Frida Mom Pain + Strain Relief Tape

Im a PT and I would not recommend this to be used directly on abdomen while pregnant. Skin is already overstretched and thin. Not only is your skin sensitive to adhesive but physically you are ripping off your skin cells when removing. There are other supports that can be used to help with weigh of belly/baby. You can also use your own arms/hands ro help carry the weight and decrease the strain in your back. If you are having back or pelvic pain consult with a physical therapist for other techniques and SI joint belt etc.

I am in love with this tape. I will recommend it to any woman in need im 40 on baby 6 I'm very top heavy and this pregnancy is the worst. I bought this tape to help with my breast pain and I am floored how good this tape works and I can wear it all day long no pain thank you I really appreciate this product

Over all worked and helped my pain however I think I’m allergic to the adhesive because there’s an imprint on my belly and I’m really itchy where I placed the tape. I only left it on for 6 hours and used oil to help get it off.

After taking it off in one day i experienced severe abdominal pain,scaring and welts in the shape of the tape and blisters

Recently bought and having a bad skin reaction to it

I BOUGHT THIS PRODUCT BECAUSE I AM PREGNANT WITH TWINS, AND AM WAITING ON MY ACTUAL BELLY BAND TO COME IN THE MAIL. I COULDN'T LAST A FULL WEEK, FIRST DAY I PUT IT ON THAT NIGHT AFTER THE SHOWER AND IT ITCHED SO BAD. THE SECOND DAY I LOTIONED UP AND PUT IT ON BEFORE WORK I JUST FELT PRESSURE WHEN THE TWINS MOVED. MY THIRD AND AND LAST DAY I HAD LEFT WORK EARLY AND HAD TO TAKE IT OFF, IT WAS BURNING AND ITCHING. I USED BABY OIL AND AVACADO OIL TO GET IT OFF MY STOMACH WAS RASHED WHERE THE TAPE HAD BEEN, I SHOWERED TO GET THE REST OFF AND IT BURNED SO BAD.

I never write reviews and I love the entire Frida brand, but this product is the exception. The tape provided adequate support as the product advertises; however, there is a major flaw in the design. I placed the tape on my stomach in the morning and it originally felt great. I noticed that the tape became itchy as the day progressed. I could see visible skin irritation by the evening. I soaked it in coconut oil and body oil as the product tells you to take it off, but it did not work. Instead, it left welts and blisters as I tried to peel it off. The pain could be compared to ripping off duck tape super glued to skin. I don’t get reactions like this to other products, so this is practically a first. Do not recommend to anyone with sensitive/delicate skin!

I'll attach some photos I JUST took. I even soaked the tape in oil. I only just applied this not even 24 hours ago and it started peeling right away. It was getting so painful I chose to remove it just now. This is what I'm left with.

That this product didn't work for me disappoints me. After wearing the tape for four hours on the first day I used it, I felt really itchy. Since it was my first time using it, I reasoned that it was just something new. But an hour later, when I managed to get it off. When the tape was at and left the tape pattern on me, it itched even more. I tried it again the next day, but with a different design, and after four hours I started to become itchy. I eventually took it off gradually. Where the tape was, my stomach was red, and it really felt like a burn.

I bought this to help support my bump while I worked. There is no warning on the box that this product contains latex adhesive. I am allergic to latex and wish I had known about this prior to purchasing the product. It probably would work great if I had no allergy, however, that’s not the case. Instead, I am left with chemical burns and now have marking on my stomach in the squiggly pattern that was on the tape. I’m extremely displeased by this result and by the lack of labeling.

I bought a week ago . And used one time . It left my skin burned and itchy . It’s started peeling and I decided to go ahead and remove it . It was a painful experience & I’m 8 months pregnant. It worked at first then started peeling. Never had stretch marks or any marks . Now it’s just there .

i bought this because i was having severe pain in my pelvis area and my back ive had for a few days only thing is i don’t like how it frayed at the ends and started peeling in the corners after one night

It burnt my skin so bad and left rashes it sticks pretty ok it likes to peel up tho I just wish I could use it with out getting burns

It’s not the best for sesitive skin dose relive pain in certain area but a belly belt is more effective

I got this hoping it would help. And for a while it did but taking it off was absolutely horrible. Even after soaking in a shower, tore skin and it’s been weeks now and I still have the print of the tape on my stomach. I wish it was softer and not as rough. This does stick tho Lolol. Definitely doesn’t come off for anything and when it does it takes some skin with it. I should have read the other reviews first. Other women had the same problem.

It might be application error, will try again, but just the ends of the tape seemed to not want to stick after only a small amount of time since it's supposed to last a few days. I did notice a difference while wearing it and walking around for a while which was really nice. It seemed to pull at my skin a bit and got annoying so I ended up removing after only a day or so of wearing. Removing the tape was not pleasant. I may need to try a different method, but removal was not very easy.

Do not buy this! Wife got chemical burns the first day of use. She used tummy tape with no problem and could leave it on for days at a time. It was ichy and had her in tears taking it off. She said it felt like duck tape coming off and that was after we soaked it in water in the shower then put oil on it like they recommend. It would not come off. So on top of the chemical burns it left rashes from pealing her skin off when i removed it.

Gave my wife a chemical within 8 hours of putting on. She’s ran out of the tummy tape she used that she could wear for 4 days with no problem that actually helped. She said this stuff made her stomach itch and didn’t feel support at all. At the end of the first day of using it she has chemical burns. And we tried to take it off like they recommended by soaking it in belly oil and it didn’t help. She was in tears trying to get it off because it wouldn’t come off. It left a rash from pealing it off even after running water over it and the oil. Do not get this stuff unless you want chemical burns and love ripping your skin off with the duck tape equivalent to belly tape.

Wish I could give this 0 stars!! Put this on a little over 24 hours ago and I couldn’t even leave it on a full day! The tape hurt so bad! Once I tried to take it off for relief it literally took my skin off! The worse pain I’ve ever been in! (And I’m a c section mom, not even after surgery does it hurt this bad). I went to my OBGYN and her and the nurses had to use adhesive remover but even at that this tape still pulled off my skin! I cried and screamed as they had to slowly rip skin off along with the tape. Frida should definitely recall this crappy product. My OBGYN has never seen something so destructive. I have burns and tears. She has to order the special ointment. I can’t shower for a few days (sponge bath only). Also I can’t wear shirts! Literally just got out of bed and I had peel my shirt off my healing skin. What fun! Not looking forward to this healing process. Please moms do not buy! Safe yourself the horrible pain from my experience. I should’ve just dealt with the back pain from my baby, wasn’t as bad as what I am experiencing now.
