I was at the store today looking for some mircospore aka medical tape.. I came across two kinds and was not sure what one to purchase.. One was flexiable clear tape.. It's made of like plastic material.. The other was a medical tape made of like cloth.. So I was wondering should I get plastic or cloth medical tape??

i imagine it doesn't much matter. if the pores on the tapes are the same size, just choose the cheaper one. i personally use the paper micropore tape. works like a charm for set it n forget it tubs.

Micropore Tape (I think it's a 3M product) or Gentle Paper Tape .... the ones you want are breathable ... they are not 'plastic' types.
I'm not sure about the heavier cloth 'surgical' tape.

Well I purchased both that I was telling you about they were only 2.09 and 2.99 but they both say flexible and breathable.. Even the plastic based tape.. And they are both made by 3M, but i couldn't find any that said micropore, just breathable..

You want them to say micropore or millipore on the package. If it isn't labeled so, they aren't true micropore.

I got the one thats a little thicker... If you look on the back near the barcode it will say what type of 'technical' tape it is... it didnt say anywhere on my roll that it was 'micropore' tape... on the back near the barcode it said "micropore tape" There are too many different types of tape... but I made sure I got the one that was "breathable"
good luck!!

My Nexcare Brand tape had it in big bold letters right on the front. I couldn't find any that were labeled as such at the department stores so I went to the Phamacy and asked a Clerk.

 transpore

micropore
they both work well IME, some people will say transpore can't withstand the heat from a PC but in my trials it held up well.

I wouldn't trust it. People buy micropore tape for a reason. So any tape fitting the bill would be labeled as such. I think "Surgical Tape" is a generic term. Just my thoughts on the subject. Someone else may pop in and shoot my theory to shit.

Yeah, I had to look real close ... you can see how small the "Micropore" label is at the bottom. I stood in that isle for like 20 minutes.
