User questions & answers

Question:	why does it say 1 count but then 24 rolls
Answer:	Because the 1-pack was out of stock. You're only other option was 24 packs. Had the same problem, I believe.
Question:	How long is this medical tape
Answer:	There is 10 yards on a roll of this tape.
Question:	is this the type of old fashion tape that can be written on
Answer:	Its white silk cloth tape, not coated on the side without adhesive. If you write on it with ink, the ink will slowly wick along the fibers and the writing will gradually smudge. Depending on how old your fashion is, you could be thinking of a canvas cotton tape with a heavy layer of white paint or plastic. I haven't seen the coated canvas tape lately. White 3M electrical tape takes ink well and the rate at which it smudges is as slow as the white coated canvas tape, i.e. low cost ball-point pen remains legible for at least 5 years, which was longer than the adhesive on the coated cotton tape lasted, fine point felt tip lasts for more than 10, and the limit is not smudging. While the adhesive on the 3m electrical tape will last almost indefinitely, my experience has been that ink from Sharpies faded after 12 to 15 years.
Question:	Is the adhesive vegan? Is this product tested on animals
Answer:	I am a mammal and I tested it. I give it two thumbs up!

Nexcare Gentle Paper Tape FAQs

For Nexcare tape rolls that do not come with dispensers, run your finger around the roll until you feel a ridge. This is the edge of the tape. Use your fingernail to lift up the edge, then unroll whatever size piece you need. The tape tears easily by hand, so no need for scissors.

Tip: turn a short piece at the leading edge of the tape under to create an easy starting point for the next time you need it.

How do I remove a bandage/tape or dressing that will not release easily from my or my child's skin?

If a bandage, tape or dressing is not easily releasing avoid pulling on it, instead work a little baby oil or cooking oil into the adhesive to help the product release from the skin. Or use ice (covered with a paper towel) for 5 minutes or less. Ice will make the adhesive brittle, which may cause it to release.

Do you have any products for sensitive skin?

If your skin has a tendency to react to adhesive, try our line of Sensitive Skin Products. They were designed for easy removal and are repositionable. Available in a bandage, tape, dressing and eye patch. Nexcare Gentle Paper Tape is also available in a 1" x 10 yd. roll; 2" x 10 yd. roll and a tape dispenser (3/4" x 8 yds).

User questions & answers

Question:	Twice in one week I ordered a box of 12 rolls and received a box of 6 rolls. Why? I like product, but needed the box of 12 rolls
Answer:	The exact same thing happened to me. When I turned the box over I saw the wrong SKU sticker on the box. I ordered 12 rolls of 1” tape, but received 6 rolls of 2” tape. Not sure if it’s on the Amazon fulfillment site or the supplier site that made the mistake. It’s truly aggravating!.
Question:	does this have same adhesive as the 3M transpore
Answer:	A little thinner & less sticky than 3m but adheres just the same. I have no issues using this tape to bandage my wound.
Question:	Is there any plastic in the packaging or product? I’m looking for a product that plastic free (both materials and packaging
Answer:	I use this tape every day, but sorry, the core that the tape is wound around is plastic. I see someone else said it was cardboard but my 1" tape from Medpride has all been plastic. The 2" micropore paper tape from 3M does have a cardboard core.

User questions & answers

Question:	Will this hold if person is sweating
Answer:	Hi - Thank you for your inquiry. Yes it will hold. If you have any further questions, please reach out to us at [email protected].
Question:	Are there 12 rolls, each 10 yds long
Answer:	Yes there are. This is what they used to stick on the plastic eye patch after my eye surgery. I had difficulty finding the same tape in my local drug store so I turned to Amazon. This tape has a more cloth like feel to it instead of the plasticky feel that the store bought kind does and is much better for the use I needed it for.
Question:	Is this good for assisting with keeping an ace bandage on
Answer:	Yes, this tape is strong and sturdy. Be careful and use the amount of tape that the ace bandage needs to be secure and successful. Can't be stingy with the amount of tape that you use otherwise the movement of your body will simple cause the ace bandage to come loose.
Question:	Could this be used to hold lips closed at night for mouth breathers
Answer:	It would probably work if the persons skin is oil free. However repeated use might irritate the skin. It would be worth a try. This is a really good tape and it can be used for many things and you can tear it to the lengths you want without using scissors.
