Micropore Surgical Tape, White, 1.25 Cm X 9.1m, 24Count

For me, the Micropore 1/2" white (paper) surgical tape is better than Band-Aids! To make the pad, I fold over a few layers. Then a strip of the tape makes the strip of the Band-Aid. This tape is so flexible that it contours well to my fingers (where I usually use it).I particularly like the fact that the tape tears easily. It is paper, and fairly thin paper at that. Quite porous, too.I have one strip of it wrapped around an empty pill bottle. My gel pen writes on it easily, so I'm using it to label the bottle.The tape does not leave a gummy residue. I don't know how, but it's a great feature. :-) Also, it withstands showering very well.I have and use these tapes from the 3M family: Micropore, Durapore, Transpore and Medipore. They are all amazing. I wish I'd found them before a lifetime of using adhesive tape and Band-Aids. Collectively they solve every problem I encounter, relating to taping on various parts of my body (and occasionally other things) for various purposes. Sometimes I tape to hold a tube to me. Sometimes to avoid friction from shoes. Sometimes to close a wound. And so on. These four cover all bases.--Eben Visher

It doesn't lift, yet easy to remove.

I couldn’t live without this tape as a lash artist! I use this for my adhesive, isolating & taping lashes back! Love!

When they first arrived, it smelled sooo bad! I was about to throw these away because of the nasty smell. That’s how bad it bothered me. I decided to remove all of them from the box they came in and let them air out. After a few days, the smell isn’t as bad and I will finally be able to use them now. So just let them air out and the smell shouldn’t be as bad after a few days.

As a cello teacher, I am constantly taping music for my students and after a decades-long battle with scotch magic tape that split apart at every opportunity, I found this tape! About 4 years later, it’s still all I use. I have rolls everywhere now and have taped hundreds of pieces of music successfully. It doesn’t rip or break and it doesn’t damage the music. I recently found that a washi-tape dispenser works really well to hold and cut it. If you are a musician or music teacher, I highly recommend this tape!

Okay, so full disclosure -- I do not buy this stuff for the intended purpose. I use this surgical tape for sewing (especially for temporary "pinning" where I need to just lay something in place long enough to sew it down). It's a great tape for holding things in place temporarily and if you sew over it, it's no big deal. It doesn't gum up the needle or leave a residue on the fabric. It's also much cheaper than buying tailors' tape!This is a standard paper tape. You can tear it with your hands with very little effort, or use it in a standard tape dispenser.Although I don't use it "medically" I can tell you it's awesome for sewing and embroidery work!

I use this narrow tape daily on a toe problem. I was paying my podiatrist $3.00 per roll and when she was out of stock, I couldn't find it in any local drugstores, (Walgreens and CVS). I was thrilled to find it on Amazon at a fraction of what I had been paying. The problem was that I had to buy 24 rolls, but at $3.00 per roll from my doctor, three plus rolls will pay for the $10+ dollars that I paid Amazon.I now have close to a two year supply for pennies.The tape adheres very well and stays in place perfectly on my foot until I remove it, after many hours of walking etc..Highly recommended.

I love this tape. I use it for crafts. It is so much more durable than washy tape but isn't as tacky. I use it for holding my dies in place so they don't shift when I run them through my die cutting machine. Works like a charm. You can use the same piece over and over so, it is very economical.I also use it for masking a border around my handpainted watercolor cards. Once the paint is dry, the tape pulls up very easily and you are left with a very nice white border. I will be using this tape in the future for all my crafts. If you're a crafter, you should try this out.
