"I finished a box of kinesio Classic and decided to try this. Both have given me a little extra support and comfort when I work out. I had my thumb joint "rebuilt" and the physical therapist gave me the classic and showed me how to use it on my wrist. (When I use it my wrist doesn't acupressure after I lift weights). I think I'm better at putting it on now so I'm not sure if it sticks better. -- when it has come loose it is usually because I have recently put on hand lotion so my fingers are a bit greasy when I touch the tape, or when I first started I tried to stretch the tape too close to the end. I sometimes used a small bandaid to tape the end back down. The photo is the gold after 4 days of workouts, showers and normal everyday dishwashing, etc. The end is just coming loose. I could bandaid it and keep going. One thing I forgot is that you have to trim the ends of your tape in a curve kind of like ( ). Straight ends will pop loose really fast and grab onto clothes" - Gym Rat 71 Amazon.com
