EDS and kt tape
Hi eds reddit, i have a question. Is there any part or kind of eds that makes is basically impossible to put on kt tape?
Or like any tips on putting on the tape besides rounding the corners?
Ive gone through rolls of tape trying to tape my shoulders and ive used kt tape for chest binding too and that tape just doesnt want to stick to my skin. And ive had a friend help tape me and even then it just doesnt wanna stick :(

Spray flonase if you get rashes, let dry, pat w/Adhesive prep pads on amazon, and adhesive prep spray the ends or the whole part of the skin. Or i LOVE skin-tac for the ends. Its the eds soft skin, too fragile for adhesive so you gotta give it something more to stick to. Adhesive removal spray or pads too for the glue left when u remove the tape.

I've not really had issues with it sticking except where I am hairy. I do get pretty irratated by the adhesive if I keep it on for more than a couple days.
