Gentle for sensitive skin, but stickiness lasts all night.
This tape is somehow strong enough to last the night, (with more than one re-stick), but also gentle enough that it doesn't cause any issues with my sensitive skin. I even unstuck it a few times to control my Alexa, and then restuck it without any issue. Love this stuff. The roll does seem pretty small, but I think it should last well considering I am able to use the same slice of tape all night long.

Nexcare vs "X" style individual tape strips
I've been using the plastic "X" style tape for over 1.5 years and switched to Nexcare 3 weeks ago. I like it so much more than the individual X tapes. I highly recommend trying out Nexcare as mouth tape while sleeping. Cost: This is a no-brainer. The plastic "X" style tape strips individual tape strips are very expensive. Nexcare is cheap *and* the roll looks like it's going to last a very long time. Ease of use: Nexcare is on a roll and can be easily torn with fingers alone. The edge of the roll is easy to find and pull up because the tape has a little bit of thickness. So, getting a piece just before sleeping is quick and easy. The plastic "X" style tape strips require some fidgeting with the paper or plastic that the strip comes on, and I almost always ended up bending a corner of it onto itself. Feel: Nexcare is soft to the point where I forget it is on my lips at all. The stiff plastic "X" style tape strips are not very comfortable and could make my lips a bit itchy at times. Reapplying: The Nexcare tape is super sticky and easy to apply and reapply -- I sip water about 2x per night. The X tapes did not stick as well after reapplying, but the Nexcare is just as good. Lip balm: I can also apply some lip balm to the corners of my mouth when needed after putting on the Nexcare tape, and only the edges of the tape lose their stickiness. When I tried that with the plastic "X" style strips, the entire tape would lose its stickiness almost immediately. Residue: Some reviews said they get a residue on their lips after taking the Nexcare off. I haven't experienced that. It's possible that some rolls have this problem and others do not. Or that it's very sensitive to heat, and that occurs after too much heat exposure. I'm only guessing, though. Customizability: Since you tear off a piece of Nexcare tape with your fingers, you can customize it to the perfect length for your lips. I only cover about an inch of my lips, so I could always breathe through the corners of my mouth while sleeping, if necessary (but this hasn't happened). The plastic "X" style strips are one size only. Trust: The companies that sell the plastic "X" style strips change all the time. I could never buy the same product twice (3+ months apart) because they would disappear, only to be replaced by another company and a different-looking product. Nexcare is made by 3M, which has been around for decades and is used in medical settings. I trust the ingredients of Nexcare much more because of that.

Gentle & effective - great mouth tape
This tape is a perfect replacement for the expensive mouth tape we were buying on a subscription. We were paying about $30 per month for 40 mouth tapes, and one $7 roll of this tape lasted me months! It sticks even better than mouth tape & does not hurt all all when removing it. I’d highly recommend this for mouth tape or any other use as it’s extremely gentle and effective!

Sticks to firmly with pain-free removal
This is a great product if you need to tape something to your skin, but don't want your skin to go with it when you take it off The only reason it doesn't get that 5th star is price.

Soft, strong, and leaves nothing behind!
I love this tape! I’ve used it every single night for months now, specifically over my mouth, and have zero issues with it bothering my sensitive skin. It stays in place, leaves no sticky residue, has no odor, and is soft on my skin. The quality is also 10/10. Best tape out there for sensitive skin (or just for direct skin contact)!

Very good tape for lash artist
It’s really good for the skin; I’m a lash artist and use it all the time—it doesn’t budge and stays in place. The only downside is that one of my clients seems to be allergic to this tape; it makes her very itchy, so I’m not sure if it’s due to one of the ingredients. Also this was the best deal I found on Amazon

Great for Sensitive Skin and Areas
I use the Nexcare tape for nighttime mouth taping and it seems to work rather well! It has medium to strong hold and is pain-free when being removed. I do notice that if your skin has any moisturizer, serums, or similar products on, it will not adhere to the skin so it is important to keep the area dry before applying the tape. It is silicone based, not latex. I wear this tape nightly and have found that it doesn't slip, even through regular tossing and turning. As mentioned, I use this tape for mouth-taping. Considering the mouth is a highly mobile area, I am impressed that the Nexcare tape does not lose it's adhesion or hold over 8 hours. This product offers 4 yards of tape and it seems to last quite a while for what I use it for. The tape is not meant to be ripped so it needs to be cut. It is easy to cut, so there is a lot of freedom regarding the size and shape of tape for your needs. I have extremely sensitive skin and this tape does not aggravate the delicate skin around my mouth. There is no residue left behind after using this tape and I have never had my skin turn remotely red in any capacity. This is a huge bonus as I am very careful with the health of my skin. Not only is there no residue left behind on my skin after using the Nexcare Strong Hold Tape, but there is no 'bandage line' going around the perimeter of where the tape used to be. It's as if it were never there in the first place! I'd highly recommend this to anyone with sensitive skin who wants pain-free bandage removal every time.

Questionably Sticky
I’m not sure if I got a bad batch, but my roll was not that sticky. I tried to use this as mouth tape (I have a beard) and it did not stick at all, even trying to put it under my mustache and directly . I tried sticking to my arm to see if it would stick and the stickiness was still questionable, unfortunately.

Good mouth tape.
Use as mouth tape. It works. Stays on all night if I don’t use Lionel and if I moisturize at least 30 minutes prio. P
