KT Tape, KT Flex Reinforced Adhesive Strips – 8 Pack, 10 in. Precut Strips in Black – Effective Support for Weak or Injured Knees, 2-Strip Application, Breathable, and Comfortable for Up to 3 Days

I love this product. I’ve had knee issues for years. It took me away from running but I finally decided to run my first marathon. After ordering multiple, multiple products for knee support there was nothing that provided the support AND feel comfortable for those long runs. I ordered the KT tape and used it on both knees during my long runs. This product helped me run mile after mile with no pain or discomfort to my knees. My knees felt supported at all time and it lasted through 26.2 miles of running with no issues. It fits better than other products that are bulky or rub against your other leg. One of the KT strips has a rubber bar imbedded that provides maximum support. The only negative for me was taking the tape off. It does stick very very well and it pulls on the skin as you take it off, but the tape is designed to really provide support.

My knee really hurt and I needed support. I looked for a knee brace, but the difference in circumference between my thigh and my calf was so great (2 size difference) that the knee braces and sleeves were not an option for me. I was warned that they would either fall off (because the bottom had no grip), be too small (on top), or provide no real support. I tried wrapping with ACE bandages and that kept slipping off within an hour. Finally a runner friend of mine suggested tape.I read all the reviews for these strips and took all the precautions for preparing my skin. I showered, shaved my legs, and then cleaned the area to be taped with alcohol. I then watched the video twice and applied the tape according to the video instructions (there's instructions in the box, but I like to watch folks do it). Anyway, the support was immediate and surprisingly strong!The box says they stay on 1-3 days. After 3 days, one inside strip started to come off, and the other one started coming off the next day. I used the shower to help me peel the rest off my legs. I don't know if the outside strips with the braces were ever going to come off! Today is day 6 and I'm going to my chiropractor, so I used the hand shower to shoot water under the tape as I gently loosened them up and peeled them off (pain free this way). They were not showing any signs of voluntary release!I bought a role of KT original cotton tape as well. I put this tape on to replace the inside strips that had come off. The tape provided good support, but only lasted for one day. Afterwards, I realized I didn't prep the skin in the same as I did with these strips. I hadn't shaved the places where this tape peeled up, and I had moisturized my legs. So, next time I use the regular tape, I'll prep the skin properly and see what happens.Bottom line, I was barely walking and these strips gave me enough support to do the hills and stairs of SF, lots of standing and walking as well as boot camp class (modified exercises of course). Now, I still hurt, but there was so much relief, I've been able to work and exercise till my doctor's appointment!

I like these a lot. These are sold as a set of four! Four strips are for the outside of the knee (reinforced) and the other four are less reinforced but still thicker than normal KT strips. One of each and you have yourself a decent knee brace/stabilizer. This is a great alternative to my thick knee brace and I can wear it under yoga pants and it doesn’t look crazy. The only problem was that one strip didn’t stick super well because I had put on lotion earlier. So shave and don’t use lotion and these things will stick for days! I will be buying more.

I've been using this product (the blue version) for a long time, it works great. Lately, this product has switched to the black version and it comes apart even before I started my exercise. The top layer that holes together the plastic fishbone support literally comes off within several minutes of me using the product. I thought maybe it was a defective pack, but since then I've used 3 different boxes of this tape. All of them has the same problem, the top layer comes off easily and the fishbone falls out. I'm desperately looking for an alternative to this unless they an bring back the blue product.

It’s KT tape it’s fairly standard. Works great. Take off in the shower and pull your skin tight so it doesn’t hurt when removing.TikTok and YouTube will show how to tape.

I have used this product now for several months, off and on. The first box I got at a box store retailer who no longer carries it. I had great success with this product! 5 stars!! It supported my knee through all of my figure skating moves and helped reduced my pain. It stuck well to my leg and I was getting 5-6 days out of each strip.BUT…when I ordered it again (twice now) each time the strip barely lasted a day with the plastic support piece popping out and the upper tape layer coming off. 1-2 stars! I thought maybe it was a defective box, but my second box was the same way. I am so disappointed! KT was on to a great product, but now it barely performs. I will be looking elsewhere for other support products.

Bought this several months ago to use as an alternative to my different knee braces, they do help and are not as cumbersome as my bulky knee braces. I am at the gym or a workout class everyday with sometimes multiple classes in the morning & or evening with getting multiple showers on those days. The first time I used this it stayed on even after taking a class in the am then a working in my yard, getting a shower and then going to a Zumba class the same day and it stayed in place. I bought pkg at my local big box store, the same brand, type, etc., but this time it wouldn’t stay, it started peeling off within a few minutes of getting in the shower. I still gave it 5 Stars bcz they definitely supported my knee and my knees weren’t hurting as much and didn’t feel like they were going to go out during my workout classes.
