Why you must properly prepare your skin before using athletic tape

Optimal Adhesion: Clean, dry skin provides the ideal surface for athletic tape to adhere to effectively. Removing dirt, sweat, and oils from the skin helps ensure that the adhesive on the tape can bond securely, minimizing the risk of the tape slipping or coming loose during physical activity.

Reduced Risk of Skin Irritation: Dirt, sweat, and oils on the skin can trap bacteria and other microorganisms, increasing the risk of skin irritation or infection when covered by athletic tape. By thoroughly cleaning the skin before taping, you help reduce the likelihood of skin irritation, allergic reactions, or other adverse skin reactions.

Improved Comfort: Applying athletic tape to clean, dry skin enhances the athlete's comfort and overall experience during physical activity. Tape adheres more securely to clean skin, providing consistent support and stability without causing discomfort or irritation from trapped debris or moisture.

Enhanced Durability: Properly preparing the skin helps ensure that athletic tape adheres securely throughout the duration of activity, maintaining its effectiveness and support. When applied to clean, dry skin, the tape is less likely to peel or loosen prematurely, reducing the need for frequent reapplication and enhancing its durability during intense or prolonged exercise.

Optimized Performance: Athletic tape that adheres securely to the skin provides optimal support and stability, allowing athletes to perform at their best without worrying about tape slippage or loss of effectiveness. By properly preparing the skin before taping, athletes can trust that the Sport Tapes will provide the support they need to excel in their sport while minimizing the risk of injury or discomfort.
