Okay, so I've tried a LOT of medical tapes in my life (thanks to being clumsy and having sensitive skin), and this Nexcare Flexible Clear Tape? Game changer.
First off, the adhesion is insane. Like, 'why-didn't-I-find-this-sooner' level good. It sticks to dry skin, slightly damp skin, even after moisturizing – no joke. Shower? No problem. Sweat? Still stays put. Though heads up – chlorine pools might be its kryptonite.
The bi-directional tearing is genius. No more fumbling with scissors at 2AM when you're half-asleep and bandaging a random cut. Just rip and go – perfect for securing my CGM without drama.
Only minor gripes: 1) No dispenser (first world problems, I know), and 2) The residue can be stubborn if you're using it on your face (learned that the hard way with mouth taping). But for wounds? Zero residue issues.
Bonus: My diabetic friend swears by this for insulin pods – says it's the only tape that survives his intense workouts AND showers. At this price point? Absolute steal compared to specialty tapes.
5/5 would tape again.
