#7
Generic Athletic Tape
3.5
(4)
"I just use unbranded cheap tape from eBay that ships cheaply to the UK. It's not marketed for binding but it is meant to be for chest repositioning and I’ve had successful binding with it for multiple days."
"Honestly, use the cheap stuff. Any 5cm x 5m will work. I just bought 4 rolls on eBay for like £15 I personally think it’s a waste of money to use anything else when the unbranded stuff works really well"
"Just some generic athletic tape from target, nothing fancy. it’ll be in the first aid area"
"I just used athletic tape from the drugstore. It’s skin safe and you can get 3 rolls for $5. Personally I don’t think it’s worth spending more for trans tape or KT tape that are basically the same thing"
