95% alcohol to get the glue off. If I try to take the tape off without soaking it, it leaves some serious red marks that take time to heal.I'm not sure what happened. Maybe I just received a bad roll... I'm not sure. All I know is I cannot use this daily like I did the original roll. It's disappointing. Hopefully they get this all sorted out again. I haven't written them off yet but I am looking at other products again.

AWESOME!!! My new favorite kt tape.
First I want to say to all those who reviewed this product but don’t know how to use it, the whole purpose of kt tape is to help with many differ types of pains/strains/support AND to stay on that area for several days in a row. This is NOT a bandage or brace or moleskin. Do not treat this like it is a bandage or brace or moleskin because you will be very unhappy, like so many of the negative reviewers. The internet has endless amounts of information, use it! Inside this package, is a paper directing the consumer to go online to get instructions on how to use the product, complete with videos.YES! This is very sticky! That’s the whole point in keeping it on for several days in a row. Do NOT rip it off! You will be in excruciating pain and most likely will take some skin with it. If you must absolutely remove it prematurely, use baby oil and saturate it to loosen the adhesive. You will need a fair amount of baby oil to saturate it and patience. Better yet, use the cotton version because it’s less sticky and it’ll be easier to saturate with baby oil to remove.I tried this because the brand I usually purchase was out of stock until the end of the month. However, that brand can get very pricy and I was also looking for something comparable. I purchased the pink continuous roll (saved me a few dollars...worth a try).I loved the reviews that talk about how sticky this is. That means, this WILL stay on for days!!! That’s the whole purpose of kt tape. So those reviews are the reason I decided to give it a try.I had my ACL reconstructed 1.5 years ago and I am having some problems with it. I have been taping the back of my knee, inside, outside and full knee. The back of the knee and the inside seem to be the two areas that definitely need the help of kt tape. So far I am very happy with U Flex. It hasn’t lifted at all, though it has frayed some but it’s still in place and I can feel a difference between this and the cotton version of that other brand (kt). I don’t mind the frays as long as it doesn’t compromise the integrity of the tape.Looks like I will be sticking with this brand as the other brand I mentioned (kt), sent me an opened, used and returned package they listed as new and at full price. I returned it and my review included photos of what I received. I will try to update if anything changes...

PRE-CUT TAPE STRIPS ARE THE WAY TO GO!
These pre-cut strips are so much easier to apply— from start to finish each step is made more simple to apply and you don’t need anyone else to help you!!

Great KT tape option for allergies
I used to use KT tape all the time with zero issue, now I randomly have an allergic reaction to all KT tape adhesive. I bought this because it’s less sticky than the normal ones, less sticky means less of the glue that bothers my skin but still the benefit.I’m able to use this for working out and I remove after each use so I limit the exposure I get. This tape honestly wouldn’t last multiple days so if you do not have a skin sensitivity I would not recommend this tape as the normal ones would last longer and you’d get more use on it. If your like me and the glue bothers you this is a great option.

Supportive but glue sticks to skin!!
I’ve used name brand KT Tape for years. I thought I’d try a different brand. The support is good - comparable. However, when I tried to remove the tape, the glue stuck to my skin….badly. I had my perineal tendon wrapped (ankle) so it was from my lateral edge of my foot and up the lateral side of my calf, and the second strip was from the medial side of my ankle, under the heel, and up the front of my shin. The glue stuck to every part of that application - including the bottom of my foot! It irritated my skin pretty bad. Then, to top it off, It took me 30 minutes to get the glue off with lemon oil and acetone! I’m holistic so rubbing acetone on my body was very upsetting!!! And since my skin wasn’t easy irritated from the removal, lemon and acetone didn’t feel too good!! I would not recommend this product if you have sensitive skin and will be trying to return the product. Very sad as the application was easy and the adherence was good - too good. I had the two strips on for two days

Great Value
Great Value. Be sure that skin is clean prior to application. I have it on my archilles tendon area. I rub it gently to warm the adhesive so it sticks well. Then I put a nylon type sock over it so my compression ski sock does not curl up the ends as I put those on. After it has been on awhile it sticks very well and I leave it on for 2 to 3 days, even showering with it.

Good product 👍
I wanted to use this tape a few times before leaving a review & I’ve found this tape to be really good stuff - it looks & feels the business - good colour - really nice & sticky backing which is great avoiding the need for adhesive spray first - good stretch to it so you can obtain the right tension - good support for those vulnerable ligaments & tendons etc. especially as I’m getting older, & stays put on your skin without rucking up or slipping while sweating hard during a workout. Love that it comes on a large size roll & at a good price too! Would definitely recommend 👍

Endtäuschend in der großen VP
Ich hatte das flexU Supreme in einer Einzelverpackung (Dose) zum Testen erworben und war begeistert. Super Klebefähigkeit, Wasserfest und extrem stabil. Da ich das Tape in kontinuierlich im Einsatz habe und auch schon verschiedene Tapes probiert hatte habe ich mich entschieden die 35m Rolle zu kaufen. Offensichtlich habe ich hier entweder ein überlagertes Produkt erwischt oder die Verpackung in der Dose hält das Tape länger frisch. Das Tape aus der 35m Rolle klebt bei weitem nicht so perfect wie der Erstkauf. Ich habe die Vermutung das es an dem heißen Wetter die letzten Monate liegt. Das Tape ist stellenweise wie ausgetrocknet. Ich habe den ersten Meter verklebt und festgestellt das es am Rand nicht so klebt wie es soll und musste das mit einem Zusatzstreifen fixieren. Das Band ist auch nicht so elastisch wie das verbrauchte Referenz Tape. Leider ist auch die Dose mit den vorgeschnittenen Tapes ähnlich schlecht. Ich bin schon fasst geneigt die ganze Charge zurückzuschicken. Falls ihr das gleiche festgestellt haben wäre es schön wenn ihr es in den Kommentar schreiben würdet.

mmmm there are better
The big problem I found with this tape it leaves 30% of the sticky stuff on you when you remove it and its terrible to get. off!!! your choice because its quite effective for support during cycling.
