Features
Skin-Friendly and Comfortable: Aupcon cotton kinesiology tape is made from a blend of 95% premium cotton and 5% spandex, perfectly balancing comfort and elasticity. Like a second skin, it feels incredibly light and comfortable when applied to the body.
Breathable and Waterproof: This pain relief tape features a breathable microporous design combined with a hypoallergenic fabric that is soft and skin-friendly. It boasts excellent moisture-wicking properties, keeping you comfortable and cool even during intense exercise.
Professional-Grade Adhesive: Elastic therapeutic tape uses a heat-activated, waterproof acrylic adhesive that is durable. It adheres firmly for 3-5 days, even in sweat, showers, and during exercise, and is easy to remove without leaving sticky residue or irritating the skin.
High Elasticity: Cotton kinesiology tape has a stable elongation of 180-200%, dynamically mimicking the elasticity of human muscles. This ensures flexible and unrestricted support for joints throughout the body.
Water-ripple Design: The water-ripple adhesive design of the physio tape significantly increases the adhesive surface area, preventing premature peeling, ensuring a more even bond, and reducing the likelihood of lifting from the edges. The channels between the adhesive ripples also create micro-vents, allowing your skin to breathe more than when using solid tape.
Versatile Applications: The physio tape meets the application needs of all major muscle groups and joints. From shoulder and knee support to relieving back pain and improving posture to stabilizing ankles and relaxing leg muscles, Aupcon tape provides a safe, non-pharmacological way to relieve pain and improve athletic performance.
Relieves Muscle Pain and Promotes Recovery
When overexertion leads to muscle soreness, cotton kinesiology tape can help relieve pain. Because the gentle, continuous pull of elastic therapeutic tape on the skin stimulates sensory receptors, and the stretching creates pressure on the skin, similar to hand pressure, it can effectively suppress and distract attention from pain, such as knee, shoulder, back, and foot pain.
Improves Blood Circulation and Reduces Inflammation
The elastic therapeutic tape can lift the skin at a microscopic level, creating space between the skin and the underlying muscles and connective tissue. Muscle pain strips help improve blood and lymphatic flow in the application area and accelerate metabolism, thereby reducing swelling and inflammation and promoting faster healing of conditions such as quadriceps tendinitis, plantar fasciitis, and wrist tendinitis.
Provides Flexible Muscle and Joint Support
Aupcon tape, due to its high elasticity, can provide supportive tension to tired or injured muscles, helping to reduce cramps and fatigue. For joints, muscle support tape provides gentle support and stability, helping to prevent sprains from overuse. Unlike zinc oxide tape or orthopedic braces, it doesn’t restrict movement, offering a flexible and dynamic support method.
Protect Skin And Prevent Abrasions
Soccer players often wear turf tape football on vulnerable areas such as elbows, hands, knees, and ankles. This is because their intense running and scrambling on grass make them prone to slipping and falling, easily resulting in abrasions. Elastic sport tape acts as a second layer of protection, preventing abrasions, burns, and other injuries from falls.
What is the difference between cotton and synthetic, and nylon kinesiology tape?
There are three most common muscle pain strips on the market: one is made of pure cotton, the other is made of rayon, and the other is made of nylon.
Cotton: Cotton kinesiology tape is more skin-friendly and breathable, with one-way stretch and no gloss, but the color is more natural. It has specific waterproof properties and will not fall off when exposed to water. It is suitable for all sports.
Synthetic: More wear-resistant and less prone to pilling, one-way stretch, Bright color, best gloss, it has the best water resistance and dries easily after getting wet, making it more suitable for swimming, diving, surfing, and other water sports.
Nylon: Smoother and more delicate, stretches in any direction, Glossy, but not obvious. The smooth surface reduces resistance between clothing and skin, making it suitable for use during sports or strenuous exercise.
These three materials have their advantages and disadvantages, and there is no distinction between good and bad. When choosing, you need to choose according to the characteristics of the three materials, combined with your own needs and application occasions.
Why do sports physical therapy tapes come in different colors?
In a series of sports physical therapy tapes, the base fabric is the same, but different dyes are used to produce different colors of sports physical therapy tape. How to choose depends on your preference.
Does physio tape contain medicinal ingredients?
Physio tape does not contain any pharmaceutical ingredients, so it does not have any side effects.
Can therapy tape get wet (swimming and showering)?
Yes, therapy tape has a certain waterproof effect and can be used for showering, swimming, and bathing normally. The cotton in kinesiology tape does absorb some moisture, so it is recommended to “dry” the kinesiology tape with a towel after showering or swimming.
