Differences of P-Tex in a nutshell
  • Twin groove adhesive pattern for more channels to wick away moisture and sweat
  • Pressure Diamond sine wave pattern on the adhesive side allows deeper penetration designed to enhance pain relief
  • Only $8 per single (2” x 16.4’) roll. So many of the features you like for less money
  • Available only at limited vendors at this time

PerformTex is created by a leading kinesiology tape manufacturer and incorporates the latest developments and innovations in therapeutic taping technology.

How is PerformTex different?

Besides the price difference, PerformTex has a patented twin-groove adhesive pattern that is designed to allow moisture and sweat to wick away faster. This promotes better skin breathability and less skin irritation for those who may have shown sensitivity in the past or have sensitive skin in general.theratape.com

Another P-Tex difference can easily be seen in the opposing sine wave "pressure diamond" pattern interspersed every 2” on the adhesive side of the tape. (See picture above in green.) The pressure variations created by this pattern are designed to contribute to deeper penetration of benefits through the skin and into the underlying fascial layers. In short, this enhances pain relief.

What can PerformTex be used for?

P-Tex taping can be used for sports injuries, joint pain, muscle pain, overuse injuries, muscle tightness or spasms and post-op recovery. Simple taping instructions for common conditions are included in every package, allowing anyone to benefit from the Perform-Tex difference.

How is P-Tex similar to other brands?

  • 100% cotton
  • Hypoallergenic medical grade, heat-activated acrylic adhesive
  • No latex
  • 3-5 day wear time
  • Roll size 2” x 16.4’

    PerformTex is currently available only in single roll size in 3 colors – basic black, titanium grey, which is quite slick looking and speed green. The speed green really rocks.

Bargain Kinesiology Tape

This brand of kinesiology tape is a value particularly compared with a $20 roll of RockTape. You'd have to be pretty sold on the Rock brand to justify an $11 or $12 leap per roll in cost. Compared with KT tape, the difference is marginal, especially considering KT Tape is precut and worth the extra given the convenience.

PerformTex Tape is considered effective as experienced by the owner and buyers from theratape.com. Joanne was impressed by the quality of the tape. Early tests show it has good adhesive qualities during athletic events. The downside is that it is not presently available in as many colors and applications and is not available at as many outlets. Personally, I buy the large rolls to save money and have it on hand. We want to thank Theratape.com's help in offering legitimate feedback for this kinesiology tape brand.
