Sporttape

Hills we would die on as a sport tape company working with world class athletes, clubs and therapists

The hills⬇️

You're asking the wrong question.
Stop asking “what tape should I use” and start asking “what am I trying to achieve?” The goal comes first, not the product.

Tape is only as good as the person applying it.
The tape is only as good as the person applying it. You can have the best tape in the world, but if prep's not right, it won’t stick.

Good tape can't save bad application
Better tape doesn’t fix bad application or bad manufacturing standards. We don’t just pick products off a shelf. With over 12 years in the making, working directly with specialist, accredited factories (BRC Grade A), going back and forth (more times than we’d like to admit) to get it right.

Tape isn't a miracle cure.
Tape doesn’t perform miracles. It doesn’t fix broken bones, it doesn’t replace rehab. It gives confidence. Sometimes that 1% confidence is everything.

Round the damned corners.
If you’re skipping rounded corners, you’re doing it wrong. It might feel like a faff but it’s the difference between peeling in minutes and a proper application that lasts.

Injuries don't care about opinions.
Education beats opinions every single time. That’s why we work with physios, therapists and clinicians to constantly push education forward. Tutorials are everywhere. Use them, or DM us and we’ll point you in the right direction. Comment "LEARN" and we will send you a link to our online courses.

Stop sabotaging your own application.
If you’re super hairy... This might not be for you. Tape needs skin contact. You can shave the area 12 hours before or give it a bit of a trim. What about moisturiser before taping? That’s a hard no. Oils, creams, and residue kill adhesion before you’ve even started. If the skin isn’t clean and dry, the tape won’t perform properly – simple as that. Prep it right, or don’t expect it to stick.

You can find all our best application tips & best practices on our website.

Nothing better than that fresh rip, snip, stick.

Kinesiology Tape provides flexible support for your muscles and joints. Super stretchy, extra sticky and skin friendly. A standard roll gives you around 10-15 applications, and it works for most joints and muscle group. Ankles, knees, elbows – your go-to size.

You get the stability you need without feeling like you're wrapped in a cast. Perfect for joints that need backup but still need to move.

Kinesiology tape moves with you. It stretches like your skin does, so it won't restrict your range of motion. You can train, compete, and recover without feeling held back. The extra sticky adhesive means it stays put through sweat, water, and whatever your week throws at you.

Apply it once, forget about it.

The 25/26 season has been a big one! 😮‍💨

Over 250km of tape used.
Over 2,000 hours of CPD completed.
Over 1,000 clubs stocked up.
19+ countries reached.
4,000+ first aid units out keeping players safer.

Hundreds of therapists, coaches, first aiders, students and athletes learnt with us this season too, from HQ workshops to university sessions, webinars, partner shoots and pitch-side days.

Dermal Pads landed. First Aid joined the range. Welsh Boxing joined the SPORTTAPE team. Cardiff Devils kept us busy. Ultra X took the tape worldwide. A ridiculous amount of Rhino kit and SPORTTAPE went out the door in our biggest giveaway yet.

This season was built by the people using tape properly, asking better questions, learning new skills and keeping sport moving every week.

Next season, we’re going again.
New products. New education. New rewards. More ways to back your team properly.

The wait's over. Dermal Pads are back.��Quick recap, in case you needed one:

D3O® Dermal Pads are made for targeted cushioning in contact areas. Think pressure points, friction, soreness under tape, and that “please don’t land there again” feeling after a heavy session.

Soft, flexible, easy to tape over, and built with D3O® impact-absorbing material.
Grab your pair before they're gone – and if last time's anything to go by, that won't take long.

Blister taping full tutorial 🩹

You will use:
2.5cm TEAR EAB
5cm FOAM TAPE

Wearing footwear like studded boots can typically cause pressure right under the first MTP, so place the foam tape directly underneath as shown in the clip.

For the top of the application, go around the big toe – just to make sure the top doesn’t peel back. Ben likes to wrap around the big toe first, over the end of the foam tape, and try to miss the little toe (leave enough tension with the tape).

Make sure it’s tight enough so the application doesn’t move underneath and make the skin sticky, but not so tight you restrict blood flow. It should be comfortable, but secure.

Don't let sweaty hands ruin your results.

Thumb Tape is ideal when you need a bit of extra grip without the sticky residue after taping.

For athletes like Owain (Instagram: ), that's pretty essential for racing.

Thumb Tape acts as a second skin. Effectively allowing you to feel the bar and move your fingers and thumbs, whilst also providing protection.

Quick, simple and effective. Thumb Tape can be applied in seconds. Wrap-up just before your big lift or 'Workout of the Day' with ease.

The stretchy fabric can be manipulated around joints. Making it ideal for Olympic Weightlifters, Crossfitters, Gymnastics, and Powerlifting athletes.
