Leukotape P Combi Pack

We bought this tape after it was recommended by a physiotherapist. My husband dislocated the AC joint in his shoulder. After consulting Dr Google and seeing good results with people taping up their injuries, he spoke to a physio who agreed it would help. The physio showed him how best to tape it up to support the joint and hold it in place while the muscle etc heals.The white tape is very soft and comfortable and provides a good base for the pinkish tape. We applied one strip along the shoulder from the neck down to the top of the arm. Then 3 more steps were added in a sort of star formation over and around the dislocated joint. Then the pink tape is applied over the top, except you apply quite a lot of pressure, pulling it as tight as you can. When done, my husband says that it's extremely supportive and comfortable.The pink tape is very strong and hard to tear but cuts easily with normal scissors. The white tape is also easy to cut and has a paper backing to it which is easy to remove.To take the strapping off, I strongly advise soaking it in the shower or you will remove skin -be warned!We started taping the injury every other day from 26th June and the white tape ran out yesterday (22nd July). Rather annoyingly, there is still half a roll of the pink tape left so we have had to buy more of the white tape. In all, it's done a really good job of supporting the shoulder so would recommend it if you consult someone who knows how to apply it.

These packs normally last me a long time as I only wear them during long running sessions (usually 10+ miles). I was recommended using these after my first knee injury, and was taught how to put it on. I would advise anyone purchasing these for the first time, to visit a physio and get a demonstration on how to apply as I would imagine making a half hazard attempt at applying might as well not be on at all.I have ran 2 marathons (and a few halves) with the help of these... I am sure they are not placebos. The strapping on my knees helps support them, and seems to absorb some impact, helping my knee joints.Sometimes, the bandage (white) does seem to come a little loose, especially if it's over stretched when applying. So I would recommend to use this a little mire liberally than the plaster looking one. I have also worn knee supports or running tights to help the tape keeping place during long runs.All in all, I would definitely recommend or at least encourage anyone who needs that extra support to give this product a go. It's worth the investment for the price.

Great product. originally bought this from the physio but as I don't need to go back at the moment, just keep strapping, it has been brilliant to buy it with delivery for less than the cost of the product + bus fare!!! Only drawback is that there isn't as much of the white tape as there is of the other roll, but since finding out I'm not allergic to it (I am allergic to Elastoplast) it might not be such a problem now.

I purchased this Leukotape combi pack after recommendation from my consultant.I have suffered from knee problems for a number of years and the consultant suggested taping my knee to assist recovery. Unfortunately, I was not able to find this tape in my local chemist so turned to Amazon to purchase it instead.The consultant recommended using this tape (as apposed to kinesiology tape) as it provides secure and firm support.The soft, flexible white tape is applied for comfort and to protect the skin. The brown zinc oxide tape is firmly applied over the top of the white tape, in order to provide the necessary level of support. The tape stayed in place for a number of days, even after showering. The brown tape is very adhesive so do ensure you have the white tape underneath to ensure you don't end up inadvertently remove hair and skin!

I've been searching for some tape to prevent/cover blisters for sone time. In the past I'd always used Strappal tape, but the last lot I bought didn't seem anywhere near as sticky. I'd also tried some Rock tape and that wasn't particularly sticky either. This tape, on the other hand, is great. The tape I've got on now has been on for four days now and has been on three walks and through four showers and shows no sign of coming off. At first I used the white, less sticky, tape underneath the stickier beige coloured tape, but for some reason the white tape is wider than the beige one so you need two pieces of biege tape per white tape, so now I've ditched the white tape.

This is a great tape for taping partying patellae - I have Ehlers Danlos Syndrome and my kneecaps pop out and in any case are always displaced which causes a lot of pain. This is the tape my physio uses and providing you clean your knee area with SOAP (shower gel leaves a residue), dry thoroughly and then apply the tape firmly and in a good quantity, with a bit of pulling and squishing you can put your kneecaps back where they are supposed to be! You can't wear it every day, but it is great if you are in a lot of pain or are doing rehabilitative exercise etc. Highly recommended!

More comfy than others I have tried. I have quite a chunky knee and swollen with arthritis now and it's hard to get a good fit. I can just about fasten the middle strap. I am not convinced this one is holding my knee cap correctly and keeping it from sliding to the outside and it does start sliding down as soon as I start moving so not convinced it is up to keeping me from further injury. I have grade 4 chondral defect so proper alignment is very important for me. If you just have a weak knee you should be ok
