Conkote Soft Paper Surgical Tape 1" x 10 Yards, Gentle Adhesion and Hypoallergenic, 12 Rolls

After cataract surgery, I had to wear a clear plastic bubble cage over my eye. I was terrified I’d instinctively push it off in my sleep. At first, I just used the old medical tape we already had in our medicine cabinet. We’d used the same tape for our growing kids’ big knee scrapes, foot blisters that broke open, that sort of thing. Little did I realize, it was never intended for elderly facial use — I nearly ripped my fragile skin off removing it! Too, having to cut it with scissors was a pain. This Conkote Soft Paper Surgical Tape worked perfectly — it was trivially tearable off the roll, stuck in place, peeled off when I needed, and didn’t rip my face off when changed. Still, it did stick to any stray head hair that got in its way. But what mattered was protecting my recovering eye. Buying so many rolls at a time seemed at first ridiculous, but gave me serious peace of mind that I could always just tear off new tape in the event my taping was imperfect, which it often was. An extremely small investment considering my eye surgery has transformed my quality of life for the better. Update: After a month post cataract surgery and receiving a glowing bill of eye healing at my checkup, I’m certain this tape helped protect my eye cage the first weeks after the procedure. Seriously, considering my eye’s surgery was a matter of half-blindness, ability to drive or perceive depth, and so much else, this purchase was worth its weight in gold.

as described. careful around the eyes as it can be hard to remove on very sensitive skin

Good quality tape and adhesive. Application is pretty easy and gets the job done

Ordered this to try as I had been using nexcare sensitive skin tape but considering I use minimum 6-12 inches of tape daily it does wind up getting a little expensive over time. I have been using this tape for several weeks and I’ve been pleasantly surprised. It holds well to skin and medical tubing which is what I use it for but doesn’t adhere to itself effectively so using it to wrap over itself doesn’t work very well. Nexcare sensitive tape was also virtually pain free to remove, this tape is not but I wouldn’t describe it as actually painful, just a bit less comfortable to remove. There is no residue left behind after removal which is great. I wear this tape daily on my face (mouth area specifically) for about 8-10 hours. It sticks well even with my oil free facial moisturizer and light lip balm after I’ve let them absorb for about 10 minutes or so. As I stated, I do wear this tape for extended periods of time every single day in the same exact placement and after several weeks I’ve noticed no negative effects which is great. No rash, irritation, clogged pores, sensitivity, etc. This package came with 12 rolls which will probably last me nearly a year, and the box costs what one roll of the name brand sensitive tape goes for. I’m a very satisfied customer and will continue to purchase as needed. The only issue I can see is that it doesn’t stick to itself which may render it less useful in some situations.

This tape is every bit as good as the tape that I’ve been purchasing at my local large chain drug store but at a greatly reduced cost. It holds fast, peels off easily and leaves no residual glue behind. *Helpful Hint: The tape starts about one inch BEHIND the blue starter mark that you’ll see on the outside of the roll. Guaranteed to please.

The tape works well and is high quality.

I usually get Nexcare paper tape since I have medical thing requiring lots of gauze changes. I wanted to save a bit of money, so I thought these would work. I gave these a fair shake, and I think I can say that these just don't have as much stick as Nexcare. With that brand, the paper tape rarely, if ever, fell off under my clothes. That only happened if I didn't properly cover the gauze on one side (which hardly happens as I try to be thorough), or if my skin was just tad too wet after showering. With this brand? I just finished an entire roll and the tape failing was a common occurrence. I thought it might've just been a bad roll, but it seems it's just this brand. Maybe you might have a different experience if, say, you use this on an area of the body that either doesn't move much or is not covered by clothing, but I think I'll try to find better tape at a cheaper price. I don't always need it but, when I do, I need a lot.

Paper tape…. Easier on sensitive skin.
