   I have been using this brand for a year now. I am a Physical Therapsit, marathon runner, cyclist, and other outdoor enthusiast. This is hands down the best tape I have found, especially for the price (my second favorite is rock tape, but it is very pricy). FYI- this is very sticky. If you have sensitive skin, you may not like this because it can sting taking it off and it often leaves a residue you have to scrub off. However, I will gladly endure that because this stays on much longer and doesn’t fray as bad as other tape. Overall, it works much better than KT tape and other brands.

   I also swim and the tape works well in the pool, however it does not survive the hot tub for any length of time.

   Of course proper skin prep (make sure the area is clean, wiping with Alcohol works well, DRY, and shaved) is an absolute must. Don’t apply over skin if they have applied oil or lotion. I can’t stress enough that you are wasting your time and money if you don’t properly prep the skin. I constantly have kids at my sons’ school who are in the athletic department who want me to tape them after they have started a work out, and tape simply doesn’t stick if they are already sweaty, have dusty legs, or have very hairy legs (plus did I mention how this stings taking it off shaved legs… this will downright hurt if you put it on over hairy legs and it happens to stick….which is kind of comical watching grown men who insisted I tape them pull off the tape.

   This is a 2 pack and are precut strips.

   If you haven’t used therapy tape before you need to watch on-line videos over how to properly apply. You should watch several videos, because some have inaccurate information.

   Good luck! Get outside and move!

   I’m an occupational therapist who works with a variety of upper extremity orthopedic diagnoses (pre-surgical, post-surgical) daily. There are a variety of k-tape brands that exist, but I find care science to be one of the best possible options for clients to use when they need to apply tape easily and without therapist assistance. The primary reason it is good to use is that the strips are pre-cut.

   This tape is useful for those diagnosed with DeQuervain’s Tenosynovitis, also known as “newborn-itis”, as those parents with a newborn baby tend to experience pain in the base of the thumb due to constantly lifting their child out of a crib. This product is also helpful with thumb/CMC (1st metacarpal) joint osteoarthritis, extensor carpi ulnaris, or flexor carpi ulnaris tendonitis, and/or triangular fibrocartilage complex sprain (unless a tear is evident). However, proper medical examination is required from a trained professional to ensure this is the right product for you.

   Style: The tape is sleek looking in either tan or black color. It is low profile and to the naked eye, people would likely not notice that you are even wearing it.

   Comfort: When applied properly, this product is extremely comfortable. K-tape has the unique property in which it can stretch to provide proper joint and muscle support. It is incredibly important to test maximum stretch (call it 100% stretch), this should be regarded as the no-go zone. When applying to yourself, stretch should only be 30-50% maximum because the tape can cause sheering or irritation on the skin if it is applied with too much stretch.

   Hygiene: You can wear this product while washing hands and bathing. This tape can usually withstand 1-3 days of wearing before needing to be thrown out. When removing, you can soak the hand / arm in water to loosen the fabric and avoid pulling arm hair and causing skin pain.

   Video demonstration: This is a quick taping method of how to apply for DeQuervain’s tenosynovitis “newborn-itis”. In this video, I don’t remove the adhesive backing, please be advised that you do need to remove the back piece in order to apply the tape which will adhere to your arm.

   **Disclaimer: My review should not be taken as medical advice, especially if there is no diagnosis given. You should always seek proper evaluation from a primary care physician, orthopedic physician, neurologist, or physiatrist before applying tape without a true known cause. Purchase and application of this product is at your own risk.

   Works wonderfully, except for one thing….it’s not easy to get the backing separated from the tape. That’s my only complaint. I always have to cut a piece off that folded over.

   Good tape. Helps with my shoulder pain when I’m playing pickleball. Easy to apply but sticks really well, making it difficult to remove. Otherwise great product.

   This tape is very affordable and has a very strong adhesive. I removed the tape after 2 – 3 days of heavy use. It peeled up some of my skin and left a lot of residue.

   Huge downside is the elastic is too loose, it barely provided support for my knee. The solution i have is too use only half the length of the strip and stretch it to high tension. this seems to work a bit better. The elastic seems to last for 2-3 days. At this time, for my needs, KT Tape pro provides better support.

   Comparison
   Care Science Copper Infused, Overly strong adhesive, elastic is too loose, elastic lasts at least 2 to 3 days.
   KT Tape Pro, Average Adhesive leaves no residue and doesn’t peel up skin, Elastic is stronger, Elastic lasts at least 2 to 3 days with obvious loosening on day 2 to 3.

   If you want less support for a longer period of time go with Care Science, if you want stronger support for 2-3 days go with KT Tape Pro
