Medical-Grade Silicone Wound and Scar Tape Roll 1.5 in X 1.6 Yards, Pain-Free Removal, Easy-Tear, Waterproof, Latex-Free

As someone who is allergic to most adhesive, I’ve been using silicone tape during a recent skin wound issue. I have tried pretty much every highly rated brand on Amazon and this is one of my favorites. Pros: -My skin usually does not react to it. I don’t react to the adhesive at all, and only sometimes have issues with the plastic backing on the most reactive areas of my skin (on days when anything even remotely abrasive, including clothing seams, causes issues). -The tape itself is pretty soft. I’ve only ever found one softer one than this. All the others have much sharper/stiffer edges. -Pretty good stick for silicone adhesive. Silicone tape in general has adhesion problems, so it’s never going to stick quite as well as regular adhesive bandages, but this one will often stay on for multiple days, and can be re-stuck if you need to lift it to change placement, or if it comes loose. Compared to other silicone bandages I’ve tried it’s right in the middle, so it doesn’t come off too easily and isn’t SO sticky that it would be difficult to use or get caught on clothing a lot. -Despite sticking fairly well, it’s gentle enough that it doesn’t tear my skin, even placing tape in the same place over and over for weeks/months on end. It also doesn’t stick too badly to wounds if it accidentally becomes dislodged and ends up over one of them. I’ve had it end up on top of a few at various stages of healing and it has never ripped off any scabs, fresh skin, or caused pain when carefully lifted off. -Pre-cut/perforated. This is one of the few brands that has perforations in the tape so you can tear off a section without needing to cut it, which is nice! Of my top 2 tapes, only this one is perforated. It is also easily cut if needed. -Seems decently breathable so I don’t get moisture buildup under the bandages (unless it’s so hot out that I’m actually sweating anyway), and if it accidentally slips down over one of my wounds, it doesn’t irritate the wound too badly (by trapping too much moisture super fast) compared to others I’ve tried, giving me time to hopefully notice and get it off the wound. -Box can double as a tape dispenser if you set it up right, making it convenient to leave out for those who are using it daily like me. I’ll try to update my review later with a photo to show what I mean. Cons: -Can lift up at times. It’s still silicone tape so it isn’t going to hold like traditional bandages. That’s just a fact of this type of product. It doesn’t come loose as often as the others I’ve tried though. -Will sometimes fold under itself if it catches on something and gets lifted a bit (like a sleeve or pants when changing/putting on clothes). This is also a problem common to ANY silicone tape that sticks well though, I’ve found, so it’s just something you have to deal with if you have to use silicone tape. The ones that do this less are the less sticky ones, which is a much bigger con in my opinion (because they don’t stay on well) so I’ll take the occasional folding edges. -Perforations are sometimes tricky to find and tear. Might just be manufacturing inconsistencies but the last few rolls I’ve had have been a little tricky to tear pieces off of. Not impossible though. -Roll is a bit smaller than I’d like. This probably isn’t going to be an issue for most people though, as I’ve been dealing with an unusually large number of bandage changes, causing me to use it up pretty fast. Misc: -This tape isn’t the absolute narrowest, but of the ones in this general size range it’s probably one of the more narrow ones. It’s still wide enough that it can be cut in half lengthwise if you need long thin strips when adhering thinner bandages, but cutting it in half likely won’t work for thicker bandages. If you plan to use it at full width though, it’s a great size for thicker bandages as well as thinner ones since you don’t have as much excess width. Not really a pro or a con, just depends on your needs.

Truly great stuff. It sticks just about anywhere, even in awkward places with moisture and heat. But the best part is it peels off without sticking or irritating sensitive skin! I guess the proper word would be adheres, not stick, because it is not sticky. There's no adhesive on it. Yes it's pricey but it's worth it because there's se things for which only this will work. It's totally cutable, I've used a tiny, tiny piece for a pimple on my face. The only drawback is it can be tricky to separate the tape and backing, especially if you have arthritis or no fingernails, or only have one hand like I do. But you'll get the hang of it!

Excellent for scars. Its glue is durable and works very well. Easy to put on and take off in the right time. It has not caused any kind of allergies and has helped me improve my appearance of the operation.

I purchased these silicone bandages because I had a healing wound on my forehead that I kept itching raw in ny sleep. I tried other bandages, but the adhesive itself or the removal of it irritated the skin around the wound, which then also became itchy. So, I wanted something that would cover the wound (so I couldn’t itch it) that wouldn’t irritate my sensitive skin. This was the only thing I found that fit the bill. It is extremely easy to take on and off and does not irritate my skin or make it itch. However, because it is so easy to take off, it is not very sticky and therefore can be easily knocked off by clothing, etc. I wouldn’t recommend it for open wounds, anything that absolutely needs to remain covered, or for use during activities. I think sweat ir moisture would also make it fall off. It also wouldn’t be effective at holding other material down (e.g., a gauze pad), so you can’t really use it like medical tape. It’s really best for covering scars or almost fully healed things that you just want to lightly cover. Each bandage segment is prescored, so you can tear them off the roll easily. The backing is quite easy to remove. It’s also very easy to cut each segment with scissors if you need smaller bandages to cover scars, etc.

I love that it doesn't require scissors and breaks off in roughly two inch size pieces! I saw a few reviews that it didn't stay on for them---I've had this on the top of my right dominant hand for almost 24 hours, and even showered with it, and it's stayed on and stayed true to it's claim of being waterproof. Would recommend!

This silicone tape is a bit of a mixed bag. Here are some pros: 1. It is very easy to apply. 2. It does not irritate my sensitive skin. 3. It is easy to tear each segment from the roll or cut the segments in half with scissors. 4. It is painless (literally and figuratively) to remove, unlike any other bandage or tape I’ve used. However, there are also some cons: 1. It does not adhere well to the skin. 2. It does not adhere well to other materials, either, so it can’t be used to tape down gauze. 3. Due to its poor adhesiveness, the bandages often move or fall off, especially when used under clothing. 4. It does not blend in well with my skin, as you can see in the third photo of my forearm. I’m fairly pale, though, so people with darker complexions may find that it blends in better.

This scar tape is super soft and is thicker than some of the other types of scar tape. This is good for sensitive areas like under the breast scar after surgery.

Great product. Easy to cut into smaller shapes to cover small scars. Worked well on keloid scars .
