Nexcare Absolute Waterproof Tape, Flexible Foam Medical Tape, Secures Dressing and Keeps Wounds Dry - 1 In x 5 Yds, 1 Roll of Tape

This tape holds securely through showers and hand-washing. It’s flexible and doesn’t peel easily, yet removes without too much irritation. Pros: waterproof, flexible, strong hold Cons: adhesive is strong on sensitive skin Bottom line: Excellent tape for waterproof bandaging.

I use this regularly for spica support. I have severe arthritis at 67. It wraps and sticks well. I am a jet engine mechanic, this tape will last a whole shift. Multiple hand washings, even an isopropyl soaking or two and it stays in place. Does not sweat off, even under tight rubber gloves. Comfortable, easy to set tension. Too tight aches, too loose no support. This tape will makes things simple and a lot less painful. Excellent product. Expensive.

I’ve been using this tape on an injured finger. I find it to be excellent tape in a number of ways. The tape is easy to tear off and has outstanding adhesion properties. I use it currently a finger and am always washing my hands and the tape almost never loses adhesion. It is a must to put the tape on when the skin is dry, otherwise it will not adhere at all. Once placed on dry skin, it stays on all day, even through showering. When I remove the tape, there is no residue whatsoever left behind. I am overjoyed with this property of the tape. When placing the tape in my finger, it has excellent stretching capabilities, so I can easily adjust the pressure of the wrap. Additionally I use this tape to cover cuts when I am working in an environment where the cut could get dirty. I had a small slice on my palm and I would place a piece of tape on my hand to keep with clean while working in the garden or washing dishes. The tape worked extremely well. Again, it only sticks to dry skin first, once stuck on it remained stuck while washing dishes and other activities. A great tape to have around when you need it.

I use tape on several fingers (picture Tiger's hands) when I play golf and this tape works great. It is sticky enough to stay in place even when my hands get hot and sweaty. I've used many, many rolls over the years!

It's definitely waterproof and sticks to skin like crazy, so it does exactly what it says! Only reason for 4 stars: if your skin is really dry, taking it off is difficult and not so pleasant and also if you sleep with it on, you might sweat underneath it a lot if you get hot at night. That being said, it really is waterproof and doesn't budge. I had to have a bunch of surgeries and two were to put in and replace a drainage bag I my liver so I was really worried that the hole in my side would lead to infection but since I kept it really clean with rubbing alcohol and then used gauze and THIS specific tape, nothing got in while I had the bag in my side (liver) and after it was taken out up until it healed with no infections at all. I considered that a miracle because I had that bag in for 3 months and it was always in the way and I thought for sure something would get in the hole in my side. Thanks to this tape, nothing ever did. Literally a lifesaver.

This stuff is amazing. Super flexible, doesn’t stick to wound, easy to remove.

Great tape for holding in shower

Love this stuff !
