Nexcare Absolute Waterproof First Aid Tape, Tan, 1 in x 5 yds

So much better than actual waterproof Band-Aids. My go to when it comes to my kids.

Once I tried removing it took skin off!

I purchased this waterproof tape for cushion support and wound protection expecting safety and relief, but instead I experienced repeated painful reactions that appreared to be caused by the product itself, I developed severe blistering burns filled with water and pus exactly where the tape touched my skin. At first I thought it was a coincidence or irritation from something else, but after testing it again on both feet, I experienced the same painful results. This was not a one time issue. The reactions were consistent, alarming, and serious enough to make me believe the adhesive or materials may contain harmful chemicals or bacteria-causing substances that should not be coming into contact with skin. No product marketed for protection and comfort should leave users with painful burns and infected-looking blisters. I strongly urge others to use extreme caution with this tape, especially anyone with sensitive skin, existing wounds, or medical conditions. A product intended to protect skin should not repeatedly cause injury. I am deeply disappointed and concerned that somethin sold for medical or protective use could create this kind of painful reaction.

This tape does not stick at all, I have had complete bad luck. I gave the whole roll a chance. bummer

I wish I could give this zero stars. I had skin cancer surgery in my face yesterday. I need tape to hold the bandage on. This smells so bad I thought something was burning on my house! I am not usually overly sensitive to smells but I finally had to remove it and throw the roll in the trash. The chemical smell gave me a bad headache. It also wasn’t very adhesive to the gauze. What a waste of money.

My husband uses this tape every night and says it’s a game changer. He uses a cpap machine and uses this to tape his mouth shut to prevent mouth breathing. No need to buy expensive pre cut, lip shaped tape. This tape stays put!

I need to cover an open wound that I'm packing because of having breast cyst removed with a little issue with healing and it does not work. It start lifting while I'm showering. By the time I'm done showering, my gauze is wet. I would put plastic to cover my gauze and then tape around. Tape is trash. Very annoying.

It says absolutel waterproof tape that stays on during bathing, swimming or sweating.. but mine barely would stick when I first applied it before my shower and absolutely fell off in the shower.

Only medical tape that doesn't irrigate my skin. Stays put, and is truly waterproof. Only complaint is that for the price, the roll is very small.

This is the worse waterproof tape I have ever used. I had to find a way to cover up my zio patch (on dry skin) so it wouldn't get wet- the second I lifted up my arm, the tape separated and no matter what I did, the tape would not stay on. I would not recommend this to anyone.

I’m a barber hairstylist and I use it when I accidentally cut myself. The 2 biggest problems w bandaids for me is that they dont stop the bleeding when the cut is on the knuckle and they slip right off at the shampoo bowl. Wrap this around the bandaid and problem solved. Lasts all through multiple shampoos and hand washing.

I purched this waterproof tape to hold a medical device secure to my body. It did stick, for about an hour! Just my own perspiration caused it to release! I even shaved the area and wiped all oils off with alcohol before applying. Still about an hour and came loose!!! Product is next to worthless in this application!

Bought this tape for my son, he jammed his finger and needed to buddy tape it. He’s a teenager and was able to do it by himself, it’s not a big roll, so it packed easily in his bag, did everything we needed!

I used this tape to cover up my thumb area overnight, not even for a full 8hrs and upon waking there is a giant chemical burn from the glue on my skin. I don't have sensitive skin. I've never had this reaction from any bandaid or adhesive before. What on earth is in this glue to cause the burn on my skin!? This product is garbage.

Not sticky. Do not buy if you need it to sticky to anything.

Purchased this to cover a medical purchase whil showering. This tape does not stick at all. It was falling off on its own within 1 minute of application. I didn't even get into the shower before it fell off. I can't see what use the tape could ever be, I wish I could give it zero stars.

This tape is WONDERFUL for awkward cuts, incisions and wounds on fingers that shouldn’t get wet. It’s almost like stretchy, soft, foam that’s adhesive. The stretchiness makes it perfect to pull tight around angled spaces (like fingers), and the foam makes it soft and comfortable while feeling very protected. SO happy I came across this!

This tape does everything it says and was my favorite tape for years. I've used it with no issues before today. What looks like burn blisters, appeared on my leg where I had the tape placed. I've never had an issue before. I came to the reviews on this site to see if other people had an issue with the tape too. I read several other reviews that had the same problem. It's quite obvious there's inconsistencies with the manufacturing of this product. I won't buy this again.

I bought this for the first time and it is the last time. I put it on my knee and less than two hours later my knee had rashes and oozing blisters like a chemical burn. I have never had that happen before with any other tape. I ended up throwing it away and treating my knee with aloe.

Beware!!! This stuff definitely sticks but it gave me a horrible rash and blisters that won’t go away. It has been a nightmare since taking it off almost a week ago.
