SpiderTech PowerStrips are precut strips of kinesiology tape, already cut in the most widely-used configurations - the X Strip, the Y Strip and the I Strip. The SpiderTech Tape Y Strip has a lengthwise serration extending from one end toward a solid anchor end. When the ‘tails’ are separated and applied, the taping resembles the letter Y. When a muscle is injured, fatigued or weakened, the base of the Y is applied below the muscle, with the tails applied around the perimeter. With the backing on, the SpiderTech Y PowerStrip is 2" wide by 8" long, The tape has 140% elasticity, making it versatile enough to apply to areas like the arm, thigh, neck, back, ankle or calf. Because the tape is machine cut, the edges are smooth and the corners are rounded. This reduces the fraying and curling that can occur when kinesio tape is hand cut from a roll using scissors. The perforated backing is divided into numbered sections making application simple, even for those who are new to kinesiology taping. Y Strips can be used alone or combined with X Strips and/or I Strips. All SpiderTech products are made from premium SpiderTech Tape and can be worn 3-5 days.

Stays on and does not cause irritation
I am not sure how much it helps my arm, but it is gentle, it stays on for days. I even took a bath. I tried a roll of kinesiology tape that is not precut in the Y format. It did not stay on and it curled as others have said. This one does not curl. I had watched a video somewhere online that shows that you must not stretch the ends. I wish the tips of the "Y" had perforated tape.. I find it difficult to tear a little piece on each end leaving the paper on the end so that I will only stretch the center parts of each strand, but it works well when I do it. I gently take the bottom edge of paper off the tape and place it on my skin. Then I take off the middle of each strand and stretch it. With about an inch of paper left on each strand, I gently remove the paper and stick it in place without stretching, then I rub it well to warm it up as the directions say. It works. It stays on well and does not itch. I can wear it for days. My shoulder is getting slowly better. I am not sure if it is due to the tape, resting my shoulder, doing gentle exercises or all of the above but the product performs as advertised. It would be a lot better if the strands had a perforation in the paper at the ends.

kinesiology tape
After injuring my elbow in December I've had a lot of discomfort with "tennis elbow". This tape is marvelous. It enables me to do my daily work with minimal pain. It arrived in a timely fashion and I'm very satisfied with my purchase.
