Stays on even when wet
This tape holds securely through showers and hand-washing. It’s flexible and doesn’t peel easily, yet removes without too much irritation.Pros: waterproof, flexible, strong holdCons: adhesive is strong on sensitive skinBottom line: Excellent tape for waterproof bandaging.

Best waterproof support
I use this regularly for spica support. I have severe arthritis at 67. It wraps and sticks well. I am a jet engine mechanic, this tape will last a whole shift. Multiple hand washings, even an isopropyl soaking or two and it stays in place. Does not sweat off, even under tight rubber gloves. Comfortable, easy to set tension. Too tight aches, too loose no support. This tape will makes things simple and a lot less painful. Excellent product. Expensive.

Excellent tape that truly is waterproof
I’ve been using this tape on an injured finger. I find it to be excellent tape in a number of ways.The tape is easy to tear off and has outstanding adhesion properties. I use it currently a finger and am always washing my hands and the tape almost never loses adhesion. It is a must to put the tape on when the skin is dry, otherwise it will not adhere at all. Once placed on dry skin, it stays on all day, even through showering.When I remove the tape, there is no residue whatsoever left behind. I am overjoyed with this property of the tape.When placing the tape in my finger, it has excellent stretching capabilities, so I can easily adjust the pressure of the wrap.Additionally I use this tape to cover cuts when I am working in an environment where the cut could get dirty. I had a small slice on my palm and I would place a piece of tape on my hand to keep with clean while working in the garden or washing dishes. The tape worked extremely well. Again, it only sticks to dry skin first, once stuck on it remained stuck while washing dishes and other activities.A great tape to have around when you need it.

Perfect For Wearing On our Fingers When Playing Golf
I use tape on several fingers (picture Tiger’s hands) when I play golf and this tape works great. It is sticky enough to stay in place even when my hands get hot and sweaty. I’ve used many, many rolls over the years!

Would have given 5 stars if it were easier to remove
It’s definitely waterproof and sticks to skin like crazy, so it does exactly what it says! Only reason for 4 stars: if your skin is really dry, taking it off is difficult and not so pleasant and also if you sleep with it on, you might sweat underneath it a lot if you get hot at night. That being said, it really is waterproof and doesn’t budge. I had to have a bunch of surgeries and two were to put in and replace a drainage bag I my liver so I was really worried that the hole in my side would lead to infection but since I kept it really clean with rubbing alcohol and then used gauze and THIS specific tape, nothing got in while I had the bag in my side (liver) and after it was taken out up until it healed with no infections at all. I considered that a miracle because I had that bag in for 3 months and it was always in the way and I thought for sure something would get in the hole in my side. Thanks to this tape, nothing ever did. Literally a lifesaver.

Nexcare products are great!
Love using this flexible foam tape for support on my wrist and hand while golfing. Also use it along the sides of my knees or on elbows when necessary for reinforcement. It sticks really well and just feels like another layer of thick skin, but provides extra support right where you need it. You can use it along any joint for great mobility if applied correctly.

Since it is a package for 6, it creates less waste the 6 individual packages.

Las he usado varias veces y cumplen perfectamente. Se adhieren muy bien a la piel y no se despegan con el agua, incluso en la ducha. Son cómodas, discretas y protegen la herida sin problema. Muy buena calidad, como suele pasar con los productos de 3M.

Its really great, sticks like nothing else, Its water-proof. I always have a roll of it on hand and use it in place of band-aids most of the time as long as cotton dressing is not required. My kids ask for a band-aid frequently for things that really don’t require one. Its perfect for those situations and makes the kids happy. I also use it as general tape for a multitude of things. Its part of my essentials along with Gorilla Crystal Clear Repair Duct Tape which is downright amazing. Definitely recommend it, I never let myself run out.

ich hatte irgendwo den Tipp gelesen, mit dem Locher kleine Pads aus diesem Pflasterklebeband auszustanzen und vorne auf die AirPods zu kleben. Super Idee, seitdem rutschen die AirPods nicht mehr aus den Ohren, auch nicht beim Joggen. 2-4 kleine Pads vorne am Rand sind auch nicht am Ohr sichtbar. Problem nur beim Ausstanzen mit dem Locher, man sollte den Streifen, vorher auf ein Antihaftpapier kleben, damit die ausgestanzten kleinen Pads auch aus dem Locher bekommt. Ich habe dazu z.B. vom Backpapier etwas abgeschnitten und das Klebebad darauf geklebt, so konnte ich die Pads auch wieder gut von dem Papier lösen
