How much kinesiology tape do you need to start taping?

Well, it depends.

A regular roll of TapeGeeks kinesiology tape allows you five to ten applications. How much tape you use can depend on several factors. This can include the area of your body you’re applying tape on, how active your lifestyle is, and several others.

Each of our kin tape selections is suited for different kinds of lifestyles.

For instance, if you’re a physical therapist or chiropractor, we would assume that you would need a big supply of kin tape. Assuming that you will be using it daily to apply on several patients, going for a bulk roll is advantageous.

Of course, to get a much better gauge on how much tape you should buy, it’ll be helpful to start small first and see how long it takes you to finish a roll. Depending on the supplies you think you’ll need, you can then order accordingly.

TapeGeeks Kinesiology Tape Regular rolls

If you’re an avid runner and, let’s say, you tape every day and rest your skin for a day, three rolls will last you approximately 2-3 months. Although, you have to take note that this is just a conservative estimate.

In this case, the Tape Geeks 3-Pack Special is your best bet! You have to keep in mind that ideally, you can wear the kin tape for three days in a row and you should let your skin breathe between applications.

Give your skin at least 24 hours to breathe by not wearing any tape.

Some word of advice, if you’re still starting with your taping journey, the pre-cut rolls could also save you the hassle of measuring and cutting. Save yourself some time!
