sorry babe the kinesiology tape stays on while i’m on my knees begging for forgiveness to a god that has forsaken me and will never return

If you haven’t heard of kinesiology tape yet, listen up! I first used kinesiology tape (or k-tape) in PT for my knee issues about 10 years ago. I swear by it, and it definitely helps soft tissue / muscle / tendon pain. Watch some YouTube videos on how to apply, get yourself some. 💙🥄 You’ll thank me!

Knut Tip #1

Kinesiology (KT) tape is awesome. Joints hurt? KT tape. Breasts? KT tape! (Use like Trans Tape) For less than 10 USD it is so worth it. It can be found it in the pharmacy by the braces. Also online

Okay so I’ve tried taping my knees in the past with KT tape and stuff like it but I haven’t done it in a while so I decided to get some target brand tape. It claims to be water resistant and designed to last for 3 days so I decided eh it’s about $6 ($14 less than KT branded) so let’s try it. One of the strips didn’t even last 10 minutes and the others didn’t last more than an hour. Like wtf. I wasn’t even in water I was just walking around and sweating a little (sure a little for me is probably a lot for other people cause I sweat a lot but still) how the fuck can it claim to be water resistant if it can’t even withstand some sweat??????

I just wanted something to help with my pain and stability today while I worked but I guess that’s not gonna happen. Does anyone have any tricks for getting tape to stay? Or any alternatives other than braces cause sometimes I don’t want to have to wear something so bulky especially if it’s just gonna end up sliding down anyways.

The precut kinesiology tape is definitely the way to go.

It’s been a while since I’ve used k-tape for hyperextended joint pain but I’m pleasantly surprised by how much it helps. It’s like a hug for my sore joints.

Zebras and those with arthritis, please lend me your ears.

This is an amazing video for knuckle pain and has helped me so much! I swear by it.

This is niche as hell, but target changed the formulation of their store brand kinesiology tape and I want to cry, like actually cry.

It was the best, cheapest tape I could find and now the price has increased by $2 and the make of the product changed. It’s in “fancier packaging” and looks and acts more like the KT name brand tape, which for some reason just doesn’t cut it for me.

Granted I rely on kinesiology tape more than a human should, but I have tried sooooo many different brands and the Target tape felt like a hidden gem.

All is not lost however. I have an appointment with orthotics on Thursday and will be finally getting braces for instability and osteoarthritis!

Friendly advice: Don't get kinesio taped on sunburnt skin.

Not me wearing kinesiology tape with gauze on my nipples because it’s the only thing working against this chaffing/menstruation-related pain.

Yay my transtape got here.

Like I said the first time they ordered it, the packaging is extremely discrete, you'd have no idea from looking at it that it's transtape or anything else related to gender, it's just a blank cardboard box with a white shipping label that just says "204 W Boombah blvd. Yorkville, IL, 60560", and if you google that to see what comes up, it just says it's a warehouse, doesn't connect it to transtape at all.

So if you want to buy gender affirming things online but are worried about other people seeing them, as long as no one cuts the box open, you'd be fine with transtape.

Although as a PSA the website (transtape.life) is annoying and has an autoplay video of someone in a bathtub with purple lights and stuff. They're not naked but I have no fucking clue why they though putting that as an autoplay video is a good idea -.-

Kinesiology tape?

I guess I still got my ACE bandage to wrap up my ankle, we will see if this helps. No harm in trying.

[fandoms-writings]

trying some kinesiology tape for my wrist, hopefully it helps, but right now, it just feels weird lol

if anyone has any tips for kt tape, please let me know 🥺
