Sports Strapping Tape FAQs
What is the difference between rigid and elastic strapping tape?
Rigid (zinc oxide) tape does not stretch and gives firm support to limit joint movement, while elastic adhesive bandage (EAB) stretches to support the joint while allowing some controlled movement.
What is cohesive bandage tape used for?
Cohesive tape sticks only to itself, not to skin or hair, so it holds dressings and provides light support without adhesive residue — ideal for fingers, wrists and securing pads.
How is kinesiology tape different?
Kinesiology tape is a stretchy, skin-friendly tape used to support muscles and joints while allowing a full range of movement, often worn for several days at a time.
What tape is best for ankle strapping?
Rigid zinc-oxide tape is the standard for firm ankle support, often applied over an underwrap or with EAB anchors. A trainer or physio can show the correct technique.
