Preeti Malik, 37
I used the Sterimed paper tape last week and can’t be more satisfied with its results. I am hypersensitive to virtually all adhesives there are. But this tape is the only tape that doesn’t irritate my skin, or cause redness or pain on removal. This Paper Tape is breathable, flexible and is amazing for people like me with sensitive skin. It firmly adheres to the area without causing any problem. My doctor advised me to make sure that the area is clean and dry. After you’ve applied the tape it is essential to press and smoothen the back of the tape with warm hands, this will optimize its purpose of adhering to the surface. I liked how it doesn’t immediately come off when comes in contact of water. It is waterproof and protects my wound at the time of shower or while working with water. For me, it was a life saviour.

This tape didn’t fail me. I got a painful blister at my heel bone due to shoe bite. Few days passed and the condition worsened until I ordered this tape. Earlier, I couldn’t wear any shoes because of the pain caused by chafing. But this tape came to my rescue. It is light, breathable and adheres well even on joints. It differs from products of other brands since it is quite thin and works well without adding a lot of bulk under my socks. It didn’t only act as a barrier between my blister and the shoe but also promoted fast healing. It is advisable to apply the tape on clean and dry surface for better results. I would totally recommend this product.
