Ares Kinesiology Premium Tape Purple 2 Inches x 16.5 Feet

I have been using KT tapes since last December, when my Physical Therapist used it to stabilize my kneecap injured in an accident. I cannot say how much how it helps with stability without the problems of sports tape (allergy) or ACE bandages (too tight, too loose, wrapping slips constantly. I am not having any allergy problems with KT. I get superior support, easing my pain. You DO need to learn how to apply them, cut and trim them etc. That said, once you get the knack you will love this aid. Gives me support, stabilization (love it more than Tommy Copper).However all KT tapes are NOT the same. If you opt for cheaper ones, you won't get the long lasting results or the needed support. Beast is tops, but ARES compares very well with it. It feels slightly lighter in fabric, but I found it to be very long lasting (5-7 days easily for me - be sure to dap at the tapes after showering - do not rub). This tape really works with your body heat to keep the saying power. I really rate it 4 1/2 stars - it did have a little stringing to the edges, but it didn't affect the overall use.

Really disappointed that the color is completely different to what is shown in the image. Rather than bright purple, it is a dark brown/purple color. Other than that the tape is okay.

When you apply this tape, to the place where you have pain, the pain goes away.

Works really well.
