Many thanks to Neil who found this tape and brought it to my attention. This was the first silicone tape I ever used on my lids. It is distinctly more skin friendly than paper or plastic tapes - the adhesive is not nearly as harsh on the skin. Two pieces makes my lid feel quite secure. I've had good feedback from many users over the years on this one.
Its comfortable application and removal along with secure adhesion makes it ideal for patients with sensitive, compromised or at-risk skin, and better for all patients whose treatment requires medical tape.
Research confirms that upon removal, 3M™ Kind Removal Silicone Tape causes minimal epidermal cell stripping and less pulling of hair.

This tape is gentle to the skin as advertised, however, the hold is not as firm as promised.

Because of allergies to most adhesives I’ve only been able to use paper tape. It doesn’t hold for long. Never tried this tape. It stays and in removing I have No burns. I will be ordering more.

Need to put in moisture cream and tape my eyelid due to a brain tumor 40 yrs ago. Tapes are just so compromising to the skin. This tape stays in place and is so gentle to remove! Finally found a tape to use after trying so many different kinds with so many issues. So glad I tried your site.

The silicone tape has given me great relief for my dry eye condition. This is the only tape gentle enough to not irritate the sensitive skin around my eyes. I also love the automatic monthly delivery set up, so I don't run out.

My eye protrudes forward and cannot shut on its own. Since using this tape I have little to no inflammation, irritation or redness in the morning since the eye is able to remain closed. Another benefit has been that I am more rested since light is no longer filtering in while I'm asleep. The tape removes gently and has rarely pulled an eyelash. It tears easily to whatever size is needed. I found the best way to tape my eye is one piece horizontal on the inside corner and one piece vertical on the outside corner use. After a little practice it's easy to tape on and off without a mirror. Small and compact the roll is easy to carry while traveling when I need a nap. I hope it works for you too! NOTE FROM REBECCA: So glad this is working for you. Really appreciate all the detail on your taping method - two pieces / two directions is a new one to me and great to know!
