Terms of quality this is a super tape can definitely compete with Kinesiotape from the pharmacy - and costs a lot less! I play volleyball and let myself taping before every match it. I have very often back pain; the tape alleviates this immediately and helps me almost complaint free to come through 3-5 hours of sports. After I let the tape mostly still about 7 days (with a daily shower) on the back. On its own, the tape actually does not solve. It keeps like glue and is still deduct easily and without hair and skin loss :)
