ABOUT TAPE & LOTION

    1. Q: What is the difference between Power Tape and Roll Tape? A:Both are the titanium-based tape via Phiten’s technology. Since the shape is different, the following way of usage is recommended:
      • Power Tape (patch type): Non-elastic
        This type is recommended when you feel discomfort at a pinpoint area by pressing with your finger.
      • Roll Tape: Elastic
        This type is recommended when you feel a sense of discomfort at large muscles or at joint areas. You may cut the tape according to your desired length.
    2. Q:How long can the effect of Titanium Tape last? A:The effect of Titanium Tape will not be weakening, just like other Phiten products. However, saying more clearly, we recommend changing the tape on your skin regularly every 2-3 days at the longest to prevent skin troubles (depending on individuals), especially in hot/humid weather or after exercises.
    3. Q:What should I do if my skin gets red or feel itchy after using the titanium tape? A:You should stop using it immediately and remove gently. Please keep the certain area clean and wait until the redness and itchiness has gone before using it again on the same area. If those skin troubles continue, please consult your doctor.
      Since the skin cells also breathes and perspires, it needs to be exposed to the air regularly. Even though adhesive glue for medical use has been using, preventing these troubles 100% is not easy. Please try “patch test” before you actually use the tape on your skin.
      If you skin is sensitive to adhesive tape, it is suggested to use Metax Lotion or cream instead. Apply the body lotion or cream on muscle with gentle massage and the relaxing power is same as the titanium tape.
    4. Q:Can I take a shower/a bath with the tape? A:Yes, showering or bathing will not affect the function itself. However, the tape may come off easier after getting wet
    5. Q:How long can the tape & lotion last? A:The tape could stay for 2-3 days as mentioned in Q16, subject to skin hygienic reason. The lotion will last for approximately 2-6 hours, depending on the body situations and activities.
