This waterproof tape really works.
I received the Nexcare Absolute Waterproof Tape from 3-M. This is great stuff. I managed to cut my thumb and I needed a bandage. The bandages wouldn't stay stick on my thumb. So I decided to try this Nextcare tape. Wow did it work! I wore it for 2 days, and it was still stuck! And my cut was almost healed. I could move my thumb just like always and actually forgot that ...

Shockingly bad
Purchased this to cover a medical purchase whil showering. This tape does not stick at all. It was falling off on its own within 1 minute of application. I didn't even get into the shower before it fell off. I can't see what use the tape could ever be, I wish I could give it zero stars.

Not what it used to be
I have been buying this product for years and use it daily under Johnson's white tape to protect my fingers when working. I have noticed recently that the tape is not as sticky as it used to be and not nearly as waterproof. Even more disturbing is the massive price increase I've seen recently. I used to be able to purchase it for between $3.29 & $3.99 a roll -- Now the ...

Next care first aid tape
This is an excellent product to use for taping up wound dressings. Also I can't say enough about the speedy delivery. I was almost shocked. It came in one day. More than met my expectations. I would definitely order the product and order the product from Staples again.

Nexcare Absolute Waterproof Tape worked great.

Knowing that I would be washing my hands frequently while preparing the chicken and wanting to keep my wound clean, I wrapped my finger with a band aid and the over wrapped it with the Nexcare absolute waterproof tape.

A great addition to any first aid kit!
This is a great bandaid replacement! So many times bandaids just can’t fit or stay where you need them and this product fills that need. It sticks where you want it too and yet can be easily removed. I think this is a great addition to any first aid kit!

Great adhesive that is waterproof!
Great adhesive that is waterproof! It has enough hold that it gets the job done but also removes easily. I like that it is waterproof for added durability. It is flexible tape which is great for athletic use.

Water proof tape perfect for hikes!
I have a nice pair of hiking boots that give me a terrible blister on my right inside ankle every time I wear them. I was given a package of Nexcare Waterproof Tape to sample and decided to see if this tape would help. This tape is amazing! Not only is is waterproof, but it is soft, almost like mole skin. I put a strip on my ankle, went on a hike, and didn't get a blist...

Sticky waterproof tape
I used this waterproof tape to cover an external heart monitor while showering, and it worked so so. The tape is fairly sticky. Some of the tape would lift up near my shoulder when it got wet, so some water got underneath the tape, but I think if someone used the tape away from joints and areas that move, it might stay in place better. I received this waterproof tape fo...

Great tape and easy to use.
I like this tape because it’s really easy to use and it holds well without having my skin feeling itchy.
It holds up well when wet but not soaked. I would definitely recommend using this tape for small bandages.

Better than bandaids!
While raking, the wooden handle took off some of my skin between my thumb and pointer finger, near the lower knuckle of my thumb. I only give this detail because that is an awkward spot for a bandaid. But still, I tried to wear bandaids for 2-3 days. One side would stay on but the other side would always hang off. I also wash my hands a lot (I'm an elementary teacher) s...

Flex, Stretch, Waterproof Miracle
I applied the Nexcare absolute waterproof tape to my middle finger of my right hand to protect it while lifting and using my hand weights and performing household tasks. This tape was so comfortable I forgot it was in place on my finger. When flexing my finger it did not bind at my joints or produce any pressure. I wash my dishes by hand and was amazed that it stayed ad...

Great quality
I just cut my finger in a place that would not allow a bandaid to stay on . I used the tape and I was able to continue to cook and wash dishes .It is waterproof and it stays on without a problem . I received this product for free to test but I will buy it in the future .

Performs Well
Fortunately, I have yet to suffer a skin wound since the sample product has arrived. That has not prevented me from trying a little to see if it indeed does stretch a bit and is indeed waterproof. It does so wonderfully and appears to approximate my skin tone well enough. While it binds well it removes painlessly and leaves no stickiness behind. Can't really say I look ...

It’s a Sticky situation!
I volunteer to evaluate products for 3M, and I recently received a free sample of Nexcare absolute waterproof tape. I have a child who runs cross country who has had a toe injury this season. It has been very difficult, because the bandage has been coming off because of all the sweat. Along, comes my free tape and it actually works! It is super sticky, adhering to the g...

Really waterproof
I volunteered to evaluate products for 3m, and the company recently sent me a sample of Nexcare waterproof tape. Sometimes I tend to cut my fingers when using knives and I constantly have to wash my hand at least 10 or more times a day. So wearing bandaids can become quite a pain because they keep falling off. The Nexcare tape is very sturdy and most importantly, it's w...

Great tape
This is a great tape for those who need to wrap a bandage or gauze around like a finger or a toe. It is easy to take off the roll, easy to tear it off, and easy to apply. I have used it on my son's finger splint and he took a shower with it on and it stayed on. I have not been able to do that with other kinds of medical tape. I received this product free from 3M, but I ...
