The length I find okay, but it's clear that you can not do anything with it. I do not understand, therefore, the complaints of many users, the length is clear before buying.
The tapes are dusted with talcum powder and have an odor, but the one only smells strongly when one sniffs the band itself. So he is not too strong. If it has warm temperatures, but it may be different. Actually I think the smell is not disturbing. The talc probably prevents chapping of the latex by moisture and is therefore useful.
The guide is brief, the nine exercises are each represented by a little picture. But if you search the Internet, you will find various exercises and exercise videos that offer a greater diversity and new ideas.
Overall, I find the tapes okay, at this price you can not complain.
