Underwrap Tape – protective layer for comfortable taping
Underwrap Tape is a thin, flexible tape used as a protective intermediate layer beneath conventional sports tape. It prevents direct skin contact with strong adhesive tapes and relieves pressure on the skin with frequent use. Underwrap is made of a soft, slightly stretchy material that can be easily wrapped around joints and other body parts without restricting movement.
The greatest advantage of this type of tape is its skin-friendly properties. Strongly adhesive sports tapes can cause skin irritation, especially during long training sessions or frequent taping. Underwrap tape creates a comfortable barrier that protects both the tape and the skin. It allows for residue-free removal and provides greater comfort because the tape doesn't pull directly against the skin.
Underwrap is primarily used in combination with non-elastic tape, but can also be combined with other taping techniques. It is suitable for areas such as ankles, wrists, or knees – anywhere where large areas of tape are being taped or sensitive skin requires additional protection. The tape can be easily unwound from the roll and torn off by hand, making it easy to apply even on the go or when you're pressed for time.
Underwrap tape is available in various colors and roll widths. It offers a practical addition to the tape range when comfort and skin compatibility are paramount. As a base for clean taping, it plays an important role in training and athletic activities.
