BEST OF THE REST Review: Sticks well and doesn’t peel - I’ve been using SPORTTAPE Zinc Oxide Tape for rugby, and it’s been a solid go‑to for support and protection. The tape feels strong and sticks well even through heavy scrums and long matches, giving good stability to wrists, ankles, and other joints. The 3.8 cm width is just right for taping larger areas without feeling bulky, and it holds up well against sweat and movement. It’s not the easiest to tear by hand, but that’s a small trade‑off for how reliable it feels once applied. Overall, a dependable choice if you need durable, supportive tape for rugby or other high‑intensity sports. Review: Amazing product! - My husband suffered with large blisters when training for his 18 mile charity walk. I bought this for the actual event and it worked amazingly! Unfortunately he still got a blister next to the area he covered but that's due to not covering the area of his foot fully. But the parts of his feet that had the tape on, were well protected. He said he couldn't feel it and it is literally like having another layer of skin to protect your real skin. I would highly recommend this product, but just make sure you're covering all areas fully and correctly as necessary. ## Features - Zinc Oxide Tape 2.5cm - We use a premium, lightweight cotton which has a high tensile strength. It is lighter than our Zinc Tan Physio Tape, but not as strong. We would recommend using white sport tape for lightweight areas such as the wrist and hand, or as a blister prevention tape around the heel and toe. - BJJ Tape - The 2.5cm width is perfect as a sports tape strapping for fingers and thumbs when grappling or weightlifting. Used predominately within Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) and other martial arts as a finger tape, our Zinc-Oxide Tape is designed for elite sport. - Boxing Tape - Used as either a wrist tape, or glove and hand tape when boxing, our 2.5cm zinc tape is designed for strength and durability. It peels off the roll easily and takes a lot of force to break. As the official tape partner of Welsh Boxing, our tape is used as a boxing tape for hands by fighters at all levels across the UK. - Sports Tape Strapping - The 2.5cm width Zinc Oxide Sports Tape is popular with podiatrists and first aid practitioners as a plantar fasciitis tape, blister tape, ankle tape or first aid plaster tape. The rigid tape sticks around the back of the heel, creating a thicker pad of skin under the foot, protecting and cushioning the underside of the foot from friction, and supporting the arch. - Wrist & Hand Sports Injury Tape - Sometimes referred to as athletic tape, or rigid tape, it is strong and lightweight. Used in a huge variety of sports, from boxing for hands, to goalkeeper football wrist tape and rowing tape to prevent blisters. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0DP4WZFDW | | Adhesive Format | adhesive | | Adhesive Location | body | | Adhesive Side Count | 1 | | Best Sellers Rank | 1,270 in Health & Personal Care ( See Top 100 in Health & Personal Care ) 5 in Tape & Supplies | | Brand | SPORTTAPE | | Colour | White | | Compatible Material | Skin | | Country Of Origin | China | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 654 Reviews | | Included Components | 1 roll of SPORTTAPE Zinc Oxide Tape 2.5cm | | Item Dimensions L x W x Thickness | 10L x 0.03W metres | | Item Resistance | general resistance | | Item Weight | 100 Grams | | Manufacturer | SPORTTAPE | | Manufacturer Part Number | 5061046162058 | | Material | Cotton | | Model Number | ZO25W | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of items | 1 | | Other Special Features of the Product | Latex Free, Lightweight, No Residue, Strong | | Recommended Uses For Product | Blister Prevention, Indoor, Joint Strapping, Outdoor | | Recommended uses for product | Blister Prevention, Indoor, Joint Strapping, Outdoor | | Size Name | 2.5cm x 10m - 1 Roll | | Special feature | Latex Free, Lightweight, No Residue, Strong | | Surface Recommendation | Direct to Skin | | Tensile Strength | 50 Newtons Per Square Millimeter (N/mm2) | | Unit Count | 10.0 meter | | Water Resistance Level | Not Water Resistant | ## Product Details - **Brand:** SPORTTAPE - **Colour:** White - **Material:** Cotton - **Number of items:** 1 - **Recommended uses for product:** Blister Prevention, Indoor, Joint Strapping, Outdoor ## Images ![Zinc Oxide Tape - 3 Rolls, 5cm x 10m - White Rigid Strapping Tape - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51LE5ZehikL.jpg) ![Zinc Oxide Tape - 3 Rolls, 5cm x 10m - White Rigid Strapping Tape - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61vWANII4ML.jpg) ![Zinc Oxide Tape - 3 Rolls, 5cm x 10m - White Rigid Strapping Tape - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61jkaCklffL.jpg) ![Zinc Oxide Tape - 3 Rolls, 5cm x 10m - White Rigid Strapping Tape - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61Ua-P+1jJL.jpg) ![Zinc Oxide Tape - 3 Rolls, 5cm x 10m - White Rigid Strapping Tape - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61Z5ANWY++L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: IS ZINC OXIDE TAPE WATERPROOF?** A: Zinc Oxide Tape can withstand a shower, or downpour during sport, but it is not waterproof - so can't withstand submersion in water for long periods, or swimming. **Q: CAN THIS TAPE BE USED FOR ANKLE SUPPORT?** A: Yes, Zinc Oxide Tape is a great choice for ankle support in either the 3.8cm or 5cm width. Follow our guide above. If you need the highest level of support - choose Zinc Oxide Tan Tape. **Q: DOES THIS TAPE LEAVE A STICKY RESIDUE?** A: This depends on how long the tape has been left on for, and how hard it has had to work to stay in place. Generally, our Zinc Oxide Tape is residue free when removing. If you want to be certain of no residue - use our Tape Off Tape Removal Spray. **Q: IS THIS TAPE HYPOALLERGENIC?** A: Yes, our Zinc Oxide based glue is hypoallergenic (contains no typical allergens and unlikely to cause a reaction) and latex free. It is also made from 100% cotton for comfort when wearing. **Q: IS THIS THE SAME AS ATHLETIC TAPE?** A: Yes, Athletic Tape or Trainers Tape is the typical American term for Zinc Oxide Tape - a rigid (non-stretch) tape designed for support and immobilisation. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sticks well and doesn’t peel *by K***9 on 13 January 2026* I’ve been using SPORTTAPE Zinc Oxide Tape for rugby, and it’s been a solid go‑to for support and protection.

Be careful *by M***M on 10 April 2026* DO NOT PUT THIS TAPE STRAIGHT ON TO THE SKIN. This tape is so strong that it took my skin off on first application. I didn't read the I structures (assumed it was normal bandage tape). It's far from skin safe.
