THIS IS SO COUNTERFEIT!
I never leave bad reviews. But the fact that this is a so-called “Amazon Choice,” is just ridiculous. So I’m going to tell you about this “authentic” KT tape with Amazon’s seal of approval.
I frequently buy the authentic KT tape at CVS. (I’d call my husband addicted, but he wouldn’t.) So I stumble upon this product. Hmm, it would be so much more convenient and definitely cheaper, so I bought four rolls. The result is I have to return four rolls.
While I have both versions in front of me, here’s the skinny: This tape is thinner and it feels different - the texture of the fabric is not as silky. This tape does not adhere for as long as or as well as the KT tape purchased at CVS. This tape tears pretty easily and by experience, I’ve found that real KT tape is almost impossible to tear. And to round it all out, it gave my husband a slightly red, kinda itchy rash where the tape was applied and and for about a half-inch outline. (This condition generated a lot of complaints from him, but cleared up with a benadryl plus a nap.)
So buyer beware! Don’t end up like me - at the post office.
