Micropore Surgical Tape, White, 1.25 Cm X 9.1m, 24Count

For me, the Micropore 1/2" white (paper) surgical tape is better than Band-Aids! To make the pad, I fold over a few layers. Then a strip of the tape makes the strip of the Band-Aid. This tape is so flexible that it contours well to my fingers (where I usually use it). I particularly like the fact that the tape tears easily. It is paper, and fairly thin paper at that. Quite porous, too. I have one strip of it wrapped around an empty pill bottle. My gel pen writes on it easily, so I'm using it to label the bottle. The tape does not leave a gummy residue. I don't know how, but it's a great feature. :-) Also, it withstands showering very well. I have and use these tapes from the 3M family: Micropore, Durapore, Transpore and Medipore. They are all amazing. I wish I'd found them before a lifetime of using adhesive tape and Band-Aids. Collectively they solve every problem I encounter, relating to taping on various parts of my body (and occasionally other things) for various purposes. Sometimes I tape to hold a tube to me. Sometimes to avoid friction from shoes. Sometimes to close a wound. And so on. These four cover all bases. --Eben Visher

Okay, so full disclosure -- I do not buy this stuff for the intended purpose. I use this surgical tape for sewing (especially for temporary "pinning" where I need to just lay something in place long enough to sew it down). It's a great tape for holding things in place temporarily and if you sew over it, it's no big deal. It doesn't gum up the needle or leave a residue on the fabric. It's also much cheaper than buying tailors' tape! This is a standard paper tape. You can tear it with your hands with very little effort, or use it in a standard tape dispenser. Although I don't use it "medically" I can tell you it's awesome for sewing and embroidery work!

As a cello teacher, I am constantly taping music for my students and after a decades-long battle with scotch magic tape that split apart at every opportunity, I found this tape! About 4 years later, it’s still all I use. I have rolls everywhere now and have taped hundreds of pieces of music successfully. It doesn’t rip or break and it doesn’t damage the music. I recently found that a washi-tape dispenser works really well to hold and cut it. If you are a musician or music teacher, I highly recommend this tape!

I love this tape. I use it for crafts. It is so much more durable than washy tape but isn't as tacky. I use it for holding my dies in place so they don't shift when I run them through my die cutting machine. Works like a charm. You can use the same piece over and over so, it is very economical. I also use it for masking a border around my handpainted watercolor cards. Once the paint is dry, the tape pulls up very easily and you are left with a very nice white border. I will be using this tape in the future for all my crafts. If you're a crafter, you should try this out.

Not quite as wide as I’d pictured. Be sure to check the width to see if it meets your needs.

I am using this tape to prevent mouth breathing during sleep. Yes, that means I cut about a 2” strip to put up and down over my lips. It adheres and does not allow my mouth to open while I sleep. That being said, it peels off easily. I looked at prices at CVS and this is a far better for the quantity.

Love this tape! One can use it for so many different purposes. It's great to put a couple of strips on your skin to protect from blistering, as with shoes that might not fit so well. I also place it over a breathe-right strip which I've cut a little smaller, as this tape is much easier on the delicate skin of your nose! Sometimes I use it to hold Band-Aids on if they're not sticking well. I'm sure there are other ideas I will come up with using this tape. Works for me!

I use this narrow tape daily on a toe problem. I was paying my podiatrist $3.00 per roll and when she was out of stock, I couldn't find it in any local drugstores, (Walgreens and CVS). I was thrilled to find it on Amazon at a fraction of what I had been paying. The problem was that I had to buy 24 rolls, but at $3.00 per roll from my doctor, three plus rolls will pay for the $10+ dollars that I paid Amazon. I now have close to a two year supply for pennies. The tape adheres very well and stays in place perfectly on my foot until I remove it, after many hours of walking etc.. Highly recommended.

I was worried it might be a knock off but as far as I can tell it is the real deal. It smells like micropore tape a d is super sticky like 3M micropore tape. I would recommend this. It is a good with for all kinds of uses and is a good quality

Excellent

I love this stuff as I use it when sewing to `fix and stay` layers of fabric within an embroidery frame. It is so secure and does not gum up the needle. The product is also super for what it is intended for within the medical profession. It holds down a dressing beautifully - quick and easy usually without a reaction to the surface skin, but, I have taken to using it for my embroidery so, for me, it has two very valuable functions. Not expensive either. The choice of widths available is also appreciated. Thank you for an extremely useful product.

I use this to help keep my colonoscopy bag on. It does the job but I needed a wider tape.

I use this tape for underneath gel pads when I am doing lash extension services and it works great.
