I've tried many other colors of rock tape. The black seems to stick the best. Even better than the beige H2O tape. Works great for decompression and to help pain. I look up ways to tape on Pinterest and YouTube. It's very helpful if you have someone to help you if you need it in areas you can't reach.

Rock tape is great for pulled muscles that need support to heal and would be very uncomfortable with and Ace bandage i.e. pulled abdomen or rib cage muscles. My wife uses it on her heels for support as well. Excellent product.

Stays on for over a week and as odd as it seems, helps reduce my chronic back pain (along with physical therapist prescribed exercise). I first tried KT tape, and while it too works, the stuff comes off in 3 to 4 days.
