TapeGeeks is a Canadian, family-run brand that makes pro-grade taping, recovery, and better-breathing products — kinesiology tape, athletic tape, cohesive bandages and wraps, drug-free nasal strips and mouth tape (the Breathe+ range), and precision scissors and medical shears. We serve everyday athletes and families as well as physiotherapists, clinics, and teams.

Yes — TapeGeeks is Canadian owned and operated, based in Oakville, Ontario. We hold stock on both sides of the border: Canadian orders ship from Oakville and US orders ship from our warehouse in Lewiston, New York, so customers in either country get a domestic delivery with no duties. We also sell on Amazon in the US, Canada and Europe.

Five main ranges: kinesiology tape (rolls, precut, bulk, patterns), athletic and sports tape (rigid support and finger/grip tape), cohesive bandages and wraps (self-adherent vet wrap, elastic adhesive bandage, underwrap), the drug-free Breathe+ sleep range (mouth tape, adult and kids' nasal strips, sleep kits), and scissors and medical shears (taping scissors, bandage scissors, trauma shears, bundles).

Yes. TapeGeeks is an established Canadian small business used by athletes, physiotherapists, and clinics, with thousands of customer reviews across Amazon and our own store. We back our products with a 30-day return policy on unopened items and honest, no-hype product guidance.

Quality (pro-grade materials trusted by clinics and thousands of reviewers), skin-friendliness (latex-free, hypoallergenic tape and drug-free breathing products), and honest guidance (we tell you what each product can and can't do, and when to see a professional). We're a Canadian small business that stands behind what we sell.

Yes. TapeGeeks is behind the Mercedes-Benz Oakville Bronte Harbour Classic, a 1K, 5K and 10K road race in Oakville, Ontario on June 20, 2027. We also supply clubs, running groups and studios through our Club & Studio Program, and support teams and clinics with wholesale and bulk pricing.

TapeGeeks is a Canadian owned and operated company based in Oakville, Ontario, and our products are manufactured to our specifications in an ISO-certified facility. We are straight about that distinction: the company, the team and the support are Canadian, and the manufacturing is done by an ISO-certified partner rather than in Canada.

Yes, two ways. Tappy, our AI assistant, is available on every page of the site and can help you pick a product, compare options or find a taping guide. For anything Tappy cannot settle — an order, a return, a wholesale enquiry — email admin@tapegeeks.com and a real person on our small Canadian team will answer.

Our tapes are manufactured in an ISO-certified facility, and are latex-free and hypoallergenic where stated on the product. We are deliberately careful about what we claim beyond that: taping and wrapping products are supportive comfort aids, not medical devices that treat a condition, and we would rather tell you that plainly than dress it up.

There is a reviews page on this site, and thousands of customer reviews across our Amazon listings in Canada, the US and Europe. We also publish customer video reviews. If you want the unvarnished version, Amazon reviews are the largest sample and we do not control them.

Completely. Our nasal strips and mouth tape work mechanically — strips open the nose and mouth tape encourages lip closure — with nothing swallowed or absorbed and no medication involved.

Nasal strips are drug-free and low-risk for adults and kids ages 5+. Mouth tape is for healthy adults who breathe well through the nose — it's not for children and not a treatment for sleep apnea. Each product page explains exactly who it's for and who should avoid it.

No. Our taping, wraps, and breathing products are supportive comfort aids, not medical treatments. They can help you move, recover, and breathe more comfortably, but for a specific injury, persistent pain, or a medical condition, see a healthcare professional.

Our kinesiology tape, athletic sports tape and cohesive bandage wrap are all latex-free. This matters more than people expect, because plenty of cohesive wraps and vet wraps on the market are made with natural latex. If you are wrapping someone whose allergy history you do not know — which is normal in a clinic — check the specific product rather than assuming, and that applies to every brand including ours.

Breathe+ kids' nasal strips are designed for children ages 5 and up. Adult nasal strips are for adults. Mouth tape is for healthy adults only and should never be used on children. Kinesiology tape is commonly used on children by paediatric physiotherapists, but for a child's injury we would want a professional to assess it rather than have you self-tape. Each product page states exactly who it is for.

Yes. Physiotherapists, chiropractors, athletic therapists, sports medicine clinics, gyms and teams use our tape and supplies, and we support them with wholesale accounts, bulk rolls and clinic pricing. Our kinesiology tape and taping scissors are the two items that turn up most often in clinic kits.

Our kinesiology tape is both latex-free and hypoallergenic, with an adhesive chosen to be gentle on skin — which helps if you have reacted to other tapes before. That said, any adhesive worn for several days can irritate sensitive skin, so patch-test a small piece first if you know your skin is reactive, and take the tape off if you feel itching or burning rather than pushing through it.

Three years from the date of manufacture — and you do not have to take our word for it, because the manufacture date is printed on the barcode label of every product. We think that should be standard. A lot of brands in this category print no date at all, which leaves you with no way of knowing whether the roll you just bought has been sitting in a warehouse for two years. Store products somewhere cool and dry and out of direct sunlight and they will comfortably reach that three-year mark.

Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover and Diners Club, plus PayPal, Shop Pay, Apple Pay and Google Pay. Payment is handled by Shopify's secure checkout — we never see or store your card details.

No. You can check out as a guest. An account is worth creating if you order regularly, because it stores your addresses and order history. Professionals are different: clinics and retailers should set up a professional account so wholesale pricing applies automatically when you log in and shop the normal store.

Yes — new customers can claim 10% off, and subscribing to the TapeGeeks newsletter also gets you new taping videos, guides and occasional discounts. If you belong to a club, team or studio, stop before you use the 10%: our Club Program code is 40% off, which is a far better deal.

Prices on tapegeeks.com are shown in Canadian dollars. We also sell on Amazon in the United States, Canada and Europe, where you will be charged in that marketplace's local currency.

Yes. Retailers and clinics who already buy through Faire can order TapeGeeks there, which is often the easiest route if Faire is already part of your buying process. If you would rather deal with us directly, email admin@tapegeeks.com and we will set up a direct wholesale account instead.

New taping videos, guides and occasional discounts — it is the main way we send out new how-to content rather than a constant stream of promotions. New customers can also claim 10% off. If you are part of a club or studio, use the Club Program code instead: 40% beats 10%.

Free shipping on orders over CA$50 within Canada and over US$40 within the USA. Breathe+ kids' nasal strips ship free within Canada with no minimum at all. Orders under those thresholds are charged standard shipping, calculated at checkout based on your address.

Yes. Shipping options and costs for international destinations are calculated at checkout based on your address. We also sell through Amazon in the United States, Canada and Europe, which is often the faster route if you are outside North America.

Both sides of the border, which is the part most people do not realise. Canadian orders ship from our Oakville, Ontario location, and US orders ship from our warehouse in Lewiston, New York. That means a US order is a domestic US delivery and a Canadian order is a domestic Canadian delivery — not a cross-border parcel with the delays that usually come with one.

Not within Canada or the United States. Because we hold stock in both countries — Oakville, Ontario for Canada and Lewiston, New York for the US — your order is shipped domestically and never crosses a border, so there are no import duties, customs charges or brokerage fees to pay on delivery. This is the fee that catches people out when they order taping supplies from a single-country seller.

Delivery estimates for your address are shown at checkout before you pay, and orders ship from whichever of our two warehouses is in your country. International orders outside Canada and the US take longer and can be up to 21 days depending on the destination country and its customs processing.

You can return unopened items in their original packaging within 30 days of purchase with proof of purchase. After 30 days we're unable to offer a refund or exchange. Only regular-priced items are refundable (sale items are final), and return shipping is arranged and paid by the customer. Refunds go to your original payment method once we receive and inspect the item. Email admin@tapegeeks.com to start a return.

Returns are for unopened items in original packaging within 30 days. Because these are personal-use and hygiene-related products, opened items generally can't be returned. If something arrived damaged or defective, contact admin@tapegeeks.com and we'll help.

Returns go to TapeGeeks Inc., 100 Bronte Road #11, Oakville, Ontario L6L 6L5, Canada. Email admin@tapegeeks.com first so we know it is coming and can help you avoid sending something that will not qualify.

Return shipping is arranged and paid by the customer, and must be prepaid — we cannot accept collect deliveries. Refunds also do not include the original shipping and handling charges shown on your packing slip or invoice. If the return is because we sent the wrong item or it arrived damaged, contact us first and we will sort it out properly.

Email admin@tapegeeks.com with your order number and a photo. That is not a normal return — we will make it right. Do not ship anything back before you have heard from us.

We process your refund as soon as the returned item reaches us and has been checked. It then goes back to your original payment method, and how quickly it appears on your statement after that is down to your bank or card issuer rather than us. Remember that refunds do not include the original shipping and handling charges.

Yes. We supply clinics, physiotherapists, chiropractors, athletic-training rooms, gyms, and retailers with wholesale kinesiology tape and taping supplies, including bulk rolls. See our wholesale page or email admin@tapegeeks.com to set up an account. We also offer bulk options on-site for teams and heavy users.

Two routes: order through Faire, or set up a direct account with us. We supply physiotherapy clinics, chiropractic offices, sports medicine clinics, athletic therapists, gyms, teams, pharmacies and wellness retailers across Canada. Visit our wholesale page or email admin@tapegeeks.com to get set up. Once your professional account is active, you log into the normal store and wholesale pricing applies automatically.

Yes — the TapeGeeks Club Program gives your whole club or studio 40% off everything, through a single shared code. It works for running clubs, CrossFit boxes, sports teams, dance and yoga studios: any organised group that trains together. There are no minimum orders, no volume commitments and no accounts for members to create — they shop the site normally and enter the code at checkout.

You fill out a short application form, a real person reviews it, and you hear back within one to two business days. Your club receives its own code — something like CLUB-BRONTERUNNERS — which you share in your club chat, newsletter or locker room. Every member gets 40% off on every order, with no minimum. Free access to our taping guide library comes with it.

Yes. We send evaluation samples to clinics — email admin@tapegeeks.com with your clinic name and what you would like to try, and we will get it out to you. We would rather you tested the tape on real patients before committing to a wholesale order than have you buy a case on the strength of a product photo.

Yes — you'll find TapeGeeks on Amazon in the US, Canada, and Europe. Buying direct on tapegeeks.com gives you the full range, bundles, and wholesale options in one place.

Email admin@tapegeeks.com for help choosing a product, questions about an order or return, or wholesale enquiries. Our small Canadian team is happy to help.

Yes, and they are genuinely free. RunMate Pro is our iOS running app with GPS tracking, shoe mileage and route management. SunUp by GearTOP covers UV safety and air quality for outdoor training. We also built two free directories: SportClinicFinder for physiotherapy and sports clinics across Canada, and SleepClinicFinder for sleep and breathing clinics.

Yes — our Education hub organises every guide by body area: foot and ankle, knee and lower leg, hip, groin and core, back and neck, shoulder, and elbow, wrist and hand, plus taping basics and the Breathe+ sleep and breathing guides. Start with the KT Tape Application Chart if you want a single quick reference.
