Nexcare Strong Yet Pain Free Tape For Sensitive Skin Blue Hypoallergenic Low Trauma Medical Tape One Roll

Really good medical tape! This is actually what I use for mouth taping while I sleep. I would say there is a bit of danger in that as the tape is very strong! If there were ever some issue with my nose being covered or congested, I would definitely have an issue. However, if you were using it for any medical purpose, this is a wonderful tape! We have used it to hold on treatments and it stays very well without leaving residue!

I've been using the plastic "X" style tape for over 1.5 years and switched to Nexcare 3 weeks ago. I like it so much more than the individual X tapes. I highly recommend trying out Nexcare as mouth tape while sleeping.Cost: This is a no-brainer. The plastic "X" style tape strips individual tape strips are very expensive. Nexcare is cheap *and* the roll looks like it's going to last a very long time.Ease of use: Nexcare is on a roll and can be easily torn with fingers alone. The edge of the roll is easy to find and pull up because the tape has a little bit of thickness. So, getting a piece just before sleeping is quick and easy. The plastic "X" style tape strips require some fidgeting with the paper or plastic that the strip comes on, and I almost always ended up bending a corner of it onto itself.Feel: Nexcare is soft to the point where I forget it is on my lips at all. The stiff plastic "X" style tape strips are not very comfortable and could make my lips a bit itchy at times.Reapplying: The Nexcare tape is super sticky and easy to apply and reapply -- I sip water about 2x per night. The X tapes did not stick as well after reapplying, but the Nexcare is just as good.Lip balm: I can also apply some lip balm to the corners of my mouth when needed after putting on the Nexcare tape, and only the edges of the tape lose their stickiness. When I tried that with the plastic "X" style strips, the entire tape would lose its stickiness almost immediately.Residue: Some reviews said they get a residue on their lips after taking the Nexcare off. I haven't experienced that. It's possible that some rolls have this problem and others do not. Or that it's very sensitive to heat, and that occurs after too much heat exposure. I'm only guessing, though.Customizability: Since you tear off a piece of Nexcare tape with your fingers, you can customize it to the perfect length for your lips. I only cover about an inch of my lips, so I could always breathe through the corners of my mouth while sleeping, if necessary (but this hasn't happened). The plastic "X" style strips are one size only.Trust: The companies that sell the plastic "X" style strips change all the time. I could never buy the same product twice (3+ months apart) because they would disappear, only to be replaced by another company and a different-looking product. Nexcare is made by 3M, which has been around for decades and is used in medical settings. I trust the ingredients of Nexcare much more because of that.

I use the Nexcare tape for nighttime mouth taping and it seems to work rather well! It has medium to strong hold and is pain-free when being removed. I do notice that if your skin has any moisturizer, serums, or similar products on, it will not adhere to the skin so it is important to keep the area dry before applying the tape. It is silicone based, not latex. I wear this tape nightly and have found that it doesn't slip, even through regular tossing and turning. As mentioned, I use this tape for mouth-taping. Considering the mouth is a highly mobile area, I am impressed that the Nexcare tape does not lose it's adhesion or hold over 8 hours.This product offers 4 yards of tape and it seems to last quite a while for what I use it for. The tape is not meant to be ripped so it needs to be cut. It is easy to cut, so there is a lot of freedom regarding the size and shape of tape for your needs.I have extremely sensitive skin and this tape does not aggravate the delicate skin around my mouth. There is no residue left behind after using this tape and I have never had my skin turn remotely red in any capacity. This is a huge bonus as I am very careful with the health of my skin. Not only is there no residue left behind on my skin after using the Nexcare Strong Hold Tape, but there is no 'bandage line' going around the perimeter of where the tape used to be. It's as if it were never there in the first place! I'd highly recommend this to anyone with sensitive skin who wants pain-free bandage removal every time.

Mouth taping has become a consideration for people who mouth breathe during sleep. At first, I thought it sounded a bit strange, but no longer. This tape works great. It stays on, doing the job. No more dry mouth in the morning, and probably much healthier sleep. This obviously requires unobstructed nasal breathing. I'm sure this product is also great for any medical-related adhesive tape needs.

Works well for mouth taping at night (mouth breather). Just make sure you don't have anything greasy on your lips or where you are taking your mouth shut. It will stay on all night! More cost effective than buying tape actually designed for this purpose.
