Cotton sports tape is a type of adhesive tape made primarily from cotton fabric, designed for supporting muscles, joints, and tendons during physical activity. It’s widely used in sports medicine, athletics, and physical therapy due to its specific properties.

Key Features:

• Material: Made from cotton, which offers good breathability, allowing air to circulate and reducing moisture buildup—helpful for comfort during extended wear.

• Adhesive: Typically has a strong, skin-friendly adhesive that sticks well to skin (and sometimes hair) but can be removed with less irritation compared to harsher synthetic tapes. Some versions use a zinc oxide-based adhesive, known for its mildness and durability.

• Rigidity: Less stretchy than Athletic tape, providing firm support to limit excessive movement of joints (e.g., ankles, wrists, knees) and stabilize injured areas.

• Tearability: Often easy to tear by hand (no scissors needed), making it quick to apply in training or emergency settings.
