Is this tape water resistant? How long does each application last with daily showers?

I forgot to mention in the previous message, but be sure to get a can of Tuf-Skin at the same time. Spray your skin first. Let it dry a little until tacky. Then tape. Stays on MUCH better. Maybe even spray the corners of the tape where other part will lap over it.

It is not water resistant and needs to be changed daily, at least for my daughter. She uses it when she plays volleyball and she works up a sweat.

It depends where the tape is applied and your skin typle. I have very oily skin and when I applied the tape to my left arm, it lasted only a couple days with 2 daily showers. Some of my clients said it stayed on between 5 - 7 days. If you want a longer lasting tape, I would recommend the Kinesio Tex Gold Tape. Hope this helps

The water doesn't seem to be as much of an issue as movement. I have not had much luck with it staying on with or without the shower. It is good for a daily application, but you should expect to use additional tape or perhaps glue, which I have not yet tried. My application runs the length of my leg at an angle from mid thigh to my lower calf. It is not fully stretched, but just gently pulled and supposed to train my body to remove fuild from my surgical leg. :-(

It's certainly water resistant, albiet not waterproof. It usually last me multiple days (3+) - I just try not to get it super wet if possible. Pat the water off after you shower and let air dry completely before covering with clothing. It also lasts longer if you shave the area before application.

I wear it through an aggressive workout and shower and it holds up okay. It doesn't seem to be the water that makes it lose it's stickiness more just rubbing it with my body or clothes. I use it I. My calf and I definitely notice a reduction in pain but only get on to two days out of each application. I still would recommend this product! Good luck!

Water resistant is probably the right term. The less exposure to water, the longer it lasts, of course. Daily showers are no problem. I swim for an hour with it. I can get about 5 days out of it before it gets too scruffy-looking. Got 6 days once when I didn't swim. DO NOT DRY IT with a blow dryer or you will get a burn on your skin from the adhesive! That's a big warning. Just let it air dry.

I have not tried that yet. However I do not think it may be water resistant.

I wouldn't call it water resistant, but mine stays on 4-5 days. I do try and keep the foot up on the edge of the tub and out of the water as much as possible. during my showers. And I do dry it with my hair dryer on low setting and at least 12 inches away so that I don't burn myself. Making sure that your foot is clean before applying the tape is critical if you want the tape to remain on. I cut off the edges that start to detach and that helps keep it on longer as well, plus rounding off the corners before application also helps.

The tape is water proof. I use tape to mark planters. When it gets wet sometimes the glue dose not work so good.

The tape is not too thin, has a matte finish. It is strong and waterproof through several showers. It holds the best of all the many types I have tried for use on my feet. It will stay on through several days of normal daily activities. I use it to hold exuderm dressings in place on my heels. Yes, Amazon is cheaper than Walmart for this product and has it in stock

I am not sure if it is advertised as such, but in my experience it is. For instance, I taped up some targets for shooting, didn't take them down that day, came back a week later and they were still there. Lasting a full week outside in the Florida summer where it's quite hot and rains every single day is pretty solid and better than any other tape I have used.

First, the tape is the same the surgeon uses to bandage surgery on my face. To me it is thin. It is matte. Yes it's strong and I would say it is not waterproof. Hope this helps.

I used it on my acrylic shower pan and it covered well and holds up fine, so far at least. That was about a year ago.Do make sure everything is very clean, as recommended in the instructions.

It normally stays on 2-3 days, sometimes I just trim the edges and it lasts longer. It's great tape!

It can last up to 6mos depending on how you use it and where its stored. It is very soft once you start using it, and it shouldn't be place on a shower shelf.

Naw it's been pretty dry here in so cal, I wouldn't expected it to be to waterproof although it does look and feel pretty seeled up I'm pretty sure it could handle a regular shower I wouldn't leave it out to long though

Phillips claims that it is 100% waterproof. However, I've never attempted to use it in a shower.

The bottle says to reapply every 2 hours. It does not specifically say that it is water resistant, but from our experience, it is. Does a great job!

Water resistant...and I mean very resistant..Waterproof, I haven't been in a downpour with it so can't say. But in drizzle all stayed dry

You should definitely reapply every 2 hours, more frequently if you are wet/sweating/toweling off. The tube says it will last for 80 minutes.

Even masking tape becomes one with paint if left on more than a few days. It's more a question of when not if. I have no direct experience but would guess you would be okay for a day or two. It has a stickiness similar to electrical tape.

This tape is good and sticky. So far, I have had no problems with it. However, I usually erase different sections at a time, as I use it for school scheules, work schedules, to do lists, etc. I have not tried to clean the whole board yet with the cleaning spray, but I think it would be still be fine.

This isn't really supposed to be a long term tape, but yes it could work. It sticks enough and is flexible. It would also depend on the application- is it going to get wet/cold/hot? That will make a huge difference.

Even with the tape, they won't stay put after a shower. I usually take the pads off when I shower and put them back on after I am completely dry. You can wash them with soap and water every few days to "reactivate" the adhesive (it's a bit tricky because they tend to curl up). I get about 4-5 days of use before throwing them away.
