MED PRIDE Silicone Wound Tape Roll 1.5in X 1.6yd, Medical Grade Scar Tape for Wound Dressing, Pain Free Removal, Waterproof, Easy Tear, Latex Free

As someone who is allergic to most adhesive, I’ve been using silicone tape during a recent skin wound issue. I have tried pretty much every highly rated brand on Amazon and this is one of my favorites.Pros:-My skin usually does not react to it. I don’t react to the adhesive at all, and only sometimes have issues with the plastic backing on the most reactive areas of my skin (on days when anything even remotely abrasive, including clothing seams, causes issues).-The tape itself is pretty soft. I’ve only ever found one softer one than this. All the others have much sharper/stiffer edges.-Pretty good stick for silicone adhesive. Silicone tape in general has adhesion problems, so it’s never going to stick quite as well as regular adhesive bandages, but this one will often stay on for multiple days, and can be re-stuck if you need to lift it to change placement, or if it comes loose. Compared to other silicone bandages I’ve tried it’s right in the middle, so it doesn’t come off too easily and isn’t SO sticky that it would be difficult to use or get caught on clothing a lot.-Despite sticking fairly well, it’s gentle enough that it doesn’t tear my skin, even placing tape in the same place over and over for weeks/months on end. It also doesn’t stick too badly to wounds if it accidentally becomes dislodged and ends up over one of them. I’ve had it end up on top of a few at various stages of healing and it has never ripped off any scabs, fresh skin, or caused pain when carefully lifted off.-Pre-cut/perforated. This is one of the few brands that has perforations in the tape so you can tear off a section without needing to cut it, which is nice! Of my top 2 tapes, only this one is perforated. It is also easily cut if needed.-Seems decently breathable so I don’t get moisture buildup under the bandages (unless it’s so hot out that I’m actually sweating anyway), and if it accidentally slips down over one of my wounds, it doesn’t irritate the wound too badly (by trapping too much moisture super fast) compared to others I’ve tried, giving me time to hopefully notice and get it off the wound.-Box can double as a tape dispenser if you set it up right, making it convenient to leave out for those who are using it daily like me. I’ll try to update my review later with a photo to show what I mean.Cons:-Can lift up at times. It’s still silicone tape so it isn’t going to hold like traditional bandages. That’s just a fact of this type of product. It doesn’t come loose as often as the others I’ve tried though.-Will sometimes fold under itself if it catches on something and gets lifted a bit (like a sleeve or pants when changing/putting on clothes). This is also a problem common to ANY silicone tape that sticks well though, I’ve found, so it’s just something you have to deal with if you have to use silicone tape. The ones that do this less are the less sticky ones, which is a much bigger con in my opinion (because they don’t stay on well) so I’ll take the occasional folding edges.-Perforations are sometimes tricky to find and tear. Might just be manufacturing inconsistencies but the last few rolls I’ve had have been a little tricky to tear pieces off of. Not impossible though.-Roll is a bit smaller than I’d like. This probably isn’t going to be an issue for most people though, as I’ve been dealing with an unusually large number of bandage changes, causing me to use it up pretty fast.Misc:-This tape isn’t the absolute narrowest, but of the ones in this general size range it’s probably one of the more narrow ones. It’s still wide enough that it can be cut in half lengthwise if you need long thin strips when adhering thinner bandages, but cutting it in half likely won’t work for thicker bandages. If you plan to use it at full width though, it’s a great size for thicker bandages as well as thinner ones since you don’t have as much excess width. Not really a pro or a con, just depends on your needs.

Purchased to wrap mouthpiece of a horse bit! Very acceptable and more comfy for the horse.

Silicone tape is gentle for the skin.I did have a bit of an adhesion problem on my index finger, so in high-contact areas extra tape may be needed.

I’m recovering from surgery on my lower back and have 2 very long incisions to the left and right of my spine. This not only stays on during getting dressed but it stays in place very well throughout the day. This is not intended for water use. It’s silicone, have realistic expectations. I’m very allergic to adhesives and this does not cause any type of reaction and is very comfortable to wear.

I can't say enough good about this tape! Sticks very well to my incisions. Stays put for weeks! I'm post abdominoplasty and mastopexy so I have a singular incision from hip to hip, then from left to right of each breast, up the bottom of each, and around each areola. The tape is nice and wide for the hip to hip incision, then for my breast incisions, I cut the tape down the center of each strip to make it thinner for the smaller area. I change every week to two weeks as that's what I was told to do, and this tape sticks VERY well for that amount of time with no corner lifting even. I HIGHLY recommend.

I bought this tape to prevent 'blow outs' from my CPAP machine. This went on smoothly, but come off in a soggy mess during the night. Use only on dry areas that aren't likely to be disturbed.

I have to wear an O2 mask nightly . Mynose gets sore and chaffed on the bridge and looks awful every morning. I tried memory foam, blister patches and when the mask moved during the night, bandaids, blister patches plus tape to hold them on gets all wrrinklef and adds to the abrasion and imprint on my nose. I read in the description of this tape it could really be easily repositioned we will as being easy to remove. And waterproof. It can even be reused! It had been wonderful, it's very thin and doesn't move aroundI cut the pre perforated places to tear the one inch pieces off in one half and can keep trying to position without it losing it's ability to still be sticky. I thought about a yard and a half was a small amount for the money to buy, but since I use so little it will last me at least half a year using nightlyIt is advertised as a patch for scars, but should include my use.

I recently tried another one just for comparison and this is way better. The corners don't roll up and it sticks and it's not a yucky sticky. I had breast surgery three times because they messed up in this tape has really supported me with my scars.
