Is this good for someone who reacts to most bandages and tapes?

I do not have allergies to tape. After a bit of time ( in NY winters and using the tape over and over) it will dry my skin out. The package states " Hypoallergenic and dermatologist tested." I like it and you can go through the shower with it :-) I hope this helps. Of course always ask your MD or therapist.

It is "hypoallergenic." That said, you just have to try. Try a small piece on the inside your forearm first, to see if you react. If you do, another choice for those with sensitive skin is HyTape, but it is not cushioning.

I can't answer your question. I found that it will stick and stay attached where some tapes won't.

I have no way of knowing. The only way you can find out is to buy a roll and try it.

I would think so. It definitely works for my son and he hardly feels the (sub cutaneous) shots that I have to give him now. It's worth trying.

I use a few of these at the self defense academy I teach at. They're not going to soften the blow as much as a High Gear suit, but it's a good level that I personally feel everyone should/needs to be able to handle.

In the middle of the night I taped my boyfriends wrists together with a couple of rounds of this tape and did the same to his ankles. Then taped his wrists to the headboard while he was still asleep. When he woke up he was madder than a spanked mama bear but couldn't get loose so it's pretty strong tape.I hope this helps you.

No. Very disappointed! Rolls bandages to loosely. Would not recommend to anyone.

Everyone responds differently. If you have had a GI reaction in the past. You probably will with this. However the higher quality the less chance of reaction.

It will be tough. You might need assistance to pull it on. And if you're leg is sensitive, I would certainly avoid it - it might be painful or pull on the bandage!

The size of the bandage really only depends on the wound. I've never planned to have any certain size or kind of injury, but it would be safer to have both, just in case. The six inch can be a little bit too big for the average medical kit when added to the assortment of other bandages, ointments, adhesive tapes, splints, painkillers and so on, but even more so if you have more than one of these bandages. The good news is, that regardless of size, they are sterilized and vacuum sealed to take up the least amount of space possible. I personally like the 4" more just for the simple fact it is easier to work with regarding pad and strap manipulation when applying the bandage. Also, if you ever have an instance where this dressing needs to be used as a tourniquet, the shorter width pad gives you precious seconds more to tighten down not only the pressure because your working with less surface area, but also with the length of the straps. The 6" pad takes longer to work as a pressure dressing or tourniquet and the straps are very, very long. The straps on the 4" are already long enough for any injury that they might be used for. And remember, If the vacuum seal is broken and you can squish the bag in your hands easily or even hear crinkling noises when handled, the item should be returned and you should get your money back, because the seal has been compromised and the package is no longer sterile, therefore it should never be used unless for tourniquet purposes only and there are no other sterile means of helping the injured individual right away.

This is a light tape but May leave some residue. I generally use it on wounds and there is some adhesive residue when I change the bandages after 24 hours. I use a Cpap and am wondering why you don t try a full face mask if you don t like a nasal mask

i use it for insanity and its great! It helps your feet get a good grip. I recommend buying a yoga mat, its not as soft and they will complement each other

Personally, I don't think it's good for anything. I still have a mark on my arm from wearing it for only 20 minutes almost a year ago. Proceed at your own risk.

I found that if the pads are not making sticking great you get a shock. When that starts I usually tape them down with medical tape (I use the type for sensitive skin). This has caused me to look for better pads. I found healthmateforever are better than no name

The entire thing is made of a very hard plastic. It does do WONDERS on the trigger points that I can reach! Thereare no special grips, as the design is such that most people can reach just about anywhere with it. If you have tough trigger points like I do, then it is definitely worth the investment, just one use is cheaper than getting a massage or going to a Physical Therapist. It wasn't until I read the instrction manual that I discovered that it can be used for Reflexology as well! I hope this answers your questions, if you have any more, please don't hesitate to ask me.

OMG, this is great for pain. I have some broken bones, in my wrist. I don't want another operation, had way to many doctors open me up to do operations, 7 total. So my doctor said my wrist is healing well by itself. Then told me about, the ActiveWrap. When the pain increases, I use it and my pain level goes back to zero, for a few weeks, then I use it again. It works well fits well. The secret is the water has to be hot, by the time you get the tip water in the pouch, and fitted to your wrist, it starts to cool down fast, so I use the microwave to get the water a little hotter, to last longer, be careful not to get the water to hot and burn your wrist.

I use it to protect my ankles and hands. However, you can use this tape for anything related to your joints.

Yes.It is a little stronger than I expected.I was looking for gauze for shredding like old curtains and it didn't shred as well as I hoped. I bet it would be great for a mummy. It is bright white, so expect to soak it in tea or something to make it dingy.
