Helping KT Tape stick

skapo72

Does anyone have any cool tips for helping KT Tape stick on longer? I already spray hairspray and let it dry before applying the tape, and rub the tape down so it gets warm and sticks.

Make sure you skin is clean and dry more than anything else.

I used this tape during my PT after all my surgeries and these were the tips I got.

1. Clean your skin with alchol before putting it on so there is no oil, soap residue or mosturizer left behind
2. When you put on the tape rub the ever-living crap out of it in ONE DIRECTION... Since it was on my leg I did up and down only
3. If it starts to roll or come up during the week... hit it with your hair dryer set to low and re-rub the tape onto the leg

When I followed these steps my tape stuck for a good week between changes!! O, and don't use the "sensitive skin" one... it falls off in a just a couple days no matter what you do!! If you are very active try the "Rock" tape instead which has some crazy staying power!

Just ordered some of the pre-tape spray, the reviews on it were great. All the tips were awesome. Thanks, guys!
