It works as it should, long lasting yet isn't too harsh when removing. I use it to cover bruises on my arms from soccer while they are healing -- looks better than showing a bruise and you can cut it to shape. I also wrap my toes to prevent blistering in my cleats. Also, I tape this into a variety of shoes to prevent squeaking and slipping [such as on the inside of soccer cleats at the heel/ankle cup and even on dress shoes at the heels and toes] and it lasts at least a season. I also use it with some cotton to make a versatile band aid to wrap on areas that a traditional band aid won't cover. Yesterday, I taped a strip just under each knee cap and it gave reassuring support for knees worn out from decades of running. This tape has so many uses. UPDATE: I have bought their standard black [they have an extra strong black also, but not sure it is any different than the regular black] and it sticks so well that is seems to be a cut above this one as far as performance. The black can last up to a week and even when I am doing hot yoga -- that is very impressive. I continue to buy this beige when I have a need for cover ups, and the black for more serious applications. Was using the black for LCL taping method where one of the tapes scoops around the knee. You can feel the blood flow to the area, plus give support. Was easy to remove also. Great product. ## Features - The authentic original elastic muscle and medical tape invented by Kinesio founder Dr. Kenzo Kase; made in the USA - Kinesio is the premium sports & medical tape and taping method to lift the skin to create space between skin & tissues layers - Relieves discomfort, inflammation, and swelling from chronic & acute injuries - Kinesio Tex Gold FP (Finger Print) adhesive technology is the preferred choice of professional therapeutic practitioners worldwide - Highest grade cotton is water resistant and can be worn continuously for 3-5 days; Hypoallergenic & Latex-Free ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000VHZ7WS | | Adhesive Format | Strip | | Adhesive Location | Patterned | | Adhesive Material | Cotton | | Adhesive Side Count | 1 | | Best Sellers Rank | #9,845 in Health & Household ( See Top 100 in Health & Household ) #246 in Athletic Tapes & Wraps #1,032 in Sales & Deals | | Brand | Kinesio | | Brand Name | Kinesio | | Color | Red (Pink) | | Compatible Material | Cotton | | Configuration | 2 Inch x 16.4 Feet, Red | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 8,536 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00850989002102 | | Item Resistance | Water Resistant | | Manufacturer | Kinesio | | Material | Cotton | | Material Type | Cotton | | Model | 0850989002102 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Packs | 1 | | Other Special Features of the Product | Kinesio Tex Gold FP (Finger Print) Adhesive Technology, Micro Air Pocket Technology | | Part Number | 0850989002102 | | Recommended Uses For Product | Body, Sports | | Size Name | 2 Inch x 16.4 Feet (Pack of 1) | | Special Feature | Kinesio Tex Gold FP (Finger Print) Adhesive Technology, Micro Air Pocket Technology | | UPC | 767644803380 850989002102 784922595348 772195558931 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Water Resistance Level | Water Resistant | ## Images ![Kinesio Taping - Elastic Therapeutic Athletic Tape Tex Gold FP - Red – 2 in. x 16.4 ft - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81WjaB5dR6L.jpg) ![Kinesio Taping - Elastic Therapeutic Athletic Tape Tex Gold FP - Red – 2 in. x 16.4 ft - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61GybVSNp6L.jpg) ![Kinesio Taping - Elastic Therapeutic Athletic Tape Tex Gold FP - Red – 2 in. x 16.4 ft - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61xv3vidIvL.jpg) ![Kinesio Taping - Elastic Therapeutic Athletic Tape Tex Gold FP - Red – 2 in. x 16.4 ft - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61CDtYTCjhL.jpg) ![Kinesio Taping - Elastic Therapeutic Athletic Tape Tex Gold FP - Red – 2 in. x 16.4 ft - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61BKnhgHCoL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Size, Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: is the red really pink** A: Yes, the red is really a pinkish red. **Q: what is the different from Tex Gold FP** A: Sorry, have not used this one. It could be just a matter of color. I always used the teal one. But there could be something about the elasticity. There's a very specific way to cut and apply the tapes and I recommend you have a physical therapist do it for you the first time. **Q: Can someone explain to me the "life" of any KT tape? does it expire, will heat damage it, is there an ideal way to store it?** A: The KT tape does not have a shelf life; however, tape is best stored in a moderate temperature environment. Excessive heat or cold will affect the tape’s ease of use. **Q: is this latex free?** A: The box says 100% cotton , latex free. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It’s good *by A***P on August 6, 2026* Works well but leaves a horrible residue on your body after but it’s the only one that stays for a long time on me ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Just buy it -- many uses for this tape *by T***X on September 18, 2023* I've been tempted by some of the knock offs being sold for half the price since I don't always use this as kinesio and so could go with a cheapie brand, but continue to buy this one.

It felt about 1/2 the thickness of the old tape. ("Gettin' cheap, are they?!") BUT what I found is that this tape stays STUCK (adhered) much, much longer than my old/thicker tape! It's 10 days later, and the tape is still secure! A little frayed on the edges now, but this is amazing! So don't judge until you try it! ## Frequently Bought Together - Kinesio Taping - Elastic Therapeutic Athletic Tape Tex Gold FP - Red – 2 in. x 16.4 ft - Kinesio Taping - Elastic Therapeutic Athletic Tape Tex Gold FP - Bulk Roll - Beige – 2 in. x 103 ft - Kinesio Taping - Elastic Therapeutic Athletic Tape Tex Gold FP - Bulk Roll - Black – 2 in. x 103 ft --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/2085297-kinesio-taping-elastic-therapeutic-athletic-tape-tex-gold-fp-red](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/2085297-kinesio-taping-elastic-therapeutic-athletic-tape-tex-gold-fp-red) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-09-07*
