Review: SUCCESS, GREAT PURCHASE! - This is the absolute best tape for extremely sensitive and fragile skin. It has been a struggle to find a tape that really works for me, causing no redness, no itching and no welts. While they only have two sizes available, the tape is simple enough to cut to the width/length needed. The tape backing is easy to remove and the tape adheres to the skin with ease and stays in place once you have secured it by gentle pressing to the skin. BONUSES: The tape removes gently, does not pull hair, and leaves NO residue. What a relief it is to have a tape that truly works and remains comfortable all day.
Review: Excellent gentle removal tape - Much easier on the skin than regular hypafix. I've used a lot of regular Hypafix. It's great. It sticks extremely well, and is flexible and hypoallergenic. Unfortunately it sticks so well it can be difficult to remove. It's not waterproof so every time you need to shower or otherwise get wet you'll need to change it. Frequently changing it was ripping hairs and causing pain and redness. The gentle Hypafix costs significatly more than the regular version, and I wasn't sure if it would be sticky enough stay on. It turns out it is definitely worth the extra cost for anyone with sensitive skin, it removes so easily. It doesn't stay on quite as well as regular Hypafix, but for me it has been staying on well enough. It seems to stick better to skin than to itself, fyi. I also have purchased Mepitac, and I found it did not stick on well enough for areas that would receive any friction - under clothing for example. Also, it is not breathable and it seemed to be creating some kind of allergic reaction. Mepitac is supposed to be good for scars, and I had some success with this use of it before developing the allergic response, but for general bandaging this Hypafix gentle tape works much better and hasn't created any issues. I also purchased 3M gentle surgical tape, in the 2 inch width. This removed gently but would leave behind all its adhesive on my skin which is unpleasant and hard to remove. It also had an unpleasant perfume like odor, which may have been from storage conditions prior to shipping, but could have also been inherent to the adhesive. I also have used a lot of Tegaderm. Tegaderm is great in that it is waterproof, however, I've found that the edges can irritate skin and create more problems than it solves. It's not flexible and works best on areas of the body that do not stretch or move much. So I switched mainly to Hypafix except when I need something waterproof. Now that I've discovered the gentle version, I will primarily use it instead. In conclusion, if you have any difficulties with other tapes being too sticky, not flexible enough, or causing allergic reactions, I can highly recommend this gentle Hypafix tape. It's the best thing I've found so far and would be especially great for kids who hate band-aid removal.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ No more red welts!
*by J***. on January 9, 2026*

I have to go to the dermatologist often for biopsies so I end up needing to keep my wounds covered. I get red itchy welts from many adhesives. I heard about Hypafix and even though it’s pretty expensive I decided to give it a try. Zero irritation, it’s wonderful! I like that you can cut it to size instead of dealing with pre cut pieces. Just put gauze on the wound and then cover with an appropriate size. The roll lasts a while too.
