Do you have to tape this to your skin, or how does is stay on?

It does stick but comes off too easy so a couple of times it disappeared. I started using tegaderm to keep it on and that works great. Then you just peel it off, wash it and then use again with a new tegaderm. It works great especially for flattening the scar and the redness.

No it stays on very well. One piece can be used over and over. A strip lasted me about 4 weeks.

I used it after I had wrist surgery and it does stick on the skin but I also had to wear something over it due swelling. It is like a real sticky piece of silicone.

as long as you put the tape on when it is clean and sweat-free, then you should be fine later along the day. At least, that's happened for me. When you take off the tape, there might be some spread out adhesive and oily substances, but the tape should be fine while you wear it.

I had the same question... it seems like it's a protective cover that should be removed or something, and rather than forming to the body at all, it makes them just slip around. Does anyone have suggestions on HOW to use these? They seem to move around a lot. Do you have to use tape or glue?

it's like a sheer bandaid brand bandage in stickiness. It might or might not stay on in a wrestling match. Depends on if the edges stay down or not. If there is a lot for friction and rubbing over the bandage itself then it will "roll" off but it the wound is located under a shirt or shorts chances are it will stay on because it has a lot of stretch/flexibility to it.

Yes it stays on .It sometimes slips down to cover your eyes but doesn't come off. I have used it for an alarm.

Did you clip it to the inside of your childs night wear? I found the direct contact with skin worked best for us. Hope this was helpful. Keep using it too. Don't give up!

It just uses a double sticky tape. I've had it on for 2 and a half years, holding fine. Just follow the instructions to a T. Be sure That it is warm enough. Take your time.

No, it is fine to leave it on. It just thickens up the grip a bit. Multiple layers of tape are a common way to make a grip a bit thicker.

I have never used the tape directly on my skin, but that could possibly work. Only way to know for sure is to go ahead and try it. Shouldn't be a problem and might be the solution you are looking for.

Apply directly to skin after cleaning. It'll feel like breathable Saran Wrap, it's about that thick. They are easy to remove if everything is moist underneath but when your skin is almost healed they can stick a bit.

I use it for a gel pad on the bottom or my foot. I put the Skintac on the bottom or my foot in the morning, let it dry a couple of minutes and then apply the gel pad. It keeps it securely in place all day. I have to peel it off at night. After two months I am very happy.

I believe the standard recommendation is to keep it on for 24 hours. I choose to leave it on for 36 hours. I have found that personally if I leave it on longer than that my super sensitive skin reacts to the non-reactive adhesive. That is probably due to my skin being covered and no air reaching it and not to the adhesive itself. The often recommended 24 hour period has no noticeable effect on my skin but a HUGE effect on my energy level. I hope this information has been helpful

No - it is very fur friendly and more like an ace bandage than 'tape'. There will be a bit of loose fur that will come off - but it is nothing like us having to pull a bandaid off... It really is a great product. always carry tape as you may have to secure it if there is a lot of movement.

I would put the product on the day before. Once it has been on for hours it won't wash or come off. Its not a lotion that can sweat off. I put it on at night before bed then shower in the morning. It will last for days after. Hope this helps.

When I apply my tape, I doing so, to keep it in place. I've had no need to peel it of (as of yet). As a matter of fact, I reinforce it w/ a layer of another clear tape to keep it in place. I hope that helps...kj
