Yes, I believe it will work. I bought it for blisters in golf and helped me continue playing after getting them.

i read some other' reviews; their complaint is that when it is "wet" (due to sweats) then the tape would slip; i can see that, it seems that it works well around the toes cuz there are lil spaces around them to move or slip. Short answer, it may not be good for your needs. :/

I'm not sure. It is a nice, soft stretchy tape, it certainly keeps the water out, so it could be worth a try.

It would be great as a preventive against blisters. I use it on a finger when I play golf. One wrap-around, for example, is sufficient for me.

It's the best tape I've found for rowing. If you only tape fingers, it will come off, but if you anchor it around your hand and in between fingers, etc. it will (mostly) stay on. I use it along with rowing-specific gloves that just came out on the market.

I would strongly recommend a real mouth guard, this pops on and off very easily, plus you need to worry about biting your tongue! Also most sports have pretty specific safety requirements.

I have always used it for 30 minute sessions with no problem whatsoever. A 15 minute time limit suggests physical endurance vs machine endurance. After 30 minutes I am in a full sweat. Note: I am 5'8", 133 lbs, in good shape, and keep the tension pretty high. I can't speak for machine performance with someone heavier using it regularly.

YES!!! That's mostly what I use it for and it's great! I don't swim laps competatively though, so I'm not sure how much it would impact your times, but the drag that is created is minimal and doesnt have a negative effect on the duration of my workout.

It stays through my workouts but I don't know about rubbing it, it will probably rub off. I'd think anything would :/

It isn't tape, it's "pre wrap", what you would use when taping an ankle underneath the athletic tape. There's no adhesive on this material.

There was some 'graininess' but it never seemed to pose a problem for me. It won't hurt it if you warm it slightly as with setting it in a cup of hot water for awhile. Your body heat would probably work with the honey on a bandage but the water would work best. It would be best to keep the actual applicator end out of the water but as with any honey the crystallizing is not abnormal. I visited my foot doctor this morning and she recommended the honey to another patient who had foot ulcers like myself. Both of us are a testament that the product works. My foot sores of almost a decade old are completely healed and his are very close. Good luck! There was some 'graininess' but it never seemed to pose a problem for me.

No. The tape only lasts for 1 application. It is waterproof and can be left on for 2 days (maybe 3 if you don't sweat too much!).

In blister packs, but not those impossible to break into blisters like Coricidin comes in. They are clear, kind of flexible plastic on one side and foil on the other, just a 'tad' lighter than heavy-duty Reynolds Wrap. Even w/ arthritis, you should be able to release the tabs from the pack.

I personally use it to wrap my fingers when I play golf, I do not wear a golf glove so I need to wrap my thumb and little finger on my right hand to keep from getting blisters!It is very tough tape, stays on even when sweating. You can not tear it laterally with your hands, must nick an edge then tear it. I have used it to wrap my wrist when playing Racquet ball day after day.

The nice thing about water resistance rowers is that your rowing speed controls resistance. My wife and I are different strengths but the rower works great for both of us. Can't recommend this enough.

I don't know how to respond to this ? . It depends on which tape. Ck you records the last shipment is great tape. The tape before this last shipment was terrible. Last shipment of tape is great. Really good tape , and I have been taping my mouth for 9 yrs ( I have Sleep Apena) .

Personally, I don't use it on my feet, but for getting in and out of my wetsuit and tri kit chaffing from distance cycling and running. My best recommendation would be to use a stick type of lube. For use on wrists, ankles, groin, heavy rub areas and pit areas...it works VERY well and keeps your hands fairly lube free.

Wear a sock underneath it. I wear this for sand Volleyball. Sounds a little dorky to wear it over a sock but it works. I love this bandage.. I'd buy another one. I'd also buy it one size smaller than your actual size, only because after hand washing it in Hot Water several times, it stretches out just slightly. I hope this helps.

I wear these for running, because I used to get pressure blisters between my toes and injinji socks help. I find that wearing more than one pair of socks (regardless of thickness) causes too much friction. Not sure whether to get this or thicker pair - I have both kinds and don't notice much of a difference between them.

I adore my machine. I bought a book on proper posture and form, which was helpful. The book stated that moderate rowing is a 3. I am pretty fit and find myself very comfortable at 4.5 for 5000 meters. I am 46. If I do intervals then usually a 4. If I power row, all in, a 5. Posture and breathing are key. Each person is different, though. My 38 year old husband find a 4.5 pretty challenging for 60 minutes.

Hello, and a Happy New Year to you! May I take the time to suggest that you see your doctor first. I am a senior now, and sometimes it just not easy. So I've taken upon myself this product get in gear with. I did do some homework on this product, and it seems to keep in the easy lane... See your doctor first... Thank you...WOOD
