Exceptionally Superior Paper Tape
After trying a few different surgical and paper tapes, this product is by far my favorite. It works! Sticks to skin, bandages, cotton, silicon... everything I've ever needed it for. Never had a problem yet.Pros:- Incredibly convenient! It is a HUGE time and energy saver having it on a dispenser. It might take some practice to tear the tape smoothly but I find it perfectly adequate.- Removes easily and gently. Other paper tapes stripped moisture from and irritated my skin, but that is not a problem with this product.- Soft & breathable. Feels much nicer than latex in my opinion.- I've never noticed any residue after removal.- Stays in place. I've kept it on for 1-2 days at times and it didn't move a bit.Cons:- Does not dispense effortlessly. It's a bit stretchy so tearing it on that plastic blade is not foolproof. Sometimes it will tear, sometimes I pull out extra tape accidentally... This is not a big problem for me but it can be an annoyance.- Looses stickiness easily. If you are dealing with a moist or oily area, it will not stay. I find this useful when trying to remove it from a sensitive region though - just wet the tape and it will slide right off.Overall, I love and highly recommend this tape.

Perfect paper tape for sensitive skin
I am so happy I found this paper tape on Amazon as I was looking for something to use on my forehead to prevent me from squinting. I put a little oil on prior and about 3 layers of tape for a few hours during the day and also sleep with it overnight and it works very well. It holds perfect and doesn’t hurt or cause irritation when I remove it😊. I have very sensitive skin so thankful to Nexcare for making this and Amazon Prime for a quick delivery!!

Working for my surgical recovery on sensitive skin
Six weeks ago I had fairly major surgery and as I recover, have needed to cover the site to keep it from rubbing under clothes. At the same time I have very sensitive skin that easily gets raw at the best of times, but repeated removal of tape can become extremely painful. I am still changing the covers every 1 - 2 days and so far - after 6 times, my skin is doing well. The tape easily goes on, the adhesive is great, keeping the gauze in place and protecting me, and when removing it comes off easily, and does not harm me - I will qualify this: yes, there is some surface pain on days I do it back-to-back (every day changing) as opposed to every other day. My skin is that sensitive. However, it does not leave any redness and I can reapply and cover it again. In the end I am very pleased with this tape and we will get more - not just for my continued recovery, but for future usage.

Very good tape
I am very happy with this tape. I have sensitive skin and have a lot of trouble with tape, but this works well for me with minimal irritation. It sticks well enough to hold the pad on my wound, but it doesn't stick well enough to use on a knee or arm where it might get rubbed up against. Mine is on my forehead and chest and it works well. It doesn't hurt to pull it off when it gets stuck in my hair. I will keep this on hand because it is the best tape I've found for my sensitive skin.

Use to prevent fogging of eyeglasses from Covid-era facemasks
Wonderful to prevent fogging of eyeglasses from Covid-era facemasks. I use two 1.5-2" strips, one on either side of my nose, to seal the gap between the top of the mask and cheek under each eye. It forces exhaled air elsewhere (other than straight up under my glasses). Works perfectly for that purpose. Highly recommended. I've seen other reviews here complain about getting only one roll (although the listing here says two), but as of Dec 2020 I ordered a two-pack and received a two-pack. Can't recommend this enough for people with glasses who have a fogging problem with Covid masks. It's a game-changer for me, and one $3 roll lasts me a month or longer.

Prevents fog while wearing mask with glasses during COVID-19
This tape is great for taping the top of cloth masks so glasses won't fog up. If you wear progressive lenses you can't just slide your glasses down on your mask to prevent fog. I use a piece of tape from the bridge of my nose to about half-way under my eye on each side to seal the mask to my face. I wear for a 45 min. bike ride to my octogenarian father's retirement community, help him for about 6 hours and then ride home. This keeps me comfortable and able to see that whole time and it doesn't hurt when I remove. Sometimes I'll put on new tape if I want a fresh seal for the ride home. I have also been able to remove and re-stick the tape if I need a different angle: it still sticks well.The masks I wear are comfortable, but I have one cotton mask that is thicker at the bridge of my nose where the seams come together. If I wear tape with that mask my nose hurts within about an hour from the pressure.

Decent quality, but they are shipped open and exposed to grime
The way this item was packaged was disappointing. For wound care, this really seemed less than.I received this item like I would have from a store. Normally that would have been adequate. The packaging was fine - for a store display. It was in a dispenser with a cardboard hanging tag. Why did I not like receiving it this way? The tape is essentially open to dust, dirt and grime while in the warehouse and upon shipping. It just does not seem sanitary to me since this is for wound care. Why did the manufacturer not simply put it in a box I bought gauze, bandages, etc. and they all come in a box.......)? I don't even need a dispenser because it tears so easily.I will say this. The tape is decent quality. It sticks pretty well, not great (I was hoping a little more tacky like stuff from hospitals because I don't really feel like that is too sticky), and tears well. I like the tape as a 4 star quality overall based on the item itself.Had I not needed to use this in a pinch I probably would have bought a different product even though it seems like a quality product. I just don't feel like it is very clean, and this is for injuries after all, so my overall feeling is meh. If I could find this in a box, I would buy it again, just not packaged like this.

Works for mouth taping (leaves just a little tiny bit of residue)
I use it to tape my mouth closed during sleep to stop snoring and breathing through my mouth. It had made such a big difference in my sleep quality and stopped my mouth/throat from drying out at night. Which also helps prevent cavities!It did take a few days to get used to it, but I don't even notice it anymore and my siblings can't hear me snore anymore!It will leave a little bit of glue residue on your lips when you remove it in the morning though. I find it helps if you apply a very very light layer of lip balm before putting the tape on. This helps your lips stay hydrated and prevents the tape from irritating them over time. If you put too much lip balm the tape won't stick! Just a light layer and the tape will feel loose but stay in place, over night the stickiness hardens so no chance of it falling off.

REPEAT PURCHASE
Good adhesion and in our case anyway did not produce allergic reaction. Easy to pull from roll and cut on serrations.Took a fair bit of time to get here (from US?)

No substitute
This tape really is the gold standard for micropore paper tape. After trying several store-brand versions of this tape I will never be purchasing anything else. Other micropore tapes fail to provide the same level of breathability - I think due to the variation in pore diameter. I find this tape is also easier to tear using a dispenser, almost effortless, whereas other brands would have some struggle leading to wasted time and tape. Don't settle for less!

The best tape
Only tape I use for doing lash extensions! Its soft, and sticks just enough, while not hurting people's skin when taking off.
