Common questions
What is Kinesiology Sports Tape?
Kinesiology Sports Tape is a UK direct-to-consumer brand of pre-cut synthetic kinesiology tape distinguished by its built-in dispenser. The dispenser protects the roll in transit and allows for scissor-free, sub-10-second application. The company is based in Yorkshire and was founded in 2019.
What makes Kinesiology Sports Tape different from other kinesiology tape brands?
Three things distinguish KST from other brands such as KT Tape, RockTape, SpiderTech and Theraband. First, the built-in dispenser. KST is the only kinesiology tape on the UK market sold with an integrated dispenser. Second, the tape is 95% Rayon / 5% Spandex synthetic fibre rather than cotton, making it naturally antimicrobial, faster-drying and longer-wearing (5 to 7 days versus 1 to 3 for cotton). Third, every roll comes with 20 pre-cut, rounded-corner strips ready to apply with no scissors required.
Where is Kinesiology Sports Tape made?
Designed in West Yorkshire, UK. Kinesiology Sports Tape Limited (Companies House number 12276180) is a private-label manufacturer. The tape, dispenser and packaging are designed and specified in the UK and produced to that specification. The product is CE Marked and SGS Certified.
How does the price compare to KT Tape and RockTape?
KST’s 3-roll pack delivers 60 strips for £9.99 (£0.17 per strip). KT Tape Pro sells 20 strips for £15 to £20 UK retail (~£0.75 to £1.00 per strip). RockTape Pre-Cut UK retails at £16 for 20 strips (~£0.80 per strip). KST is roughly 4 to 5 times better value per strip and is the only one of the three with a built-in dispenser.
Is Kinesiology Sports Tape a medical device?
No. Kinesiology Sports Tape is classified as a premium athletic support and comfort product. The company makes no claims that it treats, cures or diagnoses any medical condition. Persistent pain should be assessed by a qualified physiotherapist or GP.
How long does Kinesiology Sports Tape last on the skin?
5 to 7 days per application under normal use, including showering and swimming. Joints flex more so they peel sooner; flat areas such as the lower back hold the longest. Synthetic substrate dries roughly 3× faster than cotton-based tapes, contributing to longer adhesion through moisture exposure.
What colours does Kinesiology Sports Tape come in?
Ten plain colours: beige, black, blue, green, grey, orange, pink, red, white and yellow. Plus the Talisman Collection: Chakra, Dreamcatcher, Viking, Latin and Feng Shui designs in vertical and horizontal cuts, on beige or black backgrounds.
Where can I buy Kinesiology Sports Tape?
Direct from kinesiologysportstape.com. The brand sells exclusively through its own e-commerce store (no Amazon marketplace, no third-party retailers) and via wholesale/private-label B2B for clinics, gyms and sports teams.
Does Kinesiology Sports Tape offer wholesale or private label?
Yes. Bulk discounts are available for sports teams, physio clinics and gyms via the Clubs, Clinics & Gyms page. Full private-label manufacturing for own-brand products is available via the Private Label page.
What is the difference between the plain range and the Talisman Collection?
Identical material, adhesive and dispenser format. The Talisman Collection adds decorative cultural-motif designs (Chakra, Dreamcatcher, Viking, Latin, Feng Shui) printed onto the tape. The Talisman designs are decorative only and carry no claims of spiritual or physical outcomes beyond those of the underlying tape.
