A common problem with sports tape is sometimes skin irritation. In most cases of sensitive skin, the environment (hot and humid) or synthetic tape is an irritant. This is when cotton bands are useful for strength athletes.

Not all tapes are hypoallergenic. Many are made of latex or other materials that can cause unpleasant reactions to people with sensitive skin. If you fall into this category, the quality of the motor tape is less important if you feel uncomfortable when wearing it. Kinesio’s tape is completely anti allergic and is a good choice for those with more sensitive skin.
