only kind i can use for my sensitive skin

Boy howdy, there's a story behind this tape. I was training for my second half marathon when I began to experience immense knee, hip, and groin pain. I rested and iced for a week before resuming training runs. When the pain got worse, I saw a sports doctor who told me my knees track laterally to the outside when I bend them, which is not such a great thing. The reason for this is that my hamstrings were stronger than my quadriceps. I had been training with neutral running shoes, which do nothing to alleviate this problem and, as such, strained my quads. I immediately bought stability running shoes and started using KT tape. KT tape is great, but definitely not for this injury. My PT friend highly recommended using this leukotape to glide my kneecaps over and tape them in position. Along with my new running shoes, this taping method immediately relieved my knee pain!

Leukotape is extremely firm and, without cover roll tape underneath, will rip off skin (it did for me!). Nonetheless, with proper taping, leukotape held my knee in the position I wanted it to for the entirety of my runs (which included the half marathon itself!). This is the best deal around as you get both leukotape and cover roll for a package deal at an extremely affordable price! Each product alone costs almost as much for just a few more yards of each. In sum, I recommend this product for anyone looking for leukotape for sports injuries. Make sure you know how to use it though...as an ill-informed taping may do you more harm (I watched lots of tutorial videos and received great advice from my PT friend on how to tape for my injury).

This is what I needed to tape my knee.

I like that both tapes came together. My physical therapist used this tape for my knee but for some reason these are not as "strong". But on the plus side they are easier to take off when needed so I can't tell if it's a newer version that was changed for that reason or why there is a difference but I'm still using it

Every person is different with different needs. This is my opinion and how it worked for me. I loved the cover roll which was skin friendly on my skin. I apply the cover roll underneath the leukotape. The luekotape reinforces the areas that i need more support. I had recently had pain on the inside of my foot near my arch. The tape has help by adding a liftting support. Since i work 8 hours, walking, climbing, and stretching it has helped with the pain when tapping properly. Leukotape contain rubber latex which may cause allergic reaction to those who are allergic. Leukotape does has a more adhesive so careful when you remove from skin. I will definitely buy more before i run out. Waterproof, well i haven't showered with it on. But i did notice when i sweat the cover roll stretches naturaly. Its called cover roll stretch for a reason. The leukotape stays well adhered to skin.
