KT TapeKT Flex Reinforced Adhesive Strips – 8 Pack, 10 in. Precut Strips in Black – Effective Support for Weak or Injured Knees, 2-Strip Application, Breathable, and Comfortable for Up to 3 Days

Excellent

5 weeks and counting till knee replacement. I have been getting cortisone shots for a couple of years but they only last maybe 6 weeks then it’s another 6 before the next shot. These have helped a lot during that time and am using them now till surgery. They don’t cure of course but keep the knee stabilized tho still bendable.Got the ankle one too and it’s helps a lot as well. I have been using OK regular tapes for a few years and it does work.

Didn’t last through a workout, maybe would work better if I shaved my legs , with hair, just doesn’t stay put.

I have used these many times. Originally, they were very good. Now they just fall apart. The plastic rib support falls out of the sleeve after a few minutes. I don't know how they managed to lower the quality, but they did. I sent a detailed message to their customer support office, but after two weeks NO Response.It's too bad. because the design idea is very good but the product ha become very low quality.

Works great, took pain away right away.

I have used this product now for several months, off and on. The first box I got at a box store retailer who no longer carries it. I had great success with this product! 5 stars!! It supported my knee through all of my figure skating moves and helped reduced my pain. It stuck well to my leg and I was getting 5-6 days out of each strip.BUT…when I ordered it again (twice now) each time the strip barely lasted a day with the plastic support piece popping out and the upper tape layer coming off. 1-2 stars! I thought maybe it was a defective box, but my second box was the same way. I am so disappointed! KT was on to a great product, but now it barely performs. I will be looking elsewhere for other support products.

They work great

My knee really hurt and I needed support. I looked for a knee brace, but the difference in circumference between my thigh and my calf was so great (2 size difference) that the knee braces and sleeves were not an option for me. I was warned that they would either fall off (because the bottom had no grip), be too small (on top), or provide no real support. I tried wrapping with ACE bandages and that kept slipping off within an hour. Finally a runner friend of mine suggested tape.I read all the reviews for these strips and took all the precautions for preparing my skin. I showered, shaved my legs, and then cleaned the area to be taped with alcohol. I then watched the video twice and applied the tape according to the video instructions (there's instructions in the box, but I like to watch folks do it). Anyway, the support was immediate and surprisingly strong!The box says they stay on 1-3 days. After 3 days, one inside strip started to come off, and the other one started coming off the next day. I used the shower to help me peel the rest off my legs. I don't know if the outside strips with the braces were ever going to come off! Today is day 6 and I'm going to my chiropractor, so I used the hand shower to shoot water under the tape as I gently loosened them up and peeled them off (pain free this way). They were not showing any signs of voluntary release!I bought a role of KT original cotton tape as well. I put this tape on to replace the inside strips that had come off. The tape provided good support, but only lasted for one day. Afterwards, I realized I didn't prep the skin in the same as I did with these strips. I hadn't shaved the places where this tape peeled up, and I had moisturized my legs. So, next time I use the regular tape, I'll prep the skin properly and see what happens.Bottom line, I was barely walking and these strips gave me enough support to do the hills and stairs of SF, lots of standing and walking as well as boot camp class (modified exercises of course). Now, I still hurt, but there was so much relief, I've been able to work and exercise till my doctor's appointment!
