MedVance Silicone Tape Medical, Perforated Surgical Tape Sensitive Skin, Waterproof Tape for Skin, Medical Tape for Wound Care, Eyelash Tape, Gentle Skin Tape, 1" Width (1 Pack, 180 Inches)

I just had surgery and was using the standard white paper-style tape for my incision dressing, and it was rough. Every time I changed the dressing it irritated and pulled off the top layer of my skin. Not fun. This silicone tape has been a huge improvement. It seals much better than the paper tape, but the big thing is how gentle it is when removing it. No more dreading dressing changes. It’s also repositionable, which I didn’t realize I needed until I had it. If you don’t get it quite right the first time, you can adjust it without ruining the tape. The perforation at 1 inch intervals is another nice touch, makes it easy to tear off what you need without scissors. After using this twice, I tossed the remaining rolls of paper tape and ordered more of this. Even if you’re not dealing with sensitive skin like I was, this is just a better option overall.

I recently switched from using a CPAP to an oral appliance for sleep apnea. My mouth is small and the appliance is large so when I'd fall asleep my lips would relax and fall open creating snoring sounds and dry mouth. My doctor suggested mouth taping. Yikes, I'm very claustrophobic and this sounded scary. I also have very sensitive skin. I purchased this tape because of the other reviews stating how non irritating it was. I've been using it for a couple of weeks now, trying various lengths and positions. What works best for me is 5 sections ( the tape is perforated every 1/4 inch) and I snip a little hole in the center because you're not supposed to completely seal your mouth for safety reasons. I have not experienced any skin irritation. This tape is very soft and stays in place all night. It was a bit of an adjustment regarding the claustrophobia, but the tape is thin and flexible so that helped.

I am a dental assistant and Lab Tech. who works in a practice that specializes in SLEEP APNEA treatment. I made myself an oral devise for my sleep disorder that worked well. I need to make a new one but have not had the time to get it done. So ,meanwhile , I was looking for an alternative treatment to stop my mouth breathing. I've been told that it is loud and disruptive. I know that some of our patients even using the oral device have issues with mouth breathing. We recommend simply putting a piece of tape on the lips to hold them together gently thus forcing nose breathing . This is the most efficient way to breath. I searched through ALL the tape options and with the help of reviews discovered this tape brand. I have tried it with and without my oral sleep device .I am surprised to find that the tape works extremely well on it's own. This may not be the case with everyone! I have several occasions coming up to be sharing sleeping arrangements with friends. I believe that this may be my solution for allowing my room company to sleep soundly. LOL! As well as myself. It's simple and effective. And, not terribly embarrassing when I explain the reason for taping my mouth shut for bed time. In the video reviews they show that the tape can easily be removed and replaced if need be. For example I had to cough and get a drink of water in the middle of the night. I simply removed the tape and then replaced it . It held with the same strength and it does not leave any residue . I may not need to replace my oral sleep devise after all.

The tape is more expensive than others but worth it for when you need to constantly apply tape to your skin and if you find other tapes hard to use, tear, peel off, etc. It tears easily when you need a strip (i..e, middle of the night in the dark half asleep), but it doesn’t tear when you didn’t want it to; the adhesive works great but doesn’t hurt to pull it off, you can re-use small strips by hanging them by the edge on something.

I have very sensitive (chronically dry, eczema-prone) skin and I can't believe I haven't been recommended this kind of tape before! So great for mouth taping and I'm looking forward to trying it out for scar management too. I've already tested it to tape down gauze over a scar and it's much more comfortable/doesn't tug and stays in place compared to paper tape, especially around a moving joint. The perforation is also very convenient so you can get a clean tear without scissors.

Works great for taping mouth for cpap, but for me a drool a bit and it gets wet and comes off. woops

They do not stay in place very well. Particularly if you drool at all.

This is my favorite and most economical tape for taping my eye shut at night due to facial paralysis. It stays in place and removes easily and painlessly. I have tried many tapes but this works best for me.

Highly recommended

Stays on for a week, even through showers and for swimmers. I swim an hour a day and it mostly survives, perhaps a little bit of curling at the corners by the end of the week. Really moisturises and flattens my scars, I've been wearing it after top surgery. Can't fault it. Great value.

These strips are great - using them for scar healing. They are easy to tear into the right sizes and easy to remove without causing pain. Also feel comfortable against the skin.
