User questions & answers

Question:	will this work way up on my thigh and groin area
Answer:	If by “will this work”, you mean will it stick in these areas, the answer is yes.
Question:	Is this one water resistant
Answer:	I have worn it in the shower. I was told the black tape is more water resistant but also that it is rougher on your skin.
Question:	It says bulk, but what is the actual dimension
Answer:	The box lists the dimension as 2-inches X 103.5-inches (5CM X 31.5M).
Question:	Is this the best brand? The quality of how
Answer:	I can't say if it is the best, however, this is the brand and type my lymphedema therapist uses. She calls it "miracle tape". I think it may be a matter of preference, but I use only this type and brand.

Kinesio Tex Classic – Muscle & Joint Support Tape

Kinesio Tex Classic, the tape that launched an industry! Kinesio continues to provide the world famous design that set the standard for Kinesio Taping practitioners worldwide. From medical professionals, elite athletes, weekend warriors, soccer moms to everyone (that breaths or moves) Kinesio Tex Classic provides high quality and consistent results. Perform your Best with Kinesio Tex Classic!

From elite athletes and weekend warriors to neurological and pediatric patients, Kinesio Tex Classic provides users with high-quality, consistent results. The unique combination of thinness, elasticity and adhesive wave pattern allows Kinesio sport tape to microscopically lift the skin and create a space between the skin and the underlying tissues that relieves pressure, irritation and inflammation. Our therapeutic tape can be used as sport, athletic and medical tape as it works to reduce pressure on the lymphatic drainage system, which allows for the dispersal of fluid that can cause swelling and edema.

Kinesio Tex Classic tape is lightweight, comfortable and supportive to aid athletes and active users with lower back, knee, elbow, shoulder and muscle pain. Our elastic therapeutic tape is hypoallergenic and latex-free, and utilizes high-grade cotton that can be worn continuously for 3-5 days for maximum effectiveness. Our heat-activated adhesive backing is made of porous material that helps moisture dissipate quickly, allowing it to withstand sweating, showering and swimming! Rather than using conventional taping to tightly wrap sore, swollen muscles and joints, use Kinesio Tex Classic to enhance circulation and relieve painful inflammation!

The Kinesio Taping Association highly recommends that you consult a CKTP (Certified Kinesio Taping Practitioner) prior to applying Kinesio Tex Tape.

About Kinesio Tape

Dr. Kenzo Kase is an American-trained chiropractor, best known as the inventor of Kinesio Tex Tape and the Kinesio Taping Method. Elastic therapeutic tape has become a common modality in rehabilitation, and it started with Dr. Kase. Kinesio Tape is highly recognized in the sports arena; however, its origins were not directly related to sports. Dr. Kase recognized the need for a new approach in the 1970s when he was observing and treating rheumatoid arthritis patients.

He wanted a modality that would allow his patients to continue to receive the benefit of his treatment in-between visits, to “take his hands home with them.” Dr. Kase designed the Kinesio Taping Method to facilitate the body’s natural healing powers, and Kinesio Tape to meet the unique requirements of his method. Forty years later, his method has changed how rehabilitation is practiced. Each roll of Kinesio Tape continues Dr. Kase’s vision, by allowing patients to take the treatment home.

Why Use Kinesio Tex Classic?

Kinesio Tex Classic employs a unique combination of thinness, elasticity and adhesive wave pattern that microscopically lifts the skin and creates a space between the skin and underlying tissues. This results in relief from soreness, pressure and irritation caused by injury or chronic conditions and can also enhance lymphatic drainage. The elasticity of Kinesio Tape also provides muscular support to injured or weak areas without restricting range of motion.

What Is Kinesio Tape Made Of?

Kinesio Tape is made of 100% high-grade cotton for comfort and breathability, and contains no latex or medications. The backing contains a light, medical-grade adhesive made of 100% hypoallergenic acrylic. Unlike traditional athletic tape, most Kinesio Tape applications can be worn for 3-5 days to allow the therapeutic benefits to continue, 24 hours per day. Kinesio Tape is made to withstand sweating, showering and swimming without coming off or irritating skin.

How Is Kinesio Tape Used?

The Kinesio Taping Method is an approach to therapeutic taping that involves taping over and around muscles and joints, rather than wrapping them tightly as conventional athletic taping does. This increases circulation to the injured area, as well as lymphatic drainage, which reduces swelling, bruising and pressure on sensitive pain receptors. When worn continuously, Kinesio Tape provides support without restricting range of motion and can accelerate the healing process and limit down time.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is this price ($19.02- red) for one or two rolls
Answer:	This is an addendum to yesterday's response. My wife reminded me that we did receive only 1 roll initially. When we complained to the co., they apologized and sent the second. FYI.
Question:	Is water resistance an added feature for this particular tape and not others where this isn't specified
Answer:	I have found that the pink (or I think they call it red) is most water resistant. I have used it through showers for a couple days. The flesh colored kenesio tape does not seem to stay on as long

User questions & answers

Question:	Can you use this on your face cheeks
Answer:	I honestly have never thought about using them on my face
Question:	any latex? what other materials
Answer:	I do not know exact materials, shd b listed in ad. However I have used & latex breaks me out in a rash & this taping does not. I highly recommend. Kinesio is a high quality tape.
Question:	Does Kinesio fan cut adhere to skin as well as rolls u cut yourself
Answer:	it will as long as you prep the skin as instructed. like removing hair and cleaning thoroughly with rubbing alcohol. the ends will naturally start to unstick within a day or two depending on movement. the majority of the strip did last 5 days though.
Question:	Age use
Answer:	Don’t believe there is an age specificity however I personally would not put on anyone below puberty
Question:	Can you use on a 12 year old
Answer:	I don't know if there are age restrictions. It works great
Question:	How many applications in pack
Answer:	There is one application per pack.
Question:	Can you use the tape more than one use
Answer:	No, you can only use the tape one time so try to get it on correctly the first time. You can wear it 2-3 days.
Question:	is this add on item the classic or the gold? it is listed as the gold but the pictures and product description show and say classic. what do i get
Answer:	I recommend Gold, not classic, Kineseo tape because it lasts longer and the edges don't curl as soon. The Amazon link related to this discussion thread leads to a page labeled "Kinesio Tex Gold Classic Athletic-Tape, Red Pink, 2 Inch." What I actually purchased, liked, and reviewed is the "Kinesio Tape, 2" W X 16.4' L": http://www.amazon.com/Kinesio-Tex-Gold-Tape-Resistant/dp/B001VNE7TK/ref=cm_cr-mr-title
Question:	What is the difference between classic and gold tape
Answer:	I think they are the same thing, it has been called the classic gold tape as well.
Question:	Is this product water resistant
Answer:	Yes- this product is water resistant. Once applied correctly ( need to apply Skincote dressing applicator first) then use tape. It will last at least 5 days thru bathing and swimming. However- i have gotten 1-2 boxes that the tape did not adhere as it should . Amazon was great and replaced the product. Please check to make sure batch is not old. paper lining on tape should not be coming off.
Question:	Is it hard to get off
Answer:	Not at all. Gentle pull does it. Some slight discomfort if applied to body hair No need to remove in shower. Pat with towel to speed dry
Question:	does this tape have a paper backing
Answer:	Yes! It's elastic tape though used on muscles. Not to hold an ankle type tape.
Question:	What is the use for this tape
Answer:	I use this tape for lymph nodes - if you have had breast cancer, and have had lymph nodes removed, sometimes the arm will swell. I went to rehab and they showed me how to place the tape on my chest and reverse the flow of the lymph nodes - it does work. I now have my daughter using it as well for muscle injuries.
