Quick Answer: What Happens When Kt Tape Doesn't Stick

How do you know if KT Tape is too tight?

Check that the tape is not too tight by pinching the skin below the tape for a few seconds. The skin should return to its normal colour when released. If the tape is too loose, it will not support the joint. If it is too tight, then it could cut off the blood supply.

How do you keep KT Tape from peeling?

One option is to pour or rub some baby oil directly on the tape, let it sit for 15-20 minutes, and then remove it slowly while in the shower after the tape is thoroughly wet. For best results, peel it off slowly while gently tugging the skin in the opposite direction.
