2. Introduction
Call free on 0800 121 4626
Adhesive strapping tapes like EAB, zinc oxide
tape and kinesiology tape need to stick securely
to be effective. Obviously, tape that peels off
easily is no use.

3. Clean the area to be taped
Surface dirt and the natural oily secretions of
your skin will interfere with the adhesion of the
tape. Therefore the first step to achieving good
stick is to properly clean the area to which you
will apply the tape.

4. Trim Back The Hair
If the area you need to tape is very hairy, you’ll
have two problems. Firstly, the hair will prevent
full contact with the skin and thus weaken the
adhesion. Secondly, the tape will be painful to
remove later.

5. Use An UnderWrap
Underwrap is a thin foam that you can wrap
around the area prior to taping. It provides an
excellent surface to stick to. Generally, the tape
adheres immediately and permanently to the
underwrap.

6. Use A Pre-taping Spray
Pre-taping sprays are applied to the skin and coat
it in a thin, slightly adhesive film that provides a
good surface for the tape. The film also has
waterproof properties, which can help maintain
adhesion if you sweat.
