Hi - I need advice on medical tapes?

    Well I'm looking for a multi-purpose medical tape for use in sport, one that as well as simply fixing dressings can also be used to support (e.g. wrist/ankle wrapping). Being waterproof is a must.

    From my own, small, research I'm thinking of either getting a generic Fabric Wrapping Tape, or a Microporous tape.

    Any advice?
    @Zeax - Lol yeah I used to use electrical tape, but my club got annoyed at me using their supply. So I decided that if I'm gonna buy some, I might as well buy the right stuff.

    Heck, back when i played sport we used generic electric tape! Worked a charm and had the advantage of colors :P

    I'd say you use micropore tape as it seems alot more waterproof although it may be a case of testing the theory and finding out as im sure they both have advantages and disadvantages over each other.

    just go to the drug store and purchase some wide paper tape.. from the first aid section.. it holds well and it is removed easily .. it is commonly used for dressings
